An Experience for Life

College management is mostly good but the facilities provided need much improvement, no transparency is maintained about the money being spend. But on the whole its a nice place to build your engineering career.

I took the OJEE exam in 2011, and got a rank of 1492. I opted for this college as it was soon going to be a deemed university and was supposed to be at par of other IIIT's in India. Currently it is a deemed university and it takes students from the centralized exam.

Course curriculum is good. Though we did not have many options during our time, currently a lot of electives are being offered and more focus is being given to projects and research work, an entire semester with no other subjects except complete focus on project.

Till date only Dell has provided internship, but that was to the batch after us. It was probably paid but I am not aware of the exact stipend amount. Us and the previous pass-outs, we generally had to approach companies ourselves to do internships.

Placement opportunities were not that good for our seniors but slowly it has been improving a lot. We have had companies like Snapdeal- 15 lpa, Dell-5lpa, Infosys-3. 25lpa, IBM-3. 15lpa, ibexi-4. 2lpa, ITC-3 lpa, Capgemini-3lpa, Tech mahindra-2. 8lpa, Amdocs has its test center in iiit bbsr, elitmus exam is also held in iiit bbsr, mind tree has also made it to iiit bbsr in the running year.

We have one annual techno-cult fest called Advaita which is held around March. It is a big event where colleges from all over the country are invited to participate in various events. On the last of the fest we have celeb night where some renowned singer is invited to perform. We have had Mohammad Irfan, Divya Kumar and Sunburn performances in our campus till date. Apart from that we have various intra events which keep happening throughout the year.

The annual fee for us was around 1. 5lakh. I found it a little expensive as we did not have much facilities back then. Also it was just an up and coming Institute back then. However a lot of improvements have come up since then so I guess with time the fee structure can be considered to be ok.

IIIT BBSR is linked with Andhra Bank which provides study loans, scholarships like TWF is provided to students whose parents annual income is less than 2 LPA but limited students only get this scholarship. The topper of each branch is awarded 20000 per semester.

The gender ratio is pretty even. Most of the students are hindus, iiit bbsr is a very cool environment for both the genders, every one is entitled to same opportunities. the awesomeness of this institute is it has no specific uniform system unlike all the other colleges in the state. Politics will come into play when societies formation takes place.

To be honest, hostel facilities were bad. No matter how many times we complained, the hostel authorities never really did much about it. The ratio of washing machines and aquaguard filters to the number of students was really less and we really faced a lo

No alumni network as of now, though a specific tab is there for it in the online erp system HIBISCUS. But u can contact any senior or college staff through the official FB page of iiit bbsr.

Exams and labs were strict and well balanced out giving us good enough time for preparation. 2 unit tests were conducted before the final semester exam. Labs were conducted every week and the exams were conducted a month before the semesters. Currently th

The faculty is very well qualified however the teaching skills varies from average to excellent. During the first two years some of the faculty people are good, however the next two years the faculty that you will get are generally excellent and that is w
