Overall good and value for money.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college was a bit old school, but it was built a long time ago. The library had good resources. The hostel was okayish, food was mid to below average. Washrooms were a bit lacking, and hygiene was not very common. The canteen was okayish, and the price for food was not very much.

Good college for my course. The faculty is very generous and helpful. The infrastructure is amazing.

Infrastructure: The facilities were very good. The students here had access to both libraries and labs whenever they wanted to, and also both of them were open after the college for about 3 to 4 hours till the university shut down. The quality of food is the thing for which I have deducted 2 stars, but both medical and sports facilities were very good, and also there were annual sports tournaments, and we have a gymnasium too in university.
