IIT Madras campus used to be a part of Guindy national park. Spotting deers, monkeys, wildcats, and blackbucks running around the campus is an everyday event.
One of my cousins graduated from IIT Kanpur and highly recommends it. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of IIT Kanpur.
- IIT Kanpur has many long-stay faculties. On the other hand, IIT Madras essentially involves a fast-changing faculty team.

- But, IIT Madras reportedly has better meals in the mess. While IIT Kanpur inculcates lower costs and active canteen areas.
