College Infrastructure

There is unlimited Wi-Fi with a speed of around 100 Mbps. Classrooms are excellent. They can accommodate 50 to 600 students. The library is very well maintained. It has almost every book. It is a very peaceful place. The mess serves a variety of food items from almost every part of India. The food is very delicious.

Experience is good.

College Infrastructure

The infrastructure in the chemical engineering department is good. It has all the well-equipped labs and machines to help with your experiments. All the labs and classrooms have 24-hour Wi-Fi and air-conditioned facilities. The library of IIT Kanpur is famous as the PK Kelkar library, which is huge in size and silent. Mess food is better than other foods. They have all the sports and games facilities, which are open all day and night.
