Insights on Course Structure and Faculty in Computer Science.

Infrastructure: Coming to infrastructure, I would say that it's below average. They provide Wi-Fi within the circumstances, and it's not good either. The classrooms are good. Coming to labs, it's very well-equipped with updated systems, and the library is provided with more than 10,000 books of different genres.

Puducherry Technological University - College life

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of this college is quite average because this college was built around 30 to 40 years ago, and the restrooms are unclean. The only building with good infrastructure is the admin building where the Mechatronics department is situated. There is a canteen for the students to have their food, and the campus covers an area of 200 acres (approximately). There is a central library which has more than a thousand books.
