The culture here is nice, but academics are a bit hectic.

Infrastructure: We have high-speed Wi-Fi in our hostels, classrooms, and labs. The infrastructure for EE is a bit old, as it is one of the oldest branches, but it's fine. Labs are working well. The quality of food in hostels is fine. Sports here are top tier. Medical facilities are also good.

Very hectic academics, very bad experience with Maths courses really tough, and very hard grading.

Infrastructure: Hostels are not of that good quality, Wi-Fi is good and 24X7 available. Food is not that good if anyone has high expectations from IIT and it is an old IIT. All sports facilities are available on the campus and hostel. All sports equipment and all kinds of sports are available.

Extremely satisfied with my college, it is one of the best.

Infrastructure: The PK Kelkar Library is the heart of IIT Kanpur and is considered one of the most beautiful libraries. The lecture halls are well-maintained. Wi-Fi is available in every corner of the campus, and the labs are also very nice. There are 15 halls of residence, out of which, Hall 6 and Hall 4 are for female students and are very well-maintained, and the food is also good. Apart from education, the cultural and sports facilities are also well-maintained.

It has really good infrastructure and great professors. Faculty members are highly educated.

Infrastructure: There is 5G high-speed Wi-Fi on our campus. Classrooms are spacious and big. Mess food is just okay and it is not very tasty. The breakfast provided is good. Medical insurance is there, so we can access these medical facilities 24 hours and it is cost-free.
