The best college if you want to enjoy your college life; it's well-diversified.

Infrastructure: When we talk about the facilities on the campus, to be honest, we don’t even have proper classrooms and our building is so weak that we don’t even know when it will collapse. There are no proper drinking water facilities and we don’t have a strong Wi-Fi connection, not even good teaching boards and no good projectors for projecting digital works. But the only good thing on campus is the Nescafe and the canteen from where we can get good food, but still, they impose very high prices on us. There ...

Overall, the best college for Master of Planning in Urban Planning Course.

Infrastructure: SPA was founded in 1941 and is still operating on the same campus. The planning department building was constructed the same year as the construction building a few years later. Labs, libraries, sports facilities, etc., are available in the college. WiFi facilities are provided in hostels. The new campus is being built at Vasant Kunj and should be operational in the next 5-10 years.

Overall best University for Master of Planning in Housing Course.

Infrastructure: The amenities offered by the university are passably good; however, the sports and medical facilities in the dorms are inadequate for a nationally significant institution. The academic buildings are roughly 12 to 15 kilometers away from the dormitory facilities. Course facilities, including studios, workshops, and classrooms, are modern. The earliest records in the library's collection date from 1950.
