Many people wish to join this college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure gives a good feel of an architecture college that you'll enjoy. Good classrooms, but the first and second years don't have AC. After that, you'll get an AC studio. Wi-Fi is there, but don't rely on it. The hostel and canteen are good and very affordable. For college, you'll have to pay a semester fee. You have to pay Rs. 9000 per semester and Rs. 3000 or so examination fees. But count this too, the stationery costs 2-3 thousand or a maximum of 5 thousand for a semester. So you...

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty, and good placements in the last few years.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is good in the diploma wing. The labs are clear, and the equipment is good with well-instructed teachers. Classrooms are clear, and rooms are being cleared after 2-3 days. There is also a library with all the semester books.

A very nice college, teachers are also well educated and of a kind nature.

Infrastructure: Our college has more than two Wi-Fi. Classrooms are near and clean. Good Infrastructure. The college library has a huge variety of books and is also very digitalised, and books can be issued and reissued on computers. On that we can check the book name and find the place or almirah number where that book is kept. Overall, the food in the canteen is also good and fresh.

Worth experiencing, but not great if you want a college that provides placement opportunities.

Infrastructure: Since the college is public, there is no good infrastructure, but the feel is nominal and college life is amazing. You get to experience a good crowd and have other opportunities. No air conditioning, no smart board everything is old school type but the canteen, mess, hostel, and games are all good.

Not the best exposure but is decent.

Infrastructure: The computers in the labs do not work. Hardly 2 out of every 10 computers are functional. The hostel rooms are good but the bathroom, sanitary, and food facilities are the worst. The sports facilities are only for cricket. Facilities for other sports are negligible.

Infrastructure: Labs were the best. We got every questionnaire with manuals and apparatus (even the Rorschach inkblot test). Psychology depth. Class was also very well maintained. ACs were working. The hostel was the best. I was in hostel 1, the food was good (2 sabjis, raita in the afternoon, milk every morning, and all).

Supportive teachers, effective study environment.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available on the entire campus. The library is available with a quiet environment, but the books available in the library are very old. Classrooms are spacious and airy. The canteen has quality food and a neat and clean area for sitting. There is a big playground for sports activities.

Faculty is good, teachers do their work passionately, and the infrastructure is not so good.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure includes labs, which are fully air-conditioned and have very comfortable sitting areas. The library is very good, it is very quiet despite all the crowd in the library. Classrooms are nice but not very good. Each classroom has projectors. The hostel facility is good, but having six roommates is not good at all. The mess food is not very good. Medical facilities are very nice.

My experience was quite good. The infrastructure was good. I recommend it to other students as well.

Infrastructure: The library was really very good. One can find a lot of books to learn from there. Hostels were good, and the food quality was great. Emergency medical facilities were also available. I always wanted a good library with a lot of books based on literature and modern writing as well. I got it all there, that's why I liked the library very much.

Absolutely would recommend anyone interested in college. It is one of a kind experience.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was decent and manageable for academic endeavors. Wi-Fi was available all throughout the campus, although the speed of it was very disappointing and sometimes didn't work at all. All the classrooms were well-ventilated, and the library was the best part of the experience.

Please don't consider this.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are just natural saunas. Just walk 5 minutes you’ll complete the campus tour. The labs and library are decent. Sports facilities are barely accessible. Never saw a medical facility here, so don’t know. Hostels are really small but decent. Don’t get food from that canteen.
