The college and students are too good. The environment of the college is positive.

Infrastructure: There are 3 computer labs in the college. It provides a good network connection. The mess in the hostel is okay. The canteen provides food at an affordable price. It has Nescafé, Verka, and juice corners in the college for students and teachers. There are sports rooms with different games.

My college feels average to me.

Infrastructure: As I am studying B.Sc. Chemistry, we need labs, which are only about 50% okay, with limited equipment. Wi-Fi is available only on the ground floor. The classrooms are spacious, but the library is poor, as it is usually closed even though it is a single room. Food availability is good. Currently, there is no hostel facility, and medical facilities are poor. Sports and games are also not very engaged in our college.

It has excellent campus infrastructure, but poor placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is undoubtedly the strongest aspect of the college. There is a well stocked library with Wi-Fi. The reading room is great for self-study. The canteen food is quite decent but not so good. Students also get medical and sports facilities to use.

Good facility and infrastructure, but quite a complex culture.

Infrastructure: Good facility, but girls' hostel and boys' hostel still are very misogynistic, but at least there are non-sharing rooms plus the area of hostel is posh, so no harassment, but ragging of hostels is still tolerated by students of 1st year without the warden knowing.

You can enjoy your college life because of the crowd, but the course is not that good.

Infrastructure: In our hostels, basically PU hostel are very bad, you cannot live there. Wi-Fi speed is okay, but it is not frequently working. Food is also not that good, it's very average in the mess and in the canteen as well. Sports are very good, there are many facilities available for sports persons. Department teachers are well-know of teaching of the subject and labs are pretty decent.

Infrastructure: The library is good, and grounds are good. In classrooms, there is no air-conditioning and not very good ventilation, so it is not good in summer. Overall, it is fine. The canteen is very bad. Other things are good. The liberty is good, and students are also fine here.

Faculty members have a bad attitude.

Infrastructure: Labs are good, but many pieces of equipment are not working and have been in that condition for many years. No one takes responsibility for fixing them. The hostels are good, but it is difficult to get accommodation if your merit is low or if you are not involved in campus activities or politics.

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.
