My experience at GCE Salem: Pros, cons, and insights.

Infrastructure: Since it is a government college, all the infrastructure and facilities required for students are available, such as free Wi-Fi and laboratory. Classrooms are equipped with 6 ceiling fans, and the college library, which has about 50000 books. The hostel is well-equipped with simple furniture, a separate cupboard, a ceiling fan, etc. As for the food, it is all vegetarian food available.

The college gives independency to students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good for the students. It is connected to nature. The buildings are old but in good condition. There is a cafeteria for students and also a store on the campus. The cafe has all the food items. There are two hostels, one for boys and another one for girls. Boys' hostel timing is 6-9, and girls' hostel timing is 6-6. The food quality in the hostel is average. There is also a medical center near the hostel office. There is a huge ground to play on.

A really cost effective college with good environment and absolutely good lecturers.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are well-equipped for their respective department. It's a quiet place, I won't say it's well-equipped for the hostel. But considering the cost, I guess it's enough. For the students, it is the best environment for studies. It's a vegetarian college (don't like that).

My research paradise with Angel.

Infrastructure: The college management provides good and commendable facilities like Wi-Fi, a library, and smart classrooms, with well-experienced faculty members. You'll enjoy hostel life, although the hostel food is average; compared to other hostels, it's good for the price. There is no canteen on campus, but there are some shops outside the college.

I have learned and evolved as a better engineer, and college won't restrict you in anything .

Infrastructure: There are many laboratories in my department more than 10 labs, starting from foundry to CNC labs. Our college has every lab which is required by the students and all the labs are in working condition with good potential staff. I am reviewing four stars due to the hostel, In hostel, the food is not too good afternoon is okay too good but hostel is cleaned frequently, three times a week, and we need to take care of our rooms that should be cleaned by them.
