    College Infrastructure

    The research labs at IISc are really good. I think they were very well maintained as compared to my UG college. It was quite a big step up for me in terms of equipment and library access. The food is quite decent and has multiple cuisines to choose from. The hostels are really good but it is really hard to find a room vacancy.
