I am satisfied because I do not want placement support.

Infrastructure: Talking about Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and the library, all facilities were available there. However, the hostel was not available, so you had to settle on your own. The quality of the canteen was good. You could even get lunch platters in the canteen. Regarding sports, no ground was available.

This college is best for students.

Infrastructure: Classrooms have 24/7 electricity and digital boards for better understanding. The college has a good library, but one thing is that the library does not permit everyday access. This is bad for me. The college has labs and Wi-Fi, but the Wi-Fi is slow. For sports, the college participates in district-level RGPV tournaments.

Just for a nominal purpose to achieve a degree without going to college.

Infrastructure: There are no facilities like labs, Wi-Fi, library, or even sports playground. Also they do not offer any mess or canteen services. It is just like a square-shaped building of 2 floors in which the ground floor is occupied by manufacturers and the 1st floor is for study purposes having only 8 to 10 classrooms.

Infrastructure: Facilities are the worst. It has old and broken buildings. Classrooms have limited capacity. No Wi-Fi is provided. The library charges are not justified. Limited course books are available as there are only 2-3 sets. Labs have no proper management for experiments, and the setup is broken. The hostel is the worst for the amount they charge.
