"SPA Delhi: A Unique College Experience with a Strong Legacy"

Overall Rating: 5/10

The campus infrastructure is new and well-maintained, which is a big plus. The classrooms are modern, and the library is stocked with a good collection of books. However, the campus life could be more vibrant; it's not as lively as some other colleges.

"SPA Delhi: A Great Place to Grow, But Needs Some Improvements"

Overall Rating: 8/10

SPA Delhi's campus has a unique charm, but it could use some upgrades. While the facilities are functional, they are not as modern as those found in some NITs. The college is working on improving the infrastructure, but there's still room for improvement in areas like the canteen and sports facilities. However, the library is a valuable resource for students.
