College Infrastructure

All the classrooms are well-equipped with smart boards, AC, Wi-Fi, etc. Also, all labs are as per industry standards and research culture are also very good here at IITP. There is total four hostels' functions currently out of which 3 are boys' hostel and 1 is girls hostel, all hostels are equipped with Wi-Fi and many indoors games, common room for study as well as one common room for enjoying various games like cricket, football, etc. Overall mess quality is quite good but you will definitely going to miss your home no matter how good it is.
