Upvote Infrastructure Reviews
Infrastructure: IITs have top-notch facilities and infrastructure. Chemical labs are equipped with the latest technologies, apparatuses, and equipment. The library is open for about 20 hours and is also equipped with Wi-Fi. The quality of food in the mess and canteen is excellent. The sports facilities lack a bit; the fields are very crowded.
Infrastructure: Our department has its own library, which is well-stocked for students. Hostel provides a great environment and good quality. They provide students best quality food with varieties. Medical facilities are free. Our department conducts sports day two times a year.
Infrastructure: IIT Delhi's hostel infrastructure is in dire need of an upgrade. Many of the hostels are over 60 years old, and have seen minimal renovation or upgrades in recent years. A modern update would greatly improve the overall living experience. The IITD hospital also has its limitations, with a shortage of well-qualified doctors and outdated facilities. This can make it challenging for students to receive quality medical care on campus. On a positive note, the library stands out as a valuable resource...
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of hostel is very average. Building is very old and not very clean. There is no availability of handwash in washrooms. Hostel and mess fees are low. The mess food is also average but edible. Course infrastructure is quite good.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure, of course, and college are very excellent. The classrooms, the entire academic block, and the library are very well designed and highly maintained by the college management. But coming to the hostels, they are little older buildings, and all of them need to be renovated for better comfort of the students. The campus is completely covered with Wi-Fi, and coming to the mess served in my campus, it’s okay but needs to be improved in taste because the varieties served are good, b...
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available to our department will surely be the best, as it is one of the most reputed colleges all across India. The hostel has all the facilities, including a mess and a gym. Medical facilities are also provided; there is a hospital on the IIT Delhi campus.
Infrastructure: The hostel rooms are bad. For 1st year, you either get a triple-sharing room or a double-sharing room. The one I have gotten in my first year is the triple-sharing one. It has 2 big almirahs, 2 mirrors, 2 small almirahs, 2 cupboards, 2 fans, and three beds. The food in the mess is quite good, but sometimes they mess up with the taste. There is a hospital on campus where students can go for check-ups without any charges by showing the medical booklet provided by the institute. There are many faci...
Infrastructure: We have proper Wi-Fi. There are clean and well-equipped labs. Some labs have non-functional equipment. Classrooms are mostly clean. The food is mostly alright, not good to be honest. There is a hospital on campus. Doctors are not good. Sports facilities are good.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure for academics and extracurricular activities is top-notch. The library is top-class. Hostels are also good, with each hostel having sufficient facilities and a night mess. Cleaning is also good at the hostel. Though the hostel buildings for B.Tech are old, one may find it difficult as they mainly have three-occupancy rooms at the hostel.
Infrastructure: Course professors are the best. Hostel rooms are too small; otherwise, hostel life at IIT is amazing. Wi-Fi facility is okay. Sports and games facilities are excellent. We have coaches also. IIT Delhi has its own sports fest called Sportech. Mess food is healthy and tasty.
Infrastructure: Well, here as in lab all the facilities were provided by the college that we need in lab and also it provides a guide session about our course that what should we do or not. Well, my hostel is Jwalamukhi and it provides too much facilities like cleaning facilities, playground, TV room, common room.
Infrastructure: The facilities available for the course/department are quite satisfactory. On the contrary, the facilities provided at the hostel are not. I stay at Himadri hostel, and there is no facility of a gym, very less spacious visitor room, and low-quality food is provided.
Infrastructure: The labs are in holder buildings known as blocks. They are a bit worn down due to them being pretty old. Rest no information. Regarding hostels, it is a bit cramped. Three people are allotted a room for two. Sometimes water supply gets shut off at night. For sports, there is a badminton and basketball court and a Table tennis table. Wi-Fi is also good. Food can be bad sometimes.
Infrastructure: The hostels are very nice and mess has amazing food. If you are in stress, you can go to another room and talk to them. The college have sports grounds. If you are interested in any particular sports, you can practice here daily. And you can make your future also.
