Review of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University.

Infrastructure: The hostel facilities and infrastructure are satisfactory but not that good. The college provides a Wi-Fi facility but sometimes it is down. There is no power backup. If the electricity connection gets down then students have to live without light, fan, Wi-Fi, etc. The hostels do not have power backup. Classrooms are good. The library is also good. There are a good amount of books. The food quality in the hostel mess is very poor. If students cannot compromise with food quality, then this colleg...

In summary, I can say that our college is not as good as IITs but still a good choice for students.

Infrastructure: There are good facilities and infrastructure in our labs and classrooms, all the appliances are as good as new. Books availability is also good enough in library. Hostel is good but bathroom conditions are so bad. Rooms are clean and we get one single bed with one table and chair along with an almirah.

Satisfied with all facilities, but the hostel infrastructure is not good. Overall, good.

Infrastructure: In the university, the civil branch has a combined department with architecture, where they provide three classrooms for civil students and some labs. The university also has a one central library and a gym. In the hostel, the university provides all basic necessities, but the only reason they lack is cleanliness, as hostels are not up to that level. The food provided is not good. But the overall experience is good.

Really good infrastructure but please don't go here if you have no other option.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the university is very beautiful and peaceful. Lush greenery everywhere but there are a ton of monkeys who attack you if they see bags in your hand so it's risky. Hostels are not that good as well. At least in girls hostel, there are always a ton of monkeys that make our lives difficult.

An honest and unbiased review of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the campus is quite good. The hostel is also very nice. Rooms are very neat and look more like hotel rooms. The infrastructure of our washrooms is even worse than railway toilets. There is Wi-Fi everywhere. There is a library inside the hostel. You can play badminton. We have a very large ground on our campus where you can play any sport.

The food is typical and occasionally quite bad. The mess committees are extremely irresponsible and idle. The girls' hostel mess, the Central mess, and the Vindhyachal hostel mess provide the best among all the University's mess. The mess in the Basohli hostel is the worst.
