Driving with the growth of NEP.

Infrastructure: Some of the classrooms have broken fans and benches, but the hostels are comparatively good. One thing to keep in mind is that the rooms fit 2 people, so keep that in mind. Each room has a fan, a window, switches and 2 beds. There is also a study table in each room, so that's really nice. The accommodation is really nice.

The best college, we enjoy studying a lot.

Infrastructure: The quality of food in the canteen is good and very tasty. But the variety is sometimes limited. Classrooms are well-painted and have good infrastructure. The library has a huge number of books. So there is no need to buy books from outside. The college provides many facilities for sports.

Faculty is good, but the placement level is not that strong.

Infrastructure: Labs are air-conditioned. The infrastructure is not really good. Classrooms do not have modern boards, and maintenance is low. Hostels are reasonable but have restrictions. Sports and games events are regularly organized. A swimming pool is also available for students.

It's totally not perfect, but it is very good.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are good. They are well maintained. I give it 4 because of the cost, it's not as much for middle-class people, it's very huge. It's affordable for the above middle class. An AC facility is also there. Rules and regulations are also strict, and food quality is good, so it's fine. Students come from Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and other states. So you can interact with very different people.

The faculty is good, but the university doesn't value the department.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are okay, 1 equipped with air conditioning. Library facilities are available along with books. Hostels are okay again, but the food is good eatable, mostly all things are provided in the rooms, which are necessary. The campus is good in terms of greenery and calmness, but outsiders have recently destroyed the campus culture.

Waste of money if you are looking for a placement. 

Infrastructure: No hostel is offered in college, and the parking space is also poor. College infrastructure is average, and the indoor washrooms are clean, but the outer ones are sometimes dirty, and some students also smoke in the outer washrooms. There is no canteen, and only one van comes to college with limited food options.
