Remarks
I wanted to pursue my PhD in one of the top 10 IITs. I am glad that I got seat in IIT Guwahati in Design Stream. As the current semester is online I don't know much about the good and bad aspects of IITG. But one thing I must say it is the most beautiful campus among the all IITs in India. Because of Covid-19 pandemic the admission process was completed online through teams app(Shortlisting is based on GATE score). There was 2 rounds of interview, first round was about basics of Engg Mathematics, English and Subjects related to stream and the second round was related to Projects and Areas of Interest related to research work.
Course Curriculum Overview
You can find all these details through official web site of IITG. Almost in IITs standard of faculty will be very high. Since the last semester was online I can't say anything about teaching. I can say it was good and the exams were like 2 mids and 1 end sem exam, But this was not the case in all subject again it will depend on the course instructor. Difficulty level was moderate I mean if you work hard and study well definitely you will clear the exam otherwise it will be very difficult.
Placement Experience
I don't much about placement details of PhD students. But definitely there will be so many offers in R&D of different companies, if not that they will start their career as asst professors in universities etc.
Campus Life
As I am yet to reach the campus, I will update all these details soon. As of my knowledge one annual fest will be there, to encourage students talents there will be so many clubs run by students only. And annually there will be inter and intra IIT sports meets and tech meets will be there.
