Remarks

I applied to a lot of IITs and got selected in IIT Guwahati. During admission, you have to upload a preference list of colleges. After every counseling round, you would get to know which college in your preference list can you are eligible to apply to based on the current cut-off. After the rounds, the highest eligible college from your preference list is selected.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is a bit outdated according to me. But then again, mechanical engineering is a very old branch. The faculty: student ratio is about 20:1. The professors are all highly qualified and knowledgeable, but their teaching methods may seem a bit boring.

Class Size: 110Course Fees: INR 200000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

Companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart, and Wipro come to our college for internships. Needless to say, there is no shortage of opportunities if you are ready to work for it. The monthly stipend ranges around 60-80k but can go as high as 2-2.5 Lacs.

Placement Experience

You get eligible for placements from the 7th semester onwards. Many big giants visit IIT Guwahati for placements. The placement stats can be seen on the official website of IIT Guwahati. The percentage of students placed ranged from 95% in CSE to 25% in EP. The highest and average package is around 80 Lac and 15 lac respectively. Many students also prefer to go for higher education.

Fees and Financial Aid

The semester fee is around 1 Lac. You can apply for some scholarships, but the competition for those is very high. If you are from SC/ST/OBC/EWS , you can get some financial assistance from the college. There is not much scope for getting a job on campus.

Campus Life

4.5

The life at IIT Guwahati is amazing. I feel IIT Guwahati stands apart from other IITs in the fact that there is not much academic pressure on the students, and students can and do participate in lots of other activites. There is a very active fest and club culture. Our cultural fest Alcheringa is one of the biggest in India. The library has more books than you can ever need. You can follow the pages of IITG Clubs and fests on Instagram to know more about them

Hostel Facilities

Everyone gets single-occupied rooms, that's a big plus. The rooms are pretty basic (no AC). Hostel facilities include Library, TV Room, Sports Room, Sports Grounds, Washing Machine, Pantry, Music Room, LAN Internet, and wifi. However, the mess food is not good

Hostel Fee: INR 65000 per year

"IIT GUWAHATI : Perfect blend of Strong Academics, Great Placements and Vibrant Campus Life"

Placement Experience:

Placements at IIT Guwahati are excellent especially in the tech field ,with high placement rates and strong average packages generally Rs 30 lakh per annum. Top companies regularly visit the campus. After completing the course if i do not get placed on campus which is hardly possible i'll look for other off campus placements.

Placement Experience:

only fourth year students are eligible for campus placements . the detalis of the visiting compaies are not thte sure but at least 10 stuents are placed each year from every single batch. the higest so far was 20 lpa and it was in amazon , the student who cracked that placement applied it off campus . on campus placement was not more than 10 lpa so far . the percentage of students getting placemnets are less than 50% not because of quality of placement but majority stuents opt for higher studies or goverment jobs rather than direct placement . my paln is to also pursue higher education
