College Infrastructure

The infrastructure is literally the best in any premier institute of the country. The classrooms, library, and labs are of international standards. Wi-Fi and network connectivity are amazing in most parts. Food is better than any IIT. The canteens are good. Medical facilities are very good with quick response and great infrastructure. Sports and games facilities are also good. Gymkhana, grounds for many games and many other things are available.

Definitely go for this college

If you are getting admission to IISc, you are getting a hostel. In the hostel room, you will find a chair, table, locker, bed and light. All the rooms are well ventilated, and, best of luck, you can also get a balcony with a nice outside view. Based on your area and food habits, you will have access to the mess. The food quality is awesome. You can choose between a North Indian and a South Indian mess. Also between vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Everyone coming to IISc will get a hostel. You will do registration at the time you come to the institute; it's a very easy process.

Meet with some amazing people.

The facilities and infrastructure are good. The labs are well-equipped. The hostels are quite decent, and more food is not given in the hostel. Mess food is good, but canteen food has an amazing taste. The rooms are clean. The mess is clean and served in a hygienic way. The campus has Wi-Fi facilities, the labs are well updated, the classrooms are always clean, and the library is too big with all books; we should have an ID card to blend it.
