Infrastructure: The infrastructure is nice. The department looks beautiful compared to the rest of the departments in Lucknow University. Wi-Fi is available, and there is also a simulation lab with AC too. The classrooms have a projector, and the department also has its own hall, which is named Chanakya Hall.
