Absolutely satisfied with the college and its academics.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is just awesome. Although some rooms are small, it's above average. The mess food is okay, if not good. In the first year, you are supposed to study common subjects like physics, engineering mathematics, basic programming, and engineering drawing. In the second year onward, you read your own core subjects.

College culture is good.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided are extremely efficient, as we have separate labs for particular courses and separate buildings for our departments, for example, the TA 211 lab and the TA 212 lab. Wi-Fi provided is wonderful. The labs are clean and the library is also very clean. The facilities in our hostel are average; everything is good except for the laundary system.

Excellent infrastructure and facilities, well-defined curriculum with great faculty.

Infrastructure: The faculties in the civil department are excellent, and the infrastructure is also very good. However, there is no Wi-Fi in the civil department labs.

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.

All aspects are very good at IIT Kanpur.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure of labs and classrooms are very good, with air conditioning in all areas. Most machines in the labs are in working condition. The hostels at IIT Kanpur are excellent, each having its own mess and canteen that provide all necessary food and items for daily life and study. Additionally, each hostel has its own sports ground, and sports equipment is provided by the hall office, contributing to a great hostel environment.

Review of Earth Science Course, IIT Kanpur.

Infrastructure: Labs have AC and are well-equipped. Classrooms and the library are shared by all students and have good infrastructure. The hostel is decent, but my room is small, though adjustable. The food in the mess is good but can sometimes be bad. We have good medical facilities here, and a bunch of free medicine is provided. Many sports and games are available.
