It is a good college for students’ future.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure was really appreciable. There were separate hostels for boys and girls. Many staff members worked in the hostels and helped students. Mess food was fully hygienic and delicious, but the food was available for a limited period only. In the hostel, students peacefully pursued their lives. Visitors visited the hostel on weekends.

The hostel rooms are very good and excellent, and the hostel food is delicious, though it is only vegetarian. However, the vegetarian food is very good, and there is also a TV in the hostel dining area.

Recruitment agencies are hired for recruitment.

Infrastructure: College is uncompromising with us when we delay in fee payments, they even charge extra fines for delayed fee payment. There is no possibility of doing activities like bunking class, ragging, and other interdisciplinary activities, which result in immediate determination from the college.

Review of Kongunadu Arts and Science College.

Infrastructure: The college reminded us of important notices once or twice before the event. Hostels were situated within the college campus, so students' movement outside the college was strictly prohibited during weekdays. If we needed anything, we had to ask the wardens to get it for us immediately.
