rajkumarr, hi and welcome to HTG.

'limited access' assumes you are reaching the router but no internet access, yes?

Things to try,
Can you get internet with an ethernet cable?

If so;

1) reset the router, turn off at mains for 5 mins, reboot the router and your machine.
2) In network & sharing delete the old connection in manage wireless networks.
3) Now reconnect to that network inputting the passphrase again.

rajkumarr, open command prompt as administrator and run the following command: netsh winsock reset

Restart your PC.

Sorry I still cannot connect my laptop to my college wifi even after following your guidelines!! Sorry for the late reply because I had my holidays! I think I should try to find some solutions online! I'm still having the same "Limited Connectivity/Access problem"

Are you the only one that cannot connect? If not then you need to check with you college IT personnel. Maybe they can help you either way.
