Good campus and college life, but placement rates are not that good.

Infrastructure: The average infrastructure is not too good. Some classrooms are so good, but some classes are the worst. The benches in some classes are good, but in some classes they're not. The canteen is good with decent food prices. The sports ground is too big, and there is a cricket ground in the college.

I am satisfied because the infrastructure is good, and campus life at SD College is also good.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the course and hostels is very good at SD College. All the labs are fully AC centralised, even the classrooms too, and the food available in the mess and canteens of both hostels (boys and girls) is good. Medical facilities are also provided if any disease occurs to a student.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty and infrastructure not satisfied with placement opportunities.

Infrastructure: There is Wi-Fi in whole chemistry department but it works very slowly. When it comes to AC B.Sc. labs have no air conditioning but all classes are air conditioned. Some of the M.Sc. labs are also air conditioned. The department library is very good. Most of the books related to Chemistry research are available there and it is also air conditioned. Timing is 9 to 5.

Altogether a good option for a Tier-2/3 college in the growing phase.

Infrastructure: Hostels are limited, and most of the students rent out flats or PG. The campus is lush green, and sporting facilities are available. Classrooms are big, and Wi-Fi is available 24/7 in hostels and colleges. Labs are fully air-conditioned and carry out DST-funded research and innovation. The library is also well maintained with a sufficient no of books, journals, and papers.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good but some problems are there. Some classrooms leak while training but overall it's good greenery everywhere. Library provide you competition books, PYQ's, and also your course related study material. Mess and canteen also provide you tasty food.
