Review of Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of this college is in an old style. Classrooms are decent, but automation is not very developed in the college. Labs are good. Hostels have limited facilities. Electricity and water issues are common. The mess is not very good, but the food is acceptable with some variety.

Infrastructure: There are water problems sometimes but other facilities are good. Labs have air-conditioners, and there is nearly all the equipment needed for B.Tech level. For my course there is a separate building. Also taking part in other activities is motivated. Many students have won medals in various sports.

Best for value with scholarship, it's best for core branches.

Infrastructure: Overall, the college has Wi-Fi facilities even in hostels, well-furnished classrooms, and infrastructure. They have two libraries, one in the college and the other in the main university department. I have a little doubt about the hostel facility it's okay, not so good, but I can manage. The quality of food is variable, but still okay. Overall, it's on average. Infrastructure is average.

An average college with an average fee structure.

Infrastructure: The room, classroom, and library are there. Food quality is low, sports are best (polo ground), medical is none, and games are best for volleyball. College has hostels, but in very poor conditions. No Wi-Fi, no access to the internet also network area is also low, like lost in the college. Not a good practice sometimes gives off the whole half day sometime whole day. I don't know what is happening in this organisation.

College is very old and well-reputed.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is a little bit old since our college was established in 1947, so there are no sudden big changes in the main building. Hostels are also average, not much developed, and high-tech. Wi-Fi is available 24/7. You can have problems when the power gets cut. To be honest, every mess feels boring after several days of eating. Mess food is average. We have badminton, volleyball, a tennis court, and a football and cricket ground, as well as the gym.
