Infrastructure: So the infrastructure in my college is really good, not bad. Everything is good. The classrooms and computer labs are well maintained. The library has all facilities needed for students. But Wi-Fi is the only problem because the speed may sometimes be slow. Other than that, all facilities are good. It is comfortable.

Infrastructure: In our department, the classrooms were modern, we had Wi-Fi, and access to library resources. The campus was clean and well maintained. Hostel facilities were not bad, with decent food. Sports and extracurricular activities were of little importance, but it's a good place for students who only want to focus on their goals.

Good college for career development.

Infrastructure: The campus is very nice and has a good atmosphere to study but the labs are too old even some machines are not working properly and the teachers are too good they help us to study better. I am a day-scholar student and I don't know about the hostel but the hostel is newly constructed and good to stay in. Our college supports sports very much. They give full support to sports students and the canteen is good. They provide good food to students at a cheap rate.

Nandha Engineering College review.

Infrastructure: Hostel and mess are a waste of money. They are not providing good food, and hostel wardens are so strict, taking up unwanted issues and making students suffer. They don't allow outside food in the hostel and do not use any boiler or cooking stuff inside the hostel. There is a 6:30 PM curfew to get inside the hostel. The campus is very big and green, it is near the highway, so it is easy for students to reach the bus. The labs are good with good internet and systems, and the library is also good....
