There is pressure for classes and semesters, but hostel management and campus environment are good.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are good, well-maintained, and clean. There are different libraries for different bhavans and a central library that is also well maintained. Here, all students get free medical facilities. Hostels (some restrictions for girls, but no restrictions for boys), labs, and canteens (cheap & healthy food provided) are also good.

Good faculty and infrastructure.

Infrastructure: The entire university campus has free Wi-Fi facilities. Talking about the library, many departments have their own libraries, and apart from that, there is a central library where we can easily access lac of books. The seating arrangements are also quite good. Viva-Bharati has around 30 hostels in total. The hostel facilities are average. Some hostels are in very good condition.

Overall, best university for M.Sc. in botany course.

Infrastructure: Facilities at our college were quite excellent. Every branch consisted of blocks, and each block included either lift 1 or 2. We additionally maintain distinct areas for sports, library, and canteen. College campus lacks hotels, but there were 3 hotel locations within 5 KM. I prefer staying at private hotels since they offer larger and higher quality rooms.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my course are free Wi-Fi, a library, and classrooms. The quality and the facilities of my hostel are below average. The quality of food available in the mess is not very good for health. The university has Person Memorial Hospital.

There are a huge number of books and other facilities such as an air-conditioned reading room and a journal section with fast-speed free Wi-Fi.

Shade of history department of Viva Bharati.

Infrastructure: There is free Wi-Fi throughout the campus. The university has a library and air conditioners. Classrooms are quite good with ACs and smart rooms. The university provides one of the cheapest hostels in the overall India. There is a PM Hospital for free medical care for students. Every department has a canteen. But not too good.

It has an average study, a beautiful environment, and the best culture.

Infrastructure: It has good infrastructure. The road is very fine and strong. It has one of the biggest and oldest libraries in India, where the Rabindranath Tagore book is placed. It comes under the World Heritage Site. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus area. Some classrooms are old, and some are newly designed, which is very good. The canteen provides good quality food at a low price. Regular sports activities happen here. Labs are also available.

The college has good faculty members, facilities, and infrastructure.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good but there are some problems with medical facilities and of course, due to regional variations. The food culture of students doesn't match with this place. Overall it's good to be here. There is a problem with canteen management become students have still faced a lot of problems with that. The food quality is also very poor.

Infrastructure: Facilities are good. They provide Wi-Fi, a hospital, a library, computer labs, etc. The quality of food is not up to the mark. Medical facilities are good. They are very much focused on sports. There is a separate department for sports. They organise inter-department games also.

In Visva Bharati, Cheena Bhavana, Kala Bhavana, and agriculture department are the best.

Infrastructure: Hostels are not at all good. But the vibe is good. We have friends and have fun. There are total 14 boys hostels and 10 girls hostels. Hostels have bed, table, etc. But all the hostels have big playgrounds. But the hostel for girls is too strict about the timing and staying.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure facility is very good. There is 24/7 Wi-Fi available for students in their hostel. There are many libraries. The philosophy department has its library whereas there is a central library too with high-speed internet. Classrooms are very good. There is a hospital too for the students and people around.
