Location:

Malla Reddy Engineering College (MREC) is located on the outskirts of north-Hyderabad, about 5 kms from Kompally and 25 kms from Koti. Frequency of RTC buses up to Kompally is excellent but as thousands of students are headed to the 20-odd engineering colleges in the area, buses are overcrowded. People are seen hanging on to whatever part of the bus they can find with a constant fear of being pushed down. College buses are more convenient but 10 times as expensive.

Infrastructure:

Although Malla Reddy Enginering College (MREC) is amongst the oldest institutions in this area, the refurbished infrastructure gives a modern appeal to it. The campus may not be huge but it doesn't provide much room for complaints as sports amenities as well as academic facilities are appreciable. A separate library block ensures sufficient availability of books. Labs were one thing that often created trouble, but they've been upgraded too.
A couple of hostels are shared between all the Malla Reddy Institutes creating an obvious space crunch. Other than that, they're manageable with the biggest advantage being a very relaxed atmosphere with little restrictions on timings. Yet, many who cannot adjust opt for one of the hundreds of other hostels available in the area.
