Infrastructure Reviews
Infrastructure: In our department, the infrastructure was great and we had labs, Wi-Fi facilities, a smart classroom, a smart lab, a library, a computer lab, etc. They provided good facilities, and the infrastructure was good and comfortable. The hostel had all the facilities and the food quality was great. They had a hospital built inside the campus for medical facilities, and they also had a sports and games club.
Infrastructure: All facilities were good, with Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and a library. There were different types of food available. Sports and games facilities were also available. The hostel facilities, the quality of food in the mess and canteen, medical facilities, and sports and games were good.
Infrastructure: VIT Vellore has world-class infrastructure; not even a single negative point can be marked. Hostels are awesome and washrooms are cleaned twice to thrice a day. Housekeeping staff are available 24/7 you can call whenever you want. They come daily for room cleaning and if the room is locked they come again in the next shift. Food is manageable like a lot of variety is served, keeping in mind the students from different places. We have one whole classy building as the library.
Infrastructure: The hostel is great. The only thing you need is good friends. The course infrastructure is top-notch. Everything is up to date with modern world standards. The hostel mess is good, and you can choose from different mess options according to your liking. Labs are state-of-the-art and no less than industry standards.
Infrastructure: We won't get good internet around colleges. Some labs are good, like the Physics lab, but others need better maintenance. Like, a 20 percent lab system will not work properly. The library is one of the best libraries, and all kinds of books are available. The infrastructure of the classroom is also good.
Infrastructure: No doubt about the infrastructure, it is 5-star here. So VIT provides good Wi-Fi connections, labs for respective subjects, classrooms and a library, which are so good. Coming to hostel facilities, the hostel is awesome with care. The food served here is good and hygienic. Actually, we have many caterers who take care of the mess. We have 24/7 medical facilities here. We have a big outdoor stadium equipped for the college to play cricket, football and other sports like Volleyball, Tennis, and Ba...
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is so good that you cannot even download a PDF, as the classrooms are hot and burning people every day in the summer. Only a few fans are available. Labs are good, but the real deal is to manage the food and bulking up because the quality is good and the quantity is bad, and it’s the inverse in the other mess.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of hostels is excellent. It offers the best hostel, medium food, and good Wi-Fi. Gaming is not that easy with Wi-Fi, but it gets the job done. There are many games like table tennis, badminton, swimming, football, cricket, squash, and volleyball.
Infrastructure: Facilities and the infrastructure of my campus are very good, but the Wi-Fi is kind of slow, which is quite an issue, rest of it is also fine. The hostel facilities are good, but the mess can be an issue for students who are living in the hostels.
Infrastructure: Courses are isolated from one another, even with their academic blocks, but students are united by the hostel accommodation and events like fests and cultural events, which are organised once a year. Interests in sports and other activities other than studies are not supported.
Infrastructure: All labs have AC, and most hostels have AC too. Getting an AC hostel is purely based on CGPA. The library is a three-floor building with all kinds of academic resources. Classrooms are nice and comfy. It is big enough to accommodate at least 70-75 students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good. They provide everything but it is very crowded. You have to compete for everything. The classes and labs are good. About the hostel, food is average, the hostel is good, and the sports facilities in the hostel are also good.
Infrastructure: College classrooms are very nice, properly clean, lit, and sound. Every facility is top-notch. Hostels are the same, everything from beds, cupboards, food, mess, and amenities is very good. The library is one of the best in the country. The college puts a lot of effort into maintaining its standard yearly.
Infrastructure: The library is the top notch. Night library till 1 for students, and almost all books are available. Classrooms are decent with all smart facilities. Labs are pretty good with almost all labs with high-end machines. Hostels are pretty good if you take AC. Non-AC rooms are dorms, literally.
