Faculty members are good, and the infrastructure is also good.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is also average here. Some computers are not even working properly in the labs. Sometimes, students can't get the internet facility in labs, other than that, the building is very big, and classrooms are very spacious and equipped with a smartboard.

The facilities have and infrastructure are very poor at our college. The building is not maintained properly. There is Wi-Fi facility in the hostel, and it is only available in the library.

SGSITS, Indore: worst infrastructure and fee structure for a so-called government-funded institute.

Infrastructure: College infrastructure is the worst. There is no cleanliness in the washrooms and classrooms. The classrooms, washrooms, and main building infrastructure are broken. The walls and ceiling have cracks. The canteen is unclean and disgusting. Basic facilities like computer labs (still very old) and a very big library are provided.

Faculty members are good, but the infrastructure and placements are poor.

Infrastructure: As per maintenance, fee taken from us, there is totally opposite infrastructure provided. Poor buildings, classrooms, washrooms, library, and departments are not well maintained. No water, no electricity, and no Wi-Fi is provided. Poor network is available. In my opinion, this is not at all worth maintenance fees, and we are not provided good infrastructure.

Faculty is helpful, but lacks punctuality. Placements are minimal, and infrastructure is good.

Infrastructure: In our college, all facilities are available, such as a canteen for snacks, a water purifier, a garden, a playground, an open space, a library, labs, etc. All facilities are well-maintained. There is just a network coverage issue, which occurs one or another time in a while.

SGSITS into summer from the perspective of a student who just lived 3 years here exploring domains.

Infrastructure: Labs and everything are excellent, with great faculty and good lab technical support. Wi-Fi is great and works fine, but sometimes it lags a lot. Hostels are average to mid-range, and good for people who don't expect luxury. Sports and games have a separate complex.
