Review of Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi.

Infrastructure: There is very poor Wi-Fi connectivity on our campus. Classrooms are very small and suffocating, with no AC. The best thing about Kamala Nehru College is that it has a huge library, but there is poor internet and Wi-Fi connectivity. It is big, so fans are not enough in summers. Classrooms are so good.

Good experience in my college years it is filled with many opportunities and new learnings.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure facilities have improved over the years. A new academic block has been established with various facilities. There are separate labs for psychology, computer, and geography in the college. The library is among the best, with newly updated books and good infrastructure.

A good crowd can make good friends and is good for your career as well.

Infrastructure: Facilities of water and washrooms are amazing. The washrooms are usually clean. Some classrooms are usually very small, students sit very congested, but the new building, which has been made recently, is really great. Wi-Fi doesn't work, nor can you access the network.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty, placements, campus, infrastructure and overall facilities.

Infrastructure: Facilities are 10/10, every classroom is air-conditioned with a proper ventilation system. We have proper labs for every course, like a geo lab, media lab, computer lab, etc. Wi-Fi condition is really good, we have proper connection throughout the campus. Our college doesn't offer hostels, so you have to get personal PGs.

College is not bad but not good. I am still enjoying it.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure in my college is quite average. The library is good, but there is no AC, and Wi-Fi doesn't work there. The computer lab is good, and the computers there work pretty well. Some classrooms are good, and some lack basic facilities like chairs. Honestly, it depends on what building you are in. The difference is big there. Journalism department is the biggest one, while the old building is, as suggested, old. A positive thing there is the extension of the new building now, which has AC...

College environment is so peaceful, stress-free, and away from the chaos.

Infrastructure: KNC provides amazing infrastructure. It has a rich library, greenery, gardens, and eco-friendly classrooms made of bamboo. It has various food outlets that provide decent-quality food. KNC does not have its own hostel, so students stay in rooms or PGs.

A decent college with average placement and good infrastructure.

Infrastructure: Earlier, the infrastructure was not good at all. But now they have built new washrooms and a new academic block. So, the infrastructure of the college is improving. We do not have a hostel in the college, so students from outside live in flats or PGs. The quality of food in the canteen is average. Sports facilities are good.

Really good infrastructure and facilities.

Infrastructure: Many facilities are provided by the college, such as Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and a library. Labs are fully equipped. The college has a 2-floor library, which is perfect for studying. A medical room is also available for any medical emergency. Access is for everyone. The canteen is also pretty good.

Good faculty, improving infrastructure, great crowd, and value for money.

Infrastructure: Students have to get seats from other classes and projectors are not functional in most of the classrooms. However, it's taking a turn now as changes are made, we have got a new air-conditioned building with more seats, an efficient Wi-Fi facility and new washrooms.

Great college and faculty members.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure in the facilities for my department, like Wi-Fi is very advanced technology, and the lab is so modern. The classrooms are very digital, and the library is an e-library, which means an electronic library that has all of the facilities of online book reading and very advanced computers for sharp reading and studies.

Infrastructure: We have designed classes for our course, and labs are also there. Our college doesn't offer hostel facilities. The canteen food is also quite average, according to me. However, the sitting area is limited. We have a library which can be easily accessed through our library card. Medical facility is also available.

Best women's college in DU for commerce after LSR.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is top-notch, considering the infrastructure of KNC and Gargi. Gargi has the best infrastructure, with a lab for Science subjects and a huge library. However, the library space is small, it is always filled with people, and there is a single copy of the book, so students prefer buying them.
