The sports facilities at MNNIT Allahabad are inadequate, and much can be done to improve them. Though facilities for sports such as cricket, football, tennis, basketball, and badminton are available, items can be issued without difficulty. 

There are numerous shortcomings on the part of the administration in terms of providing adequate facilities and motivation to students who participate in these games.

• The institute has an old, non-air-conditioned gym with all the necessary equipment. The gym hall is large and has high roofs to help with the intense heat and humidity. However, the administration does not invest in its renovation. There is a scarcity of weights for serious lifters.
• They also made wrong decisions, such as dividing the gym time equally between boys and girls, despite the fact that girls are never interested in gym or bodybuilding. They also made it mandatory for students to follow the trainer's advice and regime whether they needed it or not.
• Few people are aware that this institute has a swimming pool that is currently closed, most likely due to an accident that occurred a few years ago in which a student died. The authorities have since closed the swimming pool. However, the administration never attempts to change the situation.

All of this is taking place while this institute receives a yearly grant of around Rs 100 crores. The sad reality is that all of the money goes to the corrupt higher authorities of the Institute, and we can not do anything.

The campus has an amazing lot of sports equipment and options available on-site. My sister is an excellent volleyball player, at Thapar University. You'll find the following facilities on-campus:

• A swimming pool.
• Tennis courts.
• Ground for cricket
• Basketball and volleyball courts
• Badminton court, a table tennis room and a chess room.

Thapar University focuses on highlighting each student's potential and bringing out their unique selves. Each year there's a sports meet and each department has its own team for fun challenges. The college has made it mandatory to include at least one female student in each sports team.

If you're already an athlete, then you'd find your way to a very beautiful synthetic track with the availability of a Long jump setup and a High Jump setup. There are practice fields for throwing games like Javelin or shot put.

The badminton hall works as a gym as well and is well equipped. The sports department also organizes various sports events like ‘Thapar Olympics aka Thaparlympics’, ‘URJA’ etc and the coaches are most enthusiastic about preparing you well. Thapar University is indeed a great place to develop yourself holistically!

Both the colleges are almost on par with each other as far as sports management institutes are concerned. However, you may visit the official websites of both the institutes and get a detailed overview in order to choose what’s the best for you.

According to my friends from IET, the sports facilities on campus are decent. Every hostel has been equipped with one TT table, alongside one Badminton court. In fact, there is the provision of a main ground inside the college campus where you can play different forms of sports, such as football, cricket, and several other outdoor games. 

Alongside the available football and cricket ground, the college also offers one lawn tennis court. Students also enjoy the sports fest conducted every year by the college community, inviting several outside teams to compete. 

If you have the skills, then you can also get the opportunity to represent the college in the sports fest of IITs and other colleges. 

Well, NIT Puducherry is not very old but till now they do not have a specific ground for playing. But considering the sports facilities, you can find huge areas around it that can be utilized as a sports ground. 

• For football, you can simply use the ground available. 
• The hockey ground is situated in the southeast direction but it is not very spacious. 
• Coming to volleyball, the NIT authorities have placed a net in the middle of the ground. You can find this facility at the boys' hostel currently. 
• For the rest of the outdoor games like basketball or baseball, you need to travel or explore nearby because the court at college is not very spacious. However, the campus has 2 indoor badminton courts and 2 table tennis courts. 
• NITP also conducts sports day. In which intra-NIT competitions are held among four teams of the college. 

There are no professional coaches available currently and if you need personal coaching or one-to-one sports training on any sports, you need to take a look outside the college campus.
