I recently took admission in IIT Kanpur for doing my M.Sc biotechnology degree and want to know is there any shopping center available in IIT Kanpur campus if yes then please provide me lists of all items and products I can buy from that shopping center?

Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK) is a public engineering institution established in 1959. It was declared to be an Institute of National Importance by the Government of India under the Institutes of Technology Act. It was created with the assistance of a consortium of nine US research universities as part of the Kanpur Indo-American Programme (KIAP).

The campus has a shopping center (locally called the Shop-C). Most of the shops are open from around 10:00 --10:30 am till 8:30--9:00 pm. The shops are generally closed on Sundays, though some of them open in the evenings.

The Shop-C has two bookstores, two photocopying shops, two general stores, a pharmacy, a barbershop-cum-beauty parlour, a sweet shop, a bakery shop, a dry cleaning shop, a computer shop and a restaurant among others.

The Shop-C also has the IIT Kanpur branch of the State Bank of India, the IIT post office, a Telecom Centre and a milk bar selling various aerated drinks as well as hot coffee. A dentist and an eye specialist are available there during specific hours.

There are a large number of shops at the IIT gate, on the arterial Grand Trunk (GT) Road. One can also take a rickshaw to the gate. The fare is Rs. 5/- for one or two persons. Most of the shops at the gate are closed on Mondays, but some of them open towards the evening.
