Absolutely satisfied with college.

Infrastructure: Hostels have their own personal washrooms and its double sharing. There is no issue with electricity or water. It also has its own single beds. You can opt for a single room, but the fee doubles, you can also get a table, chair, and an almirah set for yourself from the college.

Attendance is the only good thing here.

Infrastructure: Our college has poor infrastructure. There is no hostel facility despite being under HPU. The whole college is just one building with no campus. Labs and classrooms feel outdated, and facilities lag behind modern standards. However, I can say things are improving. The scenic location is a plus point, though.

Decent course content but no placements, good faculty, and limited campus activities.

Infrastructure: The classroom condition is good in the science block. Labs are also in good condition. Wi-Fi is available on campus, but it's not working well. The canteen is also good, having cheap prices for food and serving good-quality food. The condition of the toilets is not good at this time.
