Short review of WCE Sangli.

Infrastructure: All facilities are available in the college like Wi-Fi but the infrastructure is old. West Maharashtras largest library is in a college. The hostel facility is not available for all students. Semester exams are very strict; in every classroom, 2 to 3 cameras are set up. Mid sem exam continuing 30 marks, internal exams continuing 20 marks, and end sem exam continuing 50 marks. For passing, an overall 40 marks out of 100 are necessary, and in the end sem 20 are necessary.

Not much recommended due to poor placements.

Infrastructure: Average with quite natural diversity and good weather conditions as it is located outside Kolhapur city. You can enjoy Kolhapur city and its attractions more often. The college has good food culture and great festivals. Historically, the site is located near the city, which is an overall good city.

Infrastructure: Most of our college infrastructure is old, continuing from 1987 (established year), but renovations are going on in many departments. The hospital has many facilities that are required. About hostels, the actual condition is very bad, 4 people in a room, and buildings are very old, leakage and bathroom blockage occur on multiple floors. These need renovation.
