Review of University of Lucknow.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is bad. The seats are broken and are 6 inches wide. It's not comfortable to sit, you can't even put your copy straight on the table. The buildings are old, it's a good place to watch the old buildings.

Review of Lucknow University for B.Tech CSE.

Infrastructure: The only thing I like is my library other than this I don't like anything about my college. We have been in the same classroom for 2 years, and there is no smart board facility provided for us, and no AC in our class. You have lots of extra time because classes are not mandatory to attend, as no action is taken for being absent but it affects you if you are a scholarship student.

If your main goal is other competitive exams, then go for it.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very old, renovation is to be done. The library is very old and the books there are yellowish because many of the books were brought there 50 years ago. There are no hostel facilities provided by the college. There is no canteen also. A playground is there but no equipment is there to play any sport.

My college is a blessing in disguise.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was a little bit old, like the British era. The college canteen was good. The medical facilities were a little bit slow in progress. Sports and games were also top-notch. We played many games there, like hockey, cricket, and many other sports activities.

It is a good experience because it is quite affordable. It gives you better opportunities to excel.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is quite impressive. There are separate college and hospital buildings. Classrooms are spacious and airy. They have metallic chairs, fans, and blackboards. We also have a smart class over there with a digital board. Labs are well organised. If we talk about the anatomy lab, then we have a proper bone set over there for study purposes. Hostels are good. But for boys, it is not available in the first prof. For girls, they get into the hostel easily just after admission.
