IIT Roorkee - my 2nd HOME

Positive remarks - IIT Roorkee is the oldest engineering college of India having some outstanding faculties, super cool seniors, an awesome college life, satisfactory placements and some great opportunities in extracurricular activities Negative remarks - It is in outskirts, no direct traveling medium from many metropolitan cities. Mess food could have been better. Curriculum can be updated

The course curriculum is needs to be updated a bit, we're still learning primitive methods which don't seem to match to current working standard and requirements. Regarding exam patterns, there will be total 8 semester which will have 2 exams - one mid semester exam and one end semester exam with few surprise quizzes in few subjects.

The placement and job opportunities are really great here, almost all students who sit in placements get placed irrespective of their branches both in core and non core sectors. Yes,our college provides internship. Companies come in our college for taking the interns with a decent stipend. I myself got an intern in Reliance Industries Limited from college with a stipend of 40k pm. The experience was really great there, got to understand the working environment there and also got a placement offer from there. So the learning was really great and of immense help for the future.

There are many cultural and technical groups along with a sport council. A sports festival, a cultural festival and a technical festival is organised every year at different times in a year where students of different colleges come for participation.

The fee structure is feasible as students get fee waiver directly from the government based on the income of their parents. Also education loan is cheaply available if someone is unable to pay for their education, so overall don't think the fee structure is that much expensive

1st one is education loan which is very easily available for IITs. All you need to do is completing some banking formalities and you can avail them easily. One scholarship is Merit-cum-Means which is being given to top 20% students of their branches whose family income is less than 5 lpa. Apart from that, some branches have individual scholarship scheme for their students.

We've excellent sports complex for all the sports. Everyone can learn and pass their leisure time improving their games. Also the labs are well maintained and equiped with modern devices, which very much give the basic understanding of the subjects and are also helpful for research purposes. We've different societies for dancing, singing, drama, cultural programs which organises regular events where interested students take part and enjoy their extracurricular activities.

Yes, I've opted for hostel. All I can say that the hostel facilities are just amazing, we've been provided everything which one need in their hostel life. A nice mess food, gym facilities, indoor sports complex, 24X7 canteen facilities, single rooms after first year and many more. I'll rate them 8/10 overall.

Yes, the alumni network of IIT Roorkee is really strong, you can approach any alums anytime be it from FB, insta or LinkedIn. They are always eager to help us, they can help you getting an internship or even a job if you're looking for exploring some field. The seniors are super cool here, even a fresher can directly approach a final year students for their help. The seniors always help their juniors in getting accustomed to college life and guide them how to utilise their upcoming years in the college

I've qualified JEE mains after which you're eligible to sit in JEE Advanced, and after that, I qualified JEE Advanced and got a decent rank. After that, based on my rank I've been allotted IIT Roorkee for B. Tech in Chemical Engineering after shortlisting few colleges.

We've some really helpful faculties in our college which really helps us in gelling up with the course contents, in research fields and other helps in the college. They are highly qualified from renowned foreign universities with a good grip and excellent knowledge in their field.
