Indian Institute Of Technology Delhi

The campus here in Hauz Khas is quite a big place. Most of us who work or study at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi spend a lot of time just walking from one end to the other. It is filled with these old, sturdy buildings and lots of trees that have been here since the start. You might see a peacock if you are lucky, especially near the residential areas. The main administrative building is the one most people recognize first. It’s not really a place for show; it’s more about the labs and the late nights in the library. During the exams, the whole vibe changes and everyone looks a bit tired. The canteens are the heart of the place though. That is where the real talk happens over cups of chai. It’s a very grounded atmosphere despite what people might think from the outside. We have people from every part of the country living in the hostels, so you hear a lot of different languages when you walk around. The weather in Delhi can be tough, especially the dusty winds, but the campus feels like a little island of green. We don't spend much time on fancy talk. There is always a machine to fix or a project that is running behind schedule. It’s just a busy, working campus where everyone has their own thing going on. We are part of the Hauz Khas landscape now, just a regular fixture in the city.
