Honest review of the Post Graduate Government College, Sector 11.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is not well maintained. Girls' washrooms are hygienic whereas boys' washrooms are not hygienic. There are spacious and fully AC girls' common rooms and a boys' common room for students. There are so many sitting areas on the college campus.

A brief of Dr. Harvansh Singh Judges Institute of Dental Science.

Infrastructure: The hygiene maintenance is quite poor. In the hospital, washrooms are not repaired or regularly cleaned. Food available is quite average. The hostel is well-maintained and quite impressive. The college gives very little importance to extracurricular activities as there is no such dedicated space.

Absolutely satisfied with faculty, good behavior of teachers, and enough competition.

Infrastructure: The department provides Wi-Fi, labs, vintage classrooms, and cozy classrooms with fully ventilated and airy rooms. The view of the student centre is also very clear from the classrooms. It makes the classroom experience more realistic and helps us explore mathematics more intellectually. There is also a library facility for mathematics department students, which helps many students during exam time.

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.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is pretty good. The department is situated on university campus in the heart of Chandigarh, so all facilities are easily available. The hostels are quite good. The food is good, and they are flexible as they cook whatever you like. Classrooms, Wi-Fi, and library facilities are also good.
