I am very much satisfied because of the college infrastructure and facilities.

Infrastructure: Good course, and the hostel is also good. The hostel provides all necessities which are required by the students, like hot water, separate rooms, and activities like a gym, a library, a canteen, and labs. The quality of the hostel is very good, and even the mess food is good.

Best college for studying, cleaning, and organizing fests.

Infrastructure: Best in cleanliness and infrastructure is also good. Food quality is also good, and it maintains hygiene while cooking. Tight security for entering the hostel and the canteen provided a wide variety of food for the students, and the prices of the food are also pocket friendly.

S.D. College life in Chandigarh, good faculty and superb crowd.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is really pleasing, however, in rainy season, a lot of water stores up in the garden area. Our block benches were a bit old, but most classes were held in commerce block! Wi-Fi was given in library. The canteen food was nice, however, limited options were there.

PU Campus - My college my pride, I am giving this title as it gives me pleasure to say this thing.

Infrastructure: At Panjab University (main campus), the infrastructure is totally fabulous. There are different departments for different courses. All the departments are well-maintained, making students feel comfortable and homely. There are even separate libraries in each department. As well as common library named A. C. Joshi where students can sit as much long as they want. Labs are properly functioning, making students to carry out their activities or tasks smoothly.

It is value for money. College life is a golden time of your life so choose wisely.

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.

Goswami Ganesh Dutt Sanatan Dharma College is a good college.

Infrastructure: The college is no doubt small in terms of area and non-AC classes, but it has a furnished library and has Wi-Fi on campus. The college has 3 canteens, there exists a sports department, but no proper sports grounds on the campus. The hostel is worth the money, with all facilities and the best part of the college.

Great infrastructure and supportive faculty members with good placements.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are good. They encourage students to play, communicate, and talk with other people as well. The mess is also good where variety of food is given to students. We have a library in college which has many books and a seating area. Wi-Fi is a bit of a problem here.

My college is one of the best colleges in Chandigarh. I like my college very much, also facilities.

Infrastructure: Facilities are good. The infrastructure is old compared to other colleges. Facilities in the hostel are good, but the food is bad. Everything else is good. In medical emergencies, help arrives late every time. Many games are available in the hostel like basketball and cricket.

Truth about PGGC11 and its reality.

Infrastructure: Overall, the infrastructure is big but not well managed. The quality of classrooms, washrooms, and the auditorium is very bad. There is an urgent need for upgrades in infrastructure. There is no network in the college, no Wi-Fi. Many places don't even support mobile data.

SD College is a good Co-ed college. You can think of taking admission in this college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of SD College is excellent. The IT building is fully AC centralized, and the library is also amazing. The food available in the mess and canteen is also good. In SD college, a lot of students are interested in sports, so those students who are interested in sports and want to make a career out of it can apply to SD college.

Dissatisfied by the infrastructure, but teachers are good enough.

Infrastructure: The classes and washrooms are in an absolutely worse condition than ever. There is barely anything in the name of good infrastructure for facilities. The hostels are in very good condition. If only the classes were as good as the hostels. There is a lot of space for improvement in the overall infrastructure of the college.
