Both girls and boys can develop bad habits.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure was not so special. All facilities would be available with detailed information. Do not eat food in the mess at night as they would charge extra for calcium powder in price to not eat much. Canteen and other necessary good and quality products. Sports and games were quite good.

Infrastructure: I did not stay in the GITAM hostel. One of my friends stayed there, and the hostel fees per semester were Rs.55,000. It was a bit costly, but we got various facilities, like three meals of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, Wi-Fi, and electricity all included in the fees. We could also use the hostel gym.

It is not a good college according to the place.

Infrastructure: The hostel was good. There were four people in a room where you got your own bed, wardrobe, table, and chair. The meal quality was good. The library here was very good. A wide range of books was available to study here. Classrooms were highly technological and innovative, with projectors and screens installed. Sports here were at a very wide range so you could participate in which one you needed.

Very good location of the college.

Infrastructure: The institute had a good decent library with both books and digital facilities. Coming to the playground, it was a very well-maintained one but only the hostellers got the better out of the ground. In the hostel rooms, we had bed, table, and a cupboard for overseas. The rooms had 2, 3, 4, and 6 people sharing. The quality of the food was very nice, there will be both veg and non-veg. At few festivals, they provided special food. The hostel price was bit high but it was worth it.
