I do not want to rate or give any rating to this college.

Infrastructure: There are average classrooms, and they could be better. The library is good, but Wi-Fi is not accessible in some areas, although it is available in the library. Hostels are okay, but for the last year, the mess has not been working. Students have to manage their own food, which is not a good thing.

The Shimla campus of Himachal Pradesh University.

Infrastructure: Although it is a government campus, the size of the campus is smaller than that of the other private engineering colleges. The campus provides Wi-Fi but at a basic speed. The labs are okay but the maintenance is very low. The classrooms are generic. The library is useful it is open most of the time. The hostel affordability is quite a problem because there are limited seats in hostels.

Review of UIT Shimla from a student.

Infrastructure: The college has a single building with all the branches and very little lab equipment. The classrooms are average, and the HPU library is a national-level library, which is a positive point. There is no hostel and nearly no campus other than HPU. The food quality in Shimla is worst. I do not understand why there is no good food available there.

Review for Bachelor's of Vocational Studies in Hospitality and Tourism Management.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good but it could be better and the campus is very small and even the auditorium does not accommodate all the students in any special event. As a B.Voc student I notice that there is no such practical lab where you can learn practically and going to a hotel as a trainee who doesn't even have any idea about how to do things practically.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are available in our course or department. We have good Wi-Fi and a good AI/ML lab. Classrooms are good. Our department also has libraries. The hostel quality is perfect. They have clean toilets, a clean hostel and mess also. The quality of the hostel is perfect. The food is also good. Medical facilities are not perfect.

Great campus and infrastructure, but bad transport facilities and weak placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite amazing, with almost all the necessary equipment and is very comfortable for me. Classrooms can be upgraded a little bit for better teaching and learning, but they are good as they are. About Wi-Fi, library, and labs - I have no complaints. All these are easily accessible and are mostly well-maintained. The mess isn't really that good, as we very rarely get 'Tasty' food. I was actually once hospitalized after a ' special dinner' they made on an occasion. Medical facil...

Absolutely dissatisfied with hostels. College is good.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure has been upgraded now. About the hostel, it's the worst of the worst. The food quality was so bad. I didn't use to eat food and ate only outside food, and got appendicitis. Warden was a very based person. The infrastructure was also very bad. The library was also there to study.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of the faculty, no placement, worst infrastructure, facilities, etc.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure provided by the university are none. It's an old building with minimal facilities. There is no ground, no sports culture and other facilities. The quality of the college is worse. There are no other events conducted by the college nor any indulgence.

It is good for placements. I am satisfied with it.

Infrastructure: There are many types of facilities, and every facility is good. Classrooms are big. The quality of food served in hostels is good. There is a small dispensary on the campus. There is no noise pollution in the hostel. It is far from the city and close to nature, so there is no noise and students can study easily.
