Hello Rishu kumar,

Sit Back and relax, it's going to be a long answer...

This is going to be a detailed answer covering all pros and cons.

Pros:

Location. It is damn pretty location if you wanna live with nature. Everyday is a new one. New colours, new scenes. just can’t explain this one. But its the only good thing here.

Labs are fine here. Not that good but not bad too. And yes, no Robotics Labs.

Beautiful Campus. Yes, it can be better, but still its beautiful than many of the colleges.

Cons:

There are actual Parents Teacher Meeting in the college where your parents are forced to attend it if if they have to travel 2 days.

If your class plans of having a mass leave, college administration people comes to Hostel to drag you to classes.

Terrorism. This place is having many Kashmiri Muslim boys who promote terrorism in their social media accounts. But this university hides all these kind of things and University will have to pay for it one day. These boys, openly claim that they are stone-pelters.

Hostel Staff & Wardens charge you with fine for the things you haven’t even done.

This University looks like an empty place in every weekend and fests as Jammu Janta is so obsessed with their home. No participation by their sides.

You can’t be absent from any class, as they directly send an SMS to your parent’s mobile just after the attendance.

Deans are the most biased ones, specially with girls. They are discriminated in everything.

Vice-Chancellor of the University is making it worse than before everyday. He just focuses on study, no fests, no chill, only marks. Yes, he is Dr. Viru Sahastrabuddhe kind of guy from 3 idiots.

Girls are not allowed to leave their hostels after 8 PM. Even if there is a medical emergency, warden asks to have written letter from HoD. When it comes from HoD’s home, after that you are allowed to leave that too in an ambulance only. Till then, keep suffering.

ERP System, the worst ever seen. There is a dashboard for us, which is not for us. It never works fine. Attendance is not shown proper. Marks are not uploaded. Classes are never updated. Its just for name...

Don’t expect any special event night here. Even if they propose, it gets cancelled as the funds are being eaten by Admin...

There are no good places in or around college to chill out with friends.

90% of faculty is not fit to teach, either by qualifications or by abilities.

Public transport is worse in this area. There are over-crowded mini buses, which are prone to accident in these hilly and curvy roads.

Judges of any competition are also biased. Don’t expect any kind of honesty from anyone here.

In summers, and during exams there is no light. Yes, power-cut. Solar cells, in the university are used to sell the electricity to different power plants and is not used in the University.

If you are a sports guy, this place is a hell for you. Hostels don’t issue you any kind of equipment. No one ever takes interest in sports if its not march or April. March and April is the time of Sarang, so called annual sports fest of the university. This is the only time, people take interest in sports.

Internet connection is worse for the first year students. First year boys are allotted Basohli Hostel. This hostel is having problem in every second room and here again, no one does anything to resolve the issue.

This place doesn’t even have a Canteen.

Girls can be just between 4:30PM to 6:30PM out of college. Else they call your parents.

There are no Student’s Clubs here just waste of time.., there is only Theatre Club and The Code Club, out of which Code Club is based and focused only on G-SoC & Open Source.

Library. This place is having one of the worst libraries of the country. You can’t issue any book after 5PM. You are not even allowed to go to that section of library after 9PM.

Water Supply is pathetic. Many times no water in taps. And drinking water isn’t purified, you have to drink the chlorine water directly coming from supply.

Closing rank for the college was not less than a joke this year, it went to lakhs. The person scoring negative marks in JEE Mains will be sitting with you on the same benches. This was for Electrical. For CSE, it went to 4.25 lakhs. These data are also available on the CSAB official website.
