The research scope is great here.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is top-notch, and we will get free Wi-Fi at every building with high-speed. Classrooms are also quite good with projectors. The library offers approximately 20,000 books 24x7. In hostels, rooms are average with good cleaning services. It also offers quite healthy and tasty food.

If you're planning to come here for studying M.A. Economics, please don't.

Infrastructure: The Infrastructure is very poorly planned and designed. Apart from old and depressing architecture, the locations of different buildings are also not well thought out. Some of the hostels are in the north campus and some are in the south, which are 3-4 km apart. Some departments are in the middle, some are in the east campus (3 km from the north campus), and some are in the south. There aren't enough buses to carry all the students to their respective classes. But, the library is in the middle, ...

Satisfied as they are very affordable, large campus area, and have a lot of greenery.

Infrastructure: Hostel infrastructure is up to the mark especially in south campus whereas it is not as much good in north as they all are so old. South campus hostels are well-equipped with geyser, RO, water cooler, and Wi-Fi both LAN and outer near to rooms. We need not worry about the classrooms as they are best in infrastructure wise with the modern equipment. Labs are also well maintained. Hostels need a little bit of maintenance but academic buildings are well maintained.

Infrastructure: The hostel is good but not too clean, with corridors full of dogs but not much charm. Labs are good except when it comes to computer labs. There are study rooms, reading rooms, and libraries open 24/7 except on some major holidays. Okay canteen, faculty members, and good medical facilities. Not much support in sports and games.
