    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure is not nice here bulidings are too small ,it's India's top University - national law University so I didn't expect this type of infrastructure from this type of national Universities. Classrooms are to old fashioned and small lack of playgrounds and no big halls or auditorium.

    For me my collage life is nice.

    The infrastructure of the college is not that good .some classrooms need proper maintenance and better cleanliness.the furniture is old and sometimes uncomfortable to sit on for long hours. And also lack of playground.
