AKASH KURMI's Review On IIT Roorkee - Indian Institute Of Technology - [IITR], Roorkee

So based on my stay in IIT ROORKEE I can say that it is one of the best colleges in India. Except for some of the hostel facilities, all the facilities are really good. The most liked facility among students is lan system which provides unlimited and very high-speed internet connection to students.

Here fee structure is feasible. For SC/ST category students tution fees is zero. For other students fees depends on the annual income of their family. For families who earn less than 1 lakh, tution fees is zero. For students whose families earn in between 1-5 lakh 2/3 tution fee waiver is provides. If income is more than 5 lakh then the student has to pay a full fee which 2 lakh per year. Hostel and mess fee is approx. 55000 Rs. per year which is same for all students.

Here students under AIR 300 are provided JJ Thomson scholarship in which student is given a stipend of Rs. 25000 per month. Here loan facility is excellent. Any student can get a loan for a full tution fee without giving any interest.

Here extracurricular activities are very good. IIT ROORKEE contains ground for almost every game like football, hockey, cricket, Table tennis, lawn tennis, etc. So sports facilities are excellent. Here cultural and sports meets are organized from time to time according to hostels and colleges. IIT ROORKEE has labs for almost everything required in engineering which is in very good condition.

Here seniors are very friendly. they are almmost like our big brothers. Ragging is banned in the college. Junior senior interaction is very good. Juniors can visit their seniors anytime and may seek help in any topic and seniors also help where they can. Here alumni network is also very good. Students who were unable to get internships and jobs can contact to alumni association where they are provided necessary opportunities. Alumni also donates funds to college for different activities. Alumni meets are also organized each and every year so that alumni can meet their old friends. So alumni network and senior-junior interaction is also good.

You have to go to the registration center and you have to take some documents which you will get to know from the website of the college.For the candidates to qualify for admission in the IIT Roorkee, they should have secured at least 75% marks in the 12th class examination, or be in the top 20 percentile in the 12th class examination conducted by the respective Boards. For SC/ST students the qualifying marks would be 65% in the 12th class examination.

Here the faculty is quite good. They are experts in their field but mostly they are focused on research work so they are not much focused on teaching. So teaching is just satisfactory and some lectures may be boring but you can talk to them personally on any topic according to their field. Most the faculty members are helpful but exceptions are always there.
