It's really hard to express my gratitude to this institute, for the seemingly unimaginable ways it's helped me grow as an individual.

IIT Kanpur fundamentally stands for freedom, which is expressed in the ability of students to choose subjects that excites them, indulge in activities which interests them and find resonance amongst like minded individuals. The academic and co-curricular infrastructure caters from the mundane to the paranormal, and I can assert with confidence that any number of years won't suffice to absorb everything that this place has to offer.

Set in lush greenery and an architectural style which conflates the old pillars of education to the modern world, this place is a visual delight.

The food options are also plentiful with the OAT food court and CCD in the academic area if you get bored of the numerous canteens.

Pro-tip: If you do get an opportunity to visit this place, make sure you visit the iconic P. K. Kelkar library.
