    College Infrastructure

    The campus is nice and clean. There are plenty of study areas, well-equipped labs, and dedicated spaces for sports and recreation, making it a balanced space for academics and extracurricular activities. Although the wifi is bad in a lot of places.

    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure is well set up and maintained. The management does a good job at taking feedback from students about the facilities and takes appropriate measures when necessary. The classrooms are smart board enabled and the internet connectivity is good too. Food tastes average but it is clean.

    Interesting ongoing journey at CMI
