Placements are low for ECE, mechanical, and civil. Only CSE has good opportunities.

Infrastructure: The hostel is not good, and the electronics department is very far outside the university campus. Students face many issues because the hostel is not near the electronic building, and the university bus service is very bad. Even though the building is on the university campus.

Review of Guru Nanak Dev University.

Infrastructure: Okay, so the infrastructure is good but can be maintained better. The library is amazing, as is the overall building and the aesthetics of the university. If taken care of a lot more, it'll be way better. The food at the mess is okay, but they do have a lot of canteens, so that makes up for it, I guess. Medical facilities are all free and helpful, so that's cool. The grounds, obviously, GNDU has a lot of grounds and courts.

Satisfied so far with the syllabus and course.

Infrastructure: You can access free Wi-Fi anywhere in the university. Well-lit classrooms and labs. There is a large library and some departments have their own libraries too. We have 8 hostels in total including boys and girls. Food in all the messes is very good. We have a health centre in the university where there are no facilities for check-ups and medicine. Separate grounds and courts for every game.

Just do hard work for one more year, qualify for JEE, and get a good college.

Infrastructure: Mid, not very vast, not so small, one ground in which you can play cricket, even sometimes football, one basketball court, and one kabaddi and badminton court, but no coaches, some cafe and garden inside the college too. I think 50 acres. The hostel was good also, the mess food, seriously saying I didn't like.

They conduct less interactive classes, which are so boring.

Infrastructure: Only the exact number of students is admitted to all the courses to lessen the crowd and to improve the performance. Sports and other physical activities are scheduled only once a week. There are certain liberties in hostel premises and other things. We visit the library only during free periods and break hours.

They provide various facilities to students, such as a gym, pool, etc. Many canteens are not so good, and the mess is very poor.
