Absolutely dissatisfied with the infrastructure, library, faculty, and many more things.

Infrastructure: There's no Wi-Fi facility. Classrooms have poor infrastructure, and the library is closed most of the time. The labs have moderate technology, nothing new about the labs. The canteen is okay. There's a nurse room which is adjoined by a school also, and the canteen is also the same.

Satisfied with the teaching quality and course content, which makes students ready for the industry.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are top-notch when it comes to classroom facilities. It has Wi-Fi labs, air-conditioned classrooms with a central AC system, and a library from which you can take books home by just issuing them, to be returned upon completion of the semester. The washrooms are clean, which is required by everyone. Hostel food is not up to the mark.

Don’t take admission in university of Allahabad: The worst facility and the worst college life.

Infrastructure: The new hostel is good, but classroom and lab facilities are very poor. The projector is very old, and anything on the slides is not visible. The library is very small, only 50 students can sit at one time, and it closes at 4 pm (I am talking about the Science faculty library). Everything is the worst, I am saying this personally.

Infrastructure: In the hostel room, a bed and a study table are provided. There is also a separate bathroom, so you are not disturbed and can easily focus on your studies. You can stay in single or double occupancy rooms. The room cost is very high. The quality of food provided by the hostel is good and hygienic.

The college is disappointing.

Infrastructure: In my college, there is just a library and nothing else. Facilities and infrastructure available in my college are quite limited, as the institution operates from a single-floor building with only basic academic amenities. The primary facility accessible to students is the library, which serves as the main resource center for studying, reference work, and academic preparation. Although the infrastructure is simple, the library provides a quiet environment where students can read, prepare notes, ...

Infrastructure: They have good Wi-Fi facilities and have old and new computer labs and a good library, which is open during office hours only. Classroom are good. Have medical facilities and have different types of sports related programs. They have a mess facility, but change their food quality depending on whether the hostel is old or new.
