Average Infrastructure, and faculty, not great ROI.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are decent, Wi-Fi works but can be slow, and the library is very good with lots of study space. Hostel facilities are okay, mess food is average, canteen is better. Basic medical help and sports facilities are available. Hostel rooms are okay and manageable, mess food is average (some days better than others), and the canteen is more popular than the mess.

Absolutely good. To be honest, I consider this college as the best decision of my life.

Infrastructure: All the facilities and infrastructure are upgraded and provide the best output to each and every student, be it Wi-Fi for classes, labs for experiments, or classrooms to study. Food is moderate, to be honest, because it is prepared in large bulk, but it’s more than sufficient for the need. Medical facilities are also average; there are huge numbers of people in college, so facilities are there, but it’s not up to the mark. Sports and games are very good.

College life through my lens.

Infrastructure: Computer labs and good classrooms are available for commerce classes, but the cons are that some equipment is outdated and doesn't work properly. There is no hostel facility in DSC. Canteen food is really good and affordable for the students. Sports like football, cricket, basketball, and badminton are also available.

A college that allows you to grow.

Infrastructure: The college has proper labs, whiteboards for digital education and demonstration, a smooth-running department, and an accessible library. Canteen food is good, hygienic, and affordable. Other than that, there are Amul and Nescafé on campus. Medical room availability, clean washrooms, ample space for extracurricular activities, a big field at the back for sports-related activities, and a gym on campus too. Beautiful hostel from what I have heard from friends who live there.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of everything in 2026.

Infrastructure: There are a few classes in which the infrastructure is really good, known as smart classrooms, but the majority of the classrooms are in a very bad state. The fans don't really work. Electricians try to fix them, but the classroom infrastructure paint is really old.

I am neutral about faculty but good placement. Infrastructure is okay but not satisfactory.

Infrastructure: Not good infrastructure. There are very few facilities like modernized classrooms of today’s time. Many classes are supposed to have projector setup, but there is no projector at all. Sports ground is good, and the library is also very good, with many books based on various subjects.
