My college and my journey to entrepreneurship.

Infrastructure: The college has a very large campus. It includes the library, an international playground named after the college, a dedicated computer room, the hospital, and the canteen. Everything is available inside the campus, from medicine to food. The food quality in the canteen is good. Sometimes the hostel food is bad, but most of the time the food is good.

B.Voc Software Development – Sri Sharda Review.

Infrastructure: I never stayed in the hostel, as I lived in an apartment and traveled to college. My friends said the hostel was clean and good, with around 7–10 rooms. Wi-Fi was normal, but not too good. The library was normal and good. Medical facilities were limited. There was a sports day, but not many sports facilities. Overall, the college had a 40 percent school-like feeling.

Absolutely dissatisfied with my college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure only looks good in pictures. They do not have working ACs that function properly for students, especially in the BCA and B.Com departments. There are no smart boards or well-maintained grounds and sports facilities for students. It feels like they only focus on taking money and forget about the students.

Review of University of Lucknow.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is bad. The seats are broken and are 6 inches wide. It's not comfortable to sit, you can't even put your copy straight on the table. The buildings are old, it's a good place to watch the old buildings.

Review of Lucknow University for B.Tech CSE.

Infrastructure: The only thing I like is my library other than this I don't like anything about my college. We have been in the same classroom for 2 years, and there is no smart board facility provided for us, and no AC in our class. You have lots of extra time because classes are not mandatory to attend, as no action is taken for being absent but it affects you if you are a scholarship student.

If your main goal is other competitive exams, then go for it.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very old, renovation is to be done. The library is very old and the books there are yellowish because many of the books were brought there 50 years ago. There are no hostel facilities provided by the college. There is no canteen also. A playground is there but no equipment is there to play any sport.

My college is a blessing in disguise.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was a little bit old, like the British era. The college canteen was good. The medical facilities were a little bit slow in progress. Sports and games were also top-notch. We played many games there, like hockey, cricket, and many other sports activities.

It is a good experience because it is quite affordable. It gives you better opportunities to excel.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is quite impressive. There are separate college and hospital buildings. Classrooms are spacious and airy. They have metallic chairs, fans, and blackboards. We also have a smart class over there with a digital board. Labs are well organised. If we talk about the anatomy lab, then we have a proper bone set over there for study purposes. Hostels are good. But for boys, it is not available in the first prof. For girls, they get into the hostel easily just after admission.
