A walk through IITG

They are great and the student gymkhana is the student representative to the administration

Course curriculum is relevant and has been updated recently based on student and faculty feedback. The revamped course structure is quite efficient and prepares the students for the industry. It is at par with other top institutes in the world. It motivates us for research as well and the college has good infrastructure to support research. The college has played a crucial role in shaping my personality. The course structure, the lectures, the peer quality, the labs, the super great ambience,the entire aura of the place is outstanding. Industry visits are organized as needed for the students. Campus placements are outstanding and almost everyone gets placed. A plethora of companies visit and go empty handed as nobody is left.

I have secured internship in Oracle. Again, being an established IIT, the placements and internships are outstanding. Usually everyone gets one amongst the btech crowd. Giants like Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Adobe, Samsung, Goldman Sachs, sprinklr,etc. recruit for both internship and placement. We have good relationship with these companies

We have inter hostel events- spardha(sports), manthan (cultural), Kriti (technical), research conclave, techevince (technical exhibition), udgam (entrepreneurship fest), alcheringa (cultural fest), techniche (technical fest), etc. Participation in inter college fests and exhibition is huge and they are held on a grand scale with nation wide participation and artists from all over the world perform in these.

Course fee is about 2lakh per annum and hostel fee is about 50k per annum. However lots of different scholarships are available for the deserving and needy. The fee is same for all btech courses. The fee also includes the medical insurance, the gymkhana fee, mess charges, electricity, water,etc. Payment accepted is bank transfer, online modes,card payment,etc. No bribery is accepted and everything is fully transparent.

I have availed merit-cum-means scholarship Which is given on the basis of family income plus academic performance. I have also taken a bank loan under vidyalaxmi scheme provided by Government of India.

Campus life is great. Gender ratio is not so good about 5:1 or so. Extracurricular is awesome. We have various clubs- robotics, electronics, aeromodelling, dance, music, drama, poetry, debate, artificial intelligence,finance, astronomy,etc. Clubs are entirely managed by students. Regular workshops are held for juniors to learn and join the clubs. No gender, religion or any bias. Everyone is at par. No discrimination on any grounds.

Yes. Everyone has a separate room. Every Room is furnished with lights,fan, bed, wardrobe, shelves- has a balcony,etc. There are big airy lobbies. Clean bathrooms with geyser and washing machines. Hostel has a juice centre, canteen, stationery shop, gym room, indoor sports room, library, conference room, sitting places,etc.

Alumni network is great. They come for recruitment and guide their juniors. They are very helpful in establishing link with the industry. Their feedback and vigilance also keeps the administration in check. They are an integral part of the family.

I cracks JEE Advanced to secure admission. The admission is via a counselling portal managed by JOSSA. I was getting electronics and communication engineering at my rank and being an old IIT, I chose IIT Guwahati. The admission is highly competitive and we get it depending on our rank. I wanted a circuital branch or computer science and so I opted for this course.

The faculty is good. They have good research experience in their respective Fields. Teaching prowess varies and is good on an average. The course curriculum and flexibility is enhanced by their style of teaching. The pattern of teaching and grading varies widely, but this adds flavor to the courses. Usually they are all pretty friendly and understanding. Average age is around 37 years, usually all are PhDs or post docs from world class institutions. They also have good industrial ties in their domains.
