Best IIT for opting for core fields.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my branch is average, not good like other IITs. Basic classrooms without a projector, Wi-Fi enabled campus, but with low speed. The library of this college is very big and has a large number of books. Hostel facilities are average, the canteen and mess food are not good in taste, but you can manage it. Medical and sports facilities are good, and students get opportunities to show their talent.

My honest review about my college.

Infrastructure: There are 6 hostels for males and 2 for females. All the hostels are good, but I love Diamond Hostel because of the heritage it has. The rooms are spacious, and you need to share the room with one person. The hostel fees are included in your semester registration. The course curriculum is pretty good. It is well-structured and helps the students in getting a better understanding of the entire field.
