GBPUAT: 1 Answered Question
Which is better in terms of a better study environment, academic quality and faculty GBPUAT Pantnagar or GBPEC Pauri Garhwal?
It is recommended that you do not opt for GBPEC Pauri. Here are some reasons why:
- It lacks basic life amenities and you won't be able to get proper medical facilities.
- Availability of water will be a big problem.
- The hygiene level of mess and hostels here is extremely low.
- The faculty and quality of education are not at par with GBPUAT or even DIT.
- GBPUAT Pantnagar is a better college than GBPEC Pauri in terms of infrastructure, location, and faculty.
- The administration is suffering from internal politics and no attention is given to student grievances.
You can rather go for DIT or GEU Dehradun which will provide a comparatively better environment and facilities.
