Infrastructure: When the NAAC visit was declared in the college, the college authority provided the Wi-Fi facility (just to show that there is Wi-Fi available in our college). The management is not providing Wi-Fi properly, and they are not providing a basic college environment.

Review on Government Law College Thiruvananthapuram.

Infrastructure: Government Law College Thiruvananthapuram is a 150-year-old campus, and the infrastructure here needs to be improved. There are not enough classrooms to accommodate all the batch students, no recreation area, no rooms for sports facilities, no gym, not even an auditorium. The college compound is very small, restricting the authorities from building all these amenities.
