It can be better regarding basic residential amenities and the placement scene.

Infrastructure: Mess food is top-notch, with cuisines available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian for both North and South Indians. Regular fumigation is organized every week, and food quality is closely monitored. UG hostel facilities are sometimes compromised with a shortage of water and electricity, and impurities in water are found once in a while. Overall, it is average.

Review of Indian Institute of Science.

Infrastructure: The course curriculum is very lucrative. As a student of accounts and tax, I was taught these subjects in great depth. Additionally, regular classes were held, which proved to be extremely helpful as we had just transitioned from school to college. Exams were held semester-wise, meaning we had internal assessments twice a year. The hostel infrastructure is rated 7 out of 10, the food 9 out of 10, hostel facilities 7 out of 10, gym facilities 8 out of 10, and strictness 5 out of 10. Some strict r...

IISc at a glance: an institute with a legacy of excellence.

Infrastructure: Most important parts of campus have Wi-Fi. The library is one of the biggest in India. IISc has some of the most advanced research facilities. Classrooms are basic but that's what's needed. Rooms are quite basic, with shelves, cupboards, and a study table. Rooms are quite good given the price. IISc has the best messes of any institute in the country. There are five messes. They offer a variety of cuisines. The menu is very varied and most food items are amazing.
