In 2007, NIT Hamirpur was ranked as the best NIT in terms of infrastructure by the World Bank. It’s filled with natural beauty and has very beautifully designed buildings. There are more than 10,000 pine trees on the entire campus. The climate is usually pleasant and the view is breathtaking. I believe pictures speak more than a thousand words so here are a few photos of the campus

The pics must have given you an idea of the infrastructure at NIT Hamirpur.
The answer is both, yes or no. It is because there is no separate building for Gym, in which you can get all the infrastructural facilities that are available in the so-called Gym along with the modern equipment.
However, you can get some of the Gym equipment in the hostel rooms. It includes mostly Yoga Mat, Dum-Bells, and Clutches and skipping ropes, etc. This equipment is generally purchased as per the decision of HEC (Hostel Executive Council). Thereby, if you know anyone from this council (HEC), you can get Gym equipment according to your choices. Besides, these are also kept then in the common hostel rooms.
If you are very much serious about Gym, then you can join the outside Gym of the college campus; however, the charges are very ostensible.
It may not be right to compare the colleges under DU among each other. As most of them have similar curriculum and teaching techniques.
But if infrastructure is considered Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College (DDUC) is far better than other colleges under DU. As it is a newly established institution, the facilities provided are upgraded with the latest technology.
They also are known to have a very highly experienced faculty, some of them even having 20-30 years of teaching experience. DDUC is popular for its Science and Commerce streams.
Therefore if you wish to choose among DDUC and ARSD College for an Honours degree in Computer Science, it is suggested that you go for the former rather than the latter.
IIT Bhubaneswar is among the second generation of IIT and it was established in 2008. Despite being a newly established institute, IIT Bhubaneswar is doing quite well in terms of academics and placements. According to 2020 NIRF Rankings. IIT Bhubaneswar was ranked at 22nd among the engineering colleges in India.
It is a new IIT and still in the developing phase, so it does not have the infrastructure as the old well-established IITs like Delhi, Bombay, etc. IIT Bhubaneswar as a campus is much better than any other new IITs but it does lack a proper playground and the students have to depend on the IMMT grounds which are only open for weekends. It also does not have some facilities like few labs for the school of Mechanical Engineering. But that does not mean IIT Bhubaneswar is any less. IIT Bhubaneswar is a new establishment and it will take some more years for this institute to come at the same level as the old IITs.
IIT Bhubaneswar also offers many facilities, for example, it has a Design and Innovation Centre (DIC) which is funded by the Ministry of Human Research Development (MHRD). Students work on cultural programs, fests, around the year to liven up the culture of IIT. IIT Bhubaneswar may not have all the facilities like the old IITs but they are trying their best to improve the IIT status.
I have a few friends from IET, so I think I can give some information about the institute. Here are some points to consider.
Securing admission at IET Lucknow can be a very good choice. It is considered amongst the several top institutes of the country.
IISERs get generous funding as they come directly under the MHRD of the central Government. Both IISER Bhopal and IISER Pune have state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities.
Therefore, it is not appropriate to compare the IISERs as they all have their unique features.
Classrooms
The classroom facilities at IIM Visakhapatnam are no joke and even IIM Bangalore professors were impressed by the classroom infrastructure. The classrooms are horse-shoe shaped elevated at every step to facilitate better professor and student contact.
Library
For book lovers, IIM Vishakhapatnam’s library is heaven. The vast library with 24-hour accessibility makes it one of the best. The librarian is very polite and is always on the hunt of bringing the best reads to the library. She even meets the professors and asks for their recommendations for the same. The library also has around 25 different subscriptions. Some of them include The Economist, EPW, Harvard Business Review, and MIT Sloan management.
Faculty
Most of the faculty is from the top B school IIM Bangalore and speaks of credibility. They are learned, experienced and passionate about teaching.
Crowd
Your batchmates will be people from various backgrounds, professions, and cultures. This ensures an all-round learning experience.
So people choose IIM Visakhapatnam over other IIMs because of such facilities and the best opportunities it has to offer.
A friend of mine is currently studying in the 2nd year at IIIT Guwahati and recently shifted to the new campus. However, the campus is still getting completed with minor changes remaining.
Here’s the current scenario at IIIT G according to him:
There are ample opportunities for extracurricular activities besides academics. Also, the recent increase of intake from 90 students to 230 students has led to a significant improvement in these fields. In the end, your interest and participation are what drives the campus.
No, there is no swimming pool inside the campus of IIT Bhubaneswar as of now. However, the construction of a swimming pool has been included in the upcoming campus plan. For now, the swimming pool at Kalinga Stadium Bhubaneswar which is one of the best swimming pools is used by the aquatics team of IIT Bhubaneswar for practice. According to the director of the institute, plans for an Olympic size swimming pool have been there in the pipeline for a long time and it may take at least two more years to be constructed. There are also plans to include the swimming pool in the Student Activity Centre itself(SAC). So there are no swimming pools in the student activity center as of now, but there may be one in a couple of years.
The campus of IIT Bhubaneswar is completely ready and it is good for the students who want to take admission in this college. The total campus area is around 936 acres of land. All the academic blocks that were constructed and are functioning well so that there is no problem to work on the new campus with good infrastructure facilities. Any fresher who takes admission in IIT Bhubaneswar will be accommodated in the permanent campus each year. This is the policy of the college so that it builds a decorum and help to work as per the proper guidelines. In IIT Bhubaneswar there is one boy’s hostel and one girl hostel. But from January 2019 it was shifted in the permanent new campus where there are more boys’ hostel and girl hostel. By which there would not be any problem for the fresher who wants to take admission and stay there.
