Remarks
My interest in AI, ML and DL made me attracted towards this course. And the future of Geomatics is very bright because of its applicability in various fields. This course is interdisciplinary which means that students from various backgrounds like CSE, CE, AR, ECE, EE, etc can apply for the same through their GATE score.
Course Curriculum Overview
Courses running are quiet good but some of the courses are irrelevant for this branch in today's requirements in my views. My branch comes under Civil Engineering Department and because of this even faculties are from Civil Engineering background mostly who are bit conventional for this course. As I told you earlier this course in interdisciplinary so it should not force students to study civil engineering subjects like surveying measurements, etc. And talking about the exams they are regular, there are some courses where you miss class and you won't pass the exam because it's bit difficult. And of course this is IIT, so professors are well trained and qualified in their fields.
Placement Experience
Most of the students get placed in the placement season and even throughout the year if they are willing to get placed seriously. Few students are left even intentionally because some go for higher studies or prepare for some govt. exams like civil services, junior engineer, etc.
Fee Structure And Facilities
If any student is GATE qualified and gets enrolled into any government institutions, he is eligible to get MHRD Scholarship (now known as Ministry of Education). In every IIT they have their own names like Teaching Assistantship, Institute Assistantship, etc. Fees are very minimal for Mtech, somewhere around Rs 1.75 lakhs for everything from A to Z. And the scholarship you will be getting is 12.4 K per month for maximum of 24 months.
Campus Life
IIT Roorkee is the oldest technical institute of Asia, so it has all the necessary infrastructures within the campus. We have all sorts of cultural and technical fests Thomso and Cognizance respectively. We have one of the best libraries in India named after Mahatma Gandhi ie. Mahatma Gandhi Central Library, images can be seen on the internet.
Hostel Facilities
As this istitute is very old so some of the hostels are very past built. But there is no scarcity of infrastructure required for students in any hostel like canteen, gym, parking, parks, etc. There are single occupancy as well as double occupancy rooms available.
Admission
