Dissatisfied because of management and infrastructure but has good placements in 2022.

Infrastructure: There was no Wi-Fi service available in our college. There was nothing in the name of infrastructure. There was just one building that too was in place. There was no playground or anything. This college was situated in a very small area. A simple canteen was there which was not spacious. There were no provisions for games or anything. Hostel were horrible, literally horrible. I am talking about girls hostel we had to clean our rooms every day.

College is really good in terms of education, and you'll even find lovable and entertaining friends.

Infrastructure: The college has Wi-Fi, labs, well-maintained classrooms, and a studious environment. There is a library filled with books. The hostel and canteen food is pretty good, but it may not provide all necessary nutrients. In terms of sports, the college motivates and encourages students to engage in games, and there is also an NCC group.

Anwesha: Journey of Life to Hi-Knowledge

Infrastructure: There are 5 lecture theatres (LT) with a seating capacity of 180 students. There is a central library equipped with free Wi-Fi connection. The library is study-friendly, equipped with a wide array of books from different foreign authors and published magazines. It is kept neat and clean, which makes it more adorable. The mess food is miserable. One has to sacrifice both taste and quality they serve. Hostel rooms are 3-seaters, but it is cozy with minimum ventilation and less floor space.

Dissatisfied with placements and lab quality.

Infrastructure: There are labs for respective courses, but the lab facility is poor. Wi-Fi was available. There are about 3 classrooms. The hostel was okay. One room was provided for 4 students, but it was not so clean and sanitized. But the bathrooms in hostels were always clean. The hostel has a canteen for lunch and dinner. But you can also take meal subscription from outside.

Infrastructure: The meal quality is awesome; they provide three-time meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They give three times nonveg in a week, like chicken, fish, eggs, prawns; on the vegetarian menu, panner, mushrooms, etc. The hostel rooms are very nice, with four beds and an attached bathroom.

I think I have wasted my money.

Infrastructure: Yes, there are labs, but the condition of the labs is not good. They have fewer equipments and the lab is messy. The windows of the labs are broken and very dirty. The condition of classrooms is not that bad, but I will say it's okay. I had never stayed in the hostel of the college and eaten the food, but I visited once, so I can say about it. The condition of the hostel is bad, the environment is also bad, the food quality is below average, and the same with the sports and games.
