SGSITS has been downgraded a lot.

Infrastructure: Although the IT infrastructure is good. The classrooms are good, but the Wi-Fi doesn't work throughout the whole campus, including the hostels. The library is aesthetic and silent. Labs are fine not something you will think is great in any sense, that's it. Facilities are bad.

Very bad. Do not join.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very bad. There is no Wi-Fi. Even the mobile signal from our service providers is blocked on campus. There are jammers everywhere, so you cannot access the internet or use phones. I do not stay in the hostel as I am a day scholar, but I have been told that the college hostels are very dirty and filthy.

Good college for IT students as well as for management students (MBA, BBA).

Infrastructure: The institution provides good facilities, and the infrastructure is good. They provide 24/7 Wi-Fi support, a proper big lab, and digitalised classrooms. Our college has a total of 2 libraries. No facilities for a hostel. The quality of food is also good, but it charges Rs. 3-4 more than the outside food price (handmade food). They have a canteen, games, and sports. Lectures are regulated on a timetable basis.

Good ROI and environment, but faculty and placements need improvement.

Infrastructure: The rooms are average, and there is no Wi-Fi in the hostel. The IMS library has limited resources, so most students prefer using the central library on the DAVV campus. Sports facilities are good, and the college regularly organizes cultural programs, fests, and concerts. Hostel facilities are decent, while the food is average and could be improved.
