A critic from The Times of India wrote that "The film is recommended only if you are into a guessing game". [9] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "Spooky College would have worked better as a decent dive into exploring young minds, however, the film doesn’t just shine that bright a light on this pertinent issue".
