Great experience overall, with supportive teachers and a lively campus.

Infrastructure: In civil engineering, we have all the labs and classrooms we need, with Wi-Fi and a great library to study from. I live in the Siang hostel. The rooms are decent with LAN and Wi-Fi, and the mess food is okay, with the canteen for variety when we get bored. The campus has a 24/7 medical center, so health is not a worry, and sports facilities are really good. Grounds, courts, gym, and even a swimming pool are available. Overall, its a pretty comfortable place to live and study.

Each hostel has an AC library and gym of its own. There is a big central library and a gym for the whole campus. Classroom infrastructure is way beyond what we will see in other tier 2 colleges.

The best college to take admission in 2025.

Infrastructure: We had everything in our hostel including cupboards, indoor games, indoor courts, gym, and Wi-Fi at a very high speed. The quality of food depends on the mess you prefer, so the quality was based on the mess similarly. We had luxury rooms in the first year where we could make new connections. Also, college campus was very beautiful with natural beauty.
