Really beautiful campus- IITG.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are poor, definitely below average. The girls' hostel is slightly better. The library and academic blocks are maintained well in our college. It has good research facilities. Mess is also good for the price we pay. It's very cheap. The campus also has a 24/7 hospital. They provide us with medical insurance, too. Medicine is free up to 2 LPA.

College Life at India's Most Beautiful Campus.

Infrastructure: At the IIT Guwahati campus, life is vibrant with active clubs and major fests like Alcheringa and Techniche. Social life is so strong through hostel interactions, and infrastructure is modern and well - equipped. At IIT Guwahati, nightlife is moderate and mostly campus-based. Students stay active late with hostel hangout and night canteens, gaming, group studies, etc. However, outside options are limited due to the remote location, so it's not like city nightlife in metro cities.

Strong academics, good placements, and a peaceful campus life at IIT Guwahati.

Infrastructure: Classes are okay and have a good Wi-Fi facility. There is a central library and most hostels have their own library and reading rooms which can be used to study. Hostel rooms are okay, but they might get cramped UPAT times. Mess food is okay but thankfully there are many canteens and a lot of other food outlets. There is a hospital inside the campus and there are also two gyms.

IIT Guwahati College review.

Infrastructure: You got Wi-Fi everywhere on campus, and the hostels had plug-in internet. The labs had all the gear we needed, and the library was huge with 200,000 books. Honesty, the food was a 2 out of 5 for me. The doctors and sports areas were good, and while the second-year hostels weren't great, the rest were fine. Overall, the food was just okay.

IIT Guwahati College review.

Infrastructure: The classrooms felt modern, and the chairs were actually comfy. They had good airflow and smart boards for class. The library had tons of books and online stuff, too. There's also a big research center with high-tech tools. In the boys' hostel, you shared a room with one person and got internet and a desk. We get four meals a day, and there's always an ambulance ready if there's an emergency.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities available here are quite good. You will get Wi-Fi in class room, lecture hall, labs, and library. You will have a reading room in your respective hostel, also with full AC and Wi-Fi.
