Short review based on my opinion.

Infrastructure: We have neat classrooms, a lab for online learning sessions, and a library with almost all books and free Wi-Fi. Actually, I am not a hostel student, but I know a few things about our college hostel that I learned from my friends who are hostelers: there are many blocks known as main and additional. The newly built blocks have advanced facilities compared to the old ones, and the canteen food is not bad.
