We all know UPes has good infrastructure and no need to improve on-campus greenery, but the college needs to improve on infrastructure in our buildings. Some areas need to be made modern, and some equipment needs to be replaced.
Every needed facility is available on campus and college hostel. Free wifi is available in campus which has good speed. All classrooms are well-equipped and quality of food provided in hostels is also satisfactory. There is a really good collection of books in the library.
The labs are well-equipped, and the WIFI is quite good. The classrooms have smart-boards. The most promising thing in college is it's library, as it has many books.
