Internet is the only way to survive

The reason for joining this college is just because I get stuck with this one is JEE Mains, I may choose a better college on the urge of the branch but still, my branch is Computer Science so I don't have to much think about it. But still what I am right now here is the thing which may be I couldn't be before as I am trying to be better instead of being best in school. Most of us are toppers in their school but now everyone here is just trying to be better and urging for more. So yeah this maybe not the best college you will ever be but still it better to move on instead of taking this one. Just find a better one instead of this one.

Creating future beside mountain.

Infrastructure of the college is most appreciable thing. Faculty here needs to get experience on real life project and software industry .If we talk about faculty of computer science then they are not so good as some of the teacher are still pursuing phd .By the way ,new vice chancellor is changing the college for good.So in next 5 years it may be best college in North India.

Good experience overall

If you talk about the faculty of mechanical engineering in the college then they are good and well experience. Industry exposure is good if we talk about mechanical students. Well established Mechanical workshop is there to help mechanical guys. Only thing college needs to work is on placement as core companies of mechanical rarely visits campus.

Unforgettable four years

College infrastructure is quite good, Students in the college are mainly from Jammu and other nearby areas. College needs to work on their faculty as they lack experience specially school of computer science (other department are ok). Mess and Hostel facilities are good.

College is for training of the mind to think

With great infrastructure there is a peaceful surroundings.The faculty really cares about their students and were always more than willing to help in any way they could.Besides the great academic experience, I also enjoyed the sports and social aspect of this college. There were plenty of ways to get involved, such as collegian sports,different clubs and other activities,and volunteer opportunities. Placements are good well. Hostels are quite good.Diversity is one that recognizes that people with different backgrounds, skills, attitudes and experiences bring fresh ideas and perceptions. The bad thing about college is affordability.

Great surroundings environments

Awesome place for learning. Full of natural beauty, peace and holiness. Fantastic Climate all over year . Best place for education in whole J&K. Will get a lot of opportunities to grow. My college life happening through different activities such as cultural,sports,workshops,seminars and conferences. Hostels are too good. Most people view diversity as a good thing because it gives people the chance to experience different things outside of what they are normally accustomed to. Something is not good with administration.

Supportive seniors but average faculties

People in this university are friendly and helpful, especially for freshmen.Large campus with beautiful natural environment and nice infrastructure make great living experience here.Faculties are not so talented but are helpful.We have great fun with our friends and college life seems to be awesome.Little difficult to afford though, you are the creator or destroyer of your own life here.Placements are just average.

Place to explore myself to fullest

It is situated at goddess Vaishno Devi's stage in Jammu and Kashmir.college infrastructure is very good among other colleges of Jammu and Kashmir. Placement is average for mechanical but other departments have well good. The diversity of the university and community is fantastic.There is so much to do. You have to be an introvert not to enjoy the campus. Hostel and it's maintenance are quit good. Only bad thing about college is fees affordability.

Curiosity to learn but lack of proper guidence

First of all, the price.An undergraduate degree from this university is not worth.You don't get your money's worth.Even faculties are more worst than our school's teachers.This University does not care about its students and there is absolutely no sense of community here.Only good thing about University is Infrastructure which is comparable than any college. Hostels are good at all. I would strongly advise anybody from coming to this joke of an university and to use your money on better things.

The faculty is not so good

Obviously being in Jammu & Kashmir, you fell and see the most wonderful weather and natural views.Ya the gender ration is very good with most beautiful girls. Yes, college campus is beautiful and also "Ragging Free".The Infrastructure is very good. # You got "5 to 6" teachers who is best in their field and rest are below average i.e, the faculty is worst. Yes you will find some students(obviously he/she is your senior ) who just completed their graduation from the very same college and next year they are your faculty(if the faculty is "she", then guess what once you may used to stare her) # College placement is decent, with most students are hired by TCS. # Infrastructure of HOSTEL is nice, but the MESS food is average. # There is every basic things what you need to have in college campus and hostel also. IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY YOUR COLLEGE LIFE THEN IT'S BEST PLACE TO STUDY, YES YOU WILL FIND GREAT VIEWS OF NATURE (including the girls), WHICH YOU WOULD LOVE.

Best in Jammu and Kashmir

Infrastructure of the college is just amazing,college has an auditorium called maatrika which I can say is one of the best auditorium in India.Hostel and Mess Facility is very good.College lack in providing industry exposure to student but the pattern is changing after the appointment of new vice chancellor. The way college is progressing ,it is definitely going to be counted as India's best government college.

SMVDU Life learning and Exploring yourself

It is one of finest college in Jammu and Kashmir for technical studies compared to NIT Srinagar . Well enough infrastructure and a better place to enjoy your life and learn. Placement is well and good compare to rest and faculty is supporting enough to an extent for the students to manage a better future ahead . A good thing about my college is that it has a balanced time table and classes schedule so that student get enough time to do other things and also co-curricular activities .

College life is not so easy without placement

Every one praises the beauty of this university. Encouraging surroundings, different clubs and competitive events made my college life enjoyable. Placements are good for departments such as computer science, electronics but the situation is not so rosy in other departments. With ample amount of electricity and privacy in the hostel, we also get opportunities to expand our networks over different parts of the country due to student's diversity. The only thing that is deficient here is experienced faculties. College fee are also not so easily affordable by Middle class families.

This is where you come when you don't do good at JEE Main

Infrastructure is above par, Better link to Jammu and other cities is needed to make the Corporate come up here for placements etc, Having a pan-India crowd will help make college life more enjoyable and events happening, Almost no placements, if available, they are rare and companies offer bad packages. Hostels are the best thing. Few other institutes have hostels of this quality. Faculty not qualified. If qualified, they are not intellectually bright. Almost no teaching experience. The worst part of this college is its faculty. Student Diversity improves college to a large extent in all spheres. Lately student diversity is declining and local students are filling the college and bringing down the levels. Not affordable. Keep away.

Immense freedom that is more or less worth it

Being situated at quite a remote location in the state of Jammu and Kashmir the university sometimes might seem to be devoid of certain academic opportunities. Nevertheless, the environment here encourages the student to be independent and excel in life. Fairly acceptable campus recruitment by numerous technology firms adds on to building a competitive and nurturing platform for young engineers.

Endeed amazing option for Technical courses

It's the best university of Jammu and Kashmir.and the name comes to your mind after iit Jammu and nit Srinagar in the list of good colleges in Jammu and Kashmir is none other than SMVDU. the kind of environment you will be getting here is just mind blowing.the placements are good.even SMVDU has got its own technology business incubation centre to start new business ventures(startups) which is funded by department of science,gov of India.campus life is good here.there are good sports facilities available here.the place is quite serene n peacefull.but there are some problem too with our univ.like it's inert location, in village kakryal 15 km from holy town of katra.i would like to suggest that if anybody has a rank in between40k to 60k, SMVDU will be the best option for him.good luck!p.s:i forgot to add the most important.we have a 5 mbps internet facility here too.

Awesome environment and infrastructure

This college has a better infrastructure which provides excellent lab facilities so that student can do research works and projects. Apart from these, industrial trips are being organised to have industry exposure.College life here is awesome as frequent fests are organised and the weather here is very relaxing.The main concern here is placement, only IT companies visit here and provide average packages.The hostel has all general facilities requires for students , like cleanliness, good quality food, electricity and internet facility. Faculty is also good and is very helping in nature. Overall, this college is better tahn most of the private colleges but not as good as older NITs and IITs.

University : An Experience

College is surrounded by beautiful mountains and Infrastructure of college is very good . Classroom and hostel facilities are quite good . But the college needs to improve in terms of corporate exposure provided to the students and the department of placement as very few companies visit the campus. Faculty including professors also need to gain more experience on industry and real time project in fields of engineering.

Happening experience with versatile crowd to match with.

Infrastructure is the only thing to appreciate about the college. College being surrounded by the beautiful mountains provides scenic atmosphere to spend your quality time and work progressively in the peaceful environment.College life overall is happening and residential area is well suited too for college students.

Beautiful scenery and avg academic but good for learning.

The infrastructure of the college is very developed. The campus surroundings are very natural, quiet and healthy which is helpful for studies.The placement was average for the Mechanical Engineering department. Although the placement was much better for other branches like CSE, ECE, IBT and Architecture.Most of the faculty members are fantastic. They are very helpful. They are well educated and knowledgeable.This is an autonomous university, the course curriculum is good. Our hostels provide various facilities like indoor sports activities, Mess, Water Filters & Purifiers in each block.

It's like vacation with no parents but faculties

If you want my experience about college, i don't know why you want this Fee Structure is insanely Expensive,if u ask anyone about that they say it like IIT BOMBAY Infrastructure is like average to me, but they is lack of lecture halls or big examination hall Hostel infrastructure is very good if you ask me,Mess Food is disastrous and and also compulsory. All Faculties of all department are just bad, they are not even qualified for +2 teaching,with some exception of some philosophy and management faculties

Freedom with average facilities

The infrastructure and surrounding is excellent and the faculties are generally supportive.The hostel and mess facilities are also good.The various clubs in the university keep on organizing different events on a regular basis.Though campus placement are good but off campus ones are better.With a great alumni network, the university offer good opportunity to get hold of life, only if you can afford it.

College is not good at all

Although being a central funded university ,It is not up to the standards of other national universities/colleges in India. Infrastructure is the only thing that is worth praising . College need to improve its department of placement and training as only handful amount of companies visit campus (No core mechanical company visits campus). University should send students to different universities like IITs , NITs to make them aware of present scenario related to engineering and its market. No way the college is affordable as they charge very high as compared to the faculty and facilities they provide. Faculty of the college is inexperienced and lack knowledge of engineering industry and real life projects.
