Overall Rating: 6/10

The campus is still under construction, but it's spread over 18 acres. The lawn with palm trees looks beautiful. The infrastructure isn't top-notch yet, but they have the basics like a library and hostels. They need to improve sports facilities and add an auditorium.

Overall Rating: 5/10

CNLU Patna's campus is okay, nothing too fancy. The library and classrooms are air-conditioned, which is a relief during the hot Patna summers. The hostel situation could be better, especially the lack of AC. But the friends you make here make up for it. The college is working on building an auditorium, which is long overdue.
