The reality of IIT Kanpur.

Infrastructure: In my department, there is a separate chemical engineering building and lab, which are similar to industries but on a very small level. In the labs, you will find too many desktops, and Wi-Fi is always there and we have Asia's second-largest library in IIT Kanpur. The hostel quality is good but it remains good in the first year only and after the first year, the quality of the rooms is not so good. And in every hall, there is a canteen and a gym. In the whole of IIT Kanpur, there is only one med...

Review of IIT Kanpur by a civil engineering student .

Infrastructure: There are 4 types of Wi-Fi available almost at every spot in college. The labs are wonderful and well-equipped. Classrooms are extraordinary and contain switch boards, projectors, big screens and central AC. The library contains a vast number of books, a good chair, fewer switch boards compared to occupancy, and central AC. Mess food will be average. You can get extra items by paying the very minimum amount. Canteen food will be good compared to a mess. We have a health centre open 24 hours a da...

Overall, a very nice college. If you are able to get a circuital branch here, it's good.

Infrastructure: Every department has common faculty buildings and lecture halls that are completely air-conditioned as well as proper Wi-Fi connection. Also, library is a good place to study. Our hostels have average infrastructure as they are old but the quality of food in the mess and canteens is very good. Also, hostels have different grounds for sport activities.

College is well known and best college as compared to others.

Infrastructure: We all get the free Wi-Fi in the hostel; it is old and the classrooms are of two types, old and new but all have AC rooms and there is a big library known as the PK Kelkar Library. Rooms have no ACs. We have a mess secretary among us so the quality of the food is not bad and the canteen is open from 2 pm to 2 am. And the medical facilities are 24/7 and free. And have a student activity centre for games and sports.

Great college life and a great start to your career.

Infrastructure: The facilities, like labs, classrooms, and libraries, are fully furnished and have central AC. Hostel rooms are typical sarkari hostels and are old buildings with small rooms. The mess food is average, but canteen food is good. Other facilities like medical, sports, and cultural are excellent.
