An average college life with some amount of surprise.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is not excellent but it's better than other options. Our building is really old, and it is crowded most of the time, but the management is really awesome, they try to take your money and spend it wisely on improving the infrastructure. One of the best private universities in Chennai. Wi-Fi is being built, so I can't comment on Wi-Fi standards until that's finished.

Seeing overall, the college is decent in my opinion.

Infrastructure: It's pretty decent. As for the labs, they have good equipment, though sometimes things can be broken. The signal is poor in some places The library has all the books for academics. The canteen is questionable in my opinion, normal foods like sambar, dosa, and idly are all fine. Anything like past and friend price is not that good and is crowded most of the time.

Biotech in REC- how things actually move and work here.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is nice, with everything needed, such as labs, classrooms, and a playground. Even a gym and swimming pool have been added for hostel students. The hostel is a bit troublesome, like every other typical college hostel, with average food and rooms.

It is a good college if we want to study and get good industry exposure.

Infrastructure: Our college has good AC labs and ventilated classrooms. The quality of the food is nice. We have an ambulance and a medical room for emergencies. Sports and games are good, and the college students won at the state and national levels. The quality of food is good, but we only have vegetarian food here. Dominos, blackbuck, and CCD options are available here.

I am totally disappointed because of their infrastructure and facilities.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure in our college is not good. They mostly concentrate on culturals and promotions, not on the quality of education. They take a large number of students but don’t have enough classrooms for them. Restrooms are not clean. Wi-Fi facility is present only in name. Most of the components do not work in the laboratory. Overall, the infrastructure is the worst in our college. Hostel rooms are quite good, and food is also decent. Our college encourages cricket, football, basketball, and...

Overall a good college with good placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is sufficient for academic needs. Classrooms are not spacious, and they have basic facilities like boards and projectors. The campus is overcrowded. The quality of the hostel is very bad. They didn't allow non-veg in hostels during my period, but I heard that they changed it and are allowing it now.

College offers a perfect blend of studies and campus life.

Infrastructure: Our college has Wi-Fi in classrooms, computer labs with good systems, and a library with many books and e-resources. The labs are updated and are useful for practical learning. Hostels are neat with basic facilities like cupboards, study tables, and 24/7 water. The mess food is average but hygienic, and the canteen has better options. We also have a medical room, sports grounds, a gym, and indoor games. Overall, the facilities are good for both studies and daily life.

Not only focus on academics, but also on other domains like sports, skills, etc.

Infrastructure: Labs here have every facility, including the machines, components, electronic devices, and gadgets that are required to do the experiments. Devices are then and now checked for their efficiency and working, and changed and repaired accordingly.

College review by the student in the college.

Infrastructure: All good about the facilities and infrastructure available for our course and department. Food is moderate and the staff are above average. There was a health center in our college. They give a big opportunity in games and sports.

College and placements are good. Getting a seat through counseling is better.

Infrastructure: Information Technology and Computer Science have similar curricula. The hostel is just above average; 6 sharing beds in Habitat is okay, but the food was the worst. The campus is hygienic, with greenery around. The computer labs have basic facilities. Otherwise, it has good infrastructure, and there is a teachers' lounge.

Satisfied with our chosen faculty. Improvements have been made this year.

Infrastructure: Now non-veg is also available, but I think it's only for boys. I don't know about it clearly, but non-veg for boys for sure. Wi-Fi is not good in all surroundings. Only in some areas can we get a good connection. Quality teachers are available. More events like teaching events exist; if we use them in a fine way, we can shine for sure.

Satisfied because of good placement and infrastructure.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not top-tier, but good. Hostel facilities are also good, but the food served in the hostel is one of the worst. If you opt for the AC hostel. There won't be a non-vegetarian menu option for you, non-vegetarian food is provided in non-AC hostels for boys, but only 3 times a week.

Review of Rajalakshmi Engineering College.

Infrastructure: Hostel is average, and food is also average. Classrooms are neat. Library is very neat and silent, and most of the useful books are available in the library. Canteen is also neat, and the food is average. REC promotes sports and games normally. Medical treatment is really good.
