Review of Gurucharan College.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is decent. Other than the washroom facilities, females do not have many facilities for it. There are separate hostels for boys and girls. The fee for the hostel is also not that high. The library is also a decent place where one will not be disturbed while studying.

This is one of the best universities for the M.Sc. in Earth Sciences course.

Infrastructure: There are a few small libraries and research centers on campus. The university lacks infrastructure compared to older universities, but it is good enough. The football team is recognized at other universities as well. The university has wonderful hostels, with vacant rooms. Water regulations ensure that buildings are adequately cooled even in summer.

This is one of the best universities for the M.Sc. in Earth Sciences course.

Infrastructure: The campus offers a mix of classrooms, additional lecture halls, and exhibits, all with 24-hour high-speed Wi-Fi. The power plant is well-equipped with efficient equipment. The hostel is well-equipped, providing beds, cupboards, a chair, and a desk for freshmen. While the mess food quality is not very good, other facilities like medical services, sports, and games are fantastic.

Review of my college and my college life, and how we enjoyed ourselves in college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is great, but we don't have Wi-Fi connections. The classrooms, labs, and library are also very good. We have both boys' common rooms and girls' common rooms too, where we can play indoor games like carrom, chess, ludo, etc. In our college, we don't have hostel facilities.

Dissatisfied, as the fee structure doesn't justify the facilities provided.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very poor. Classrooms are congested with a writing board only. No smart boards are available. The Wi-Fi available for the computer labs doesn't work. Wi-Fi is available in hostels, and hygiene is maintained. The bathrooms and corridors are cleaned at regular intervals. The mess food is average. There is a health center within the campus that provides basic treatment facilities, and there is a wide field available for cricket and football matches.

It was quite good for completing your graduation.

Infrastructure: The college has basic infrastructure. Classrooms are spacious but not very modern. Wi-Fi is available in some areas, but the speed is often slow. The library has a decent collection of books, but the reading space is limited. Labs are not very well-equipped for practical learning. Hostel facilities are average. Rooms are shared, and cleanliness can be improved. The mess food is okay but lacks variety. There are limited sports facilities, and medical services are minimal.
