Udit Kalani's Review On IIT Roorkee - Indian Institute Of Technology - [IITR], Roorkee

College management is just like other government organizations.

The course structure is pretty much similar to Mathematics and Computing at other IITs, the course is designed such that at the end of your course your knowledge proceedings would be diverse enough to land you a job of your choice(if the placement is what you want to seek)considering the diverse curriculum that the branch has to offer, and inclusion of courses like Data Structures and Algorithms, Linear Algebra, DBMS may help you in your enthusiasm for coding. If you, at later stages, which is quite possible, develop your interest in research, there are ample opportunities to pursue your field of interest in Mathematics and related fields. Plus the perks of studying at an older IIT will always be there. You will have the company of some really talented seniors in the field of coding which would boost up your enthusiasm to code.

We are offered many on-campus placements and can also apply for internships in top colleges and companies across the globe. Last year we also got placement offers from Adobe, Goldman Sachs Microsoft, Royal Bank of Scotland, Oracle, PayPal, InMobi, Flipkart, Deloitte, Cognizant.

Mainly we have 3 big events - Technical, cultural and sports festival in which students from all over the country participate and compete. The technical festival is the biggest in the whole contingent. The sports festival is one of the biggest in north India.

The fees depend on the income of your parents. If it is less than 5 lakhs, then you can study for free otherwise it is a 1 lakh tuition fee per semester. Other fees include that of hostel and mess(18000 per annum), around 2000 for the industrial trip, 10000 for other things.

No, they don't provide any extra scholarships. But we have scholarships for fee reduction which is given based on the income of parents.

The gender ratio is very bad i.e. 1 is to 10. We have a very liberal community on the campus which doesn't discriminate with respect to gender, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, politics, and economic status. The campus included groups for every extracurricular activity

Yes, it is compulsory. All the rooms in the hostels here are single-seater, which according to me is the best feature of the hostels. You are on your own. You work, study, listen to music according to your own time, with no one to tell you to put the lights off or lower the volume down.

Our college does not have much alumni network but we have really helpful seniors which help in every way possible.

The admission is based on the rank secured in the IIT-JEE Advance Entrance exam which is conducted in May every year(may vary) and then you have to fill up your preferences for your branch and college to opt. After the ranks are declared after ADVANCE, you have to fill preferences for the various IITs with the particular stream in them. Then within few days counseling starts, the preference which suits your rank and the availability of seat will lead to the allotment of the seat. Then within a particular time period you to confirm your seat if you are taking admission in IIT. There is also an option that you can confirm your seat but wait for the remaining counseling if you are something better than what you got now. After registration, then it goes to individual IITs, each IIT will final its date of admission and the procedure and documents required for it. All this information will be available on the institute website and also on JOSAA.

The faculty of IIT Roorkee is among the best in India. They are knowledgeable, skilled, and have very high research output. Almost all professors have relevant industry-experience or certifications. They have a good idea about how to prepare for the exam and check the knowledge of the student.
