Nice college. Overall superb experience.

You need to pass class 12th with >75% in PCM and must have a valid JEE Mains scorecard. There is no separate form for appearing in the counseling, as IIIT BBSR comes under GFTI the counseling is done by NTA only. No separate form fee is needed for it. You can fill the choice along with other government institutes. There is no need for improvement in the admission process. Selection is done through an online portal, you need to be physically present for the Document verification during final admissions. Just pay the admission fee, fill up 2 forms, get your documents verified, get a hostel allotted, and shift there. All on the same day.

Every semester exams are conducted on the date according to the annual calendar. There is no delay in that whatsoever. The administration is very attentive to the smooth conduct of exams. You will get ample time after exams to do whatever you like. You need to study for the exams for sure. You can't cram your way into an 8-pointer. Study 1-2 weeks before the exams and be attentive in the classroom, that's all it takes.

Dell, Capgemini, Media.net, etc. came for internship. Most students go for off-campus internships, mostly in IT companies. The stipend is nice for most companies. It's the experience you gain that matters. You can also do project works right from the beginning of your college under professors. Most of them are IIT grads, so you will get good experience and superb guidance if you approach them properly. You can go for IIT internships by getting recommendations from your professors. If you are a dedicated and bright student, there are many good opportunities inside the college as well.

Placements are nice. Placement starts in the 7th semester. Some companies like Dell, Media.net, etc. do visit for an internship before this. 50+ companies visited this year. Everyone got at least 2 offers. List: Tekion, Dell, Siemens, Tiger Analytics, LTI, IBM, Capgemini, UKG, Informatica, etc. Just visit the placement website for info. The highest package offered off campus was 87LPA and on-campus 25LPA. Both are for software developer profiles. The average is around 8LPA for all the branches. You will be eligible for many companies as IT subjects are part of your curriculum irrespective of your branches. Around 95% placements. Some students went for higher studies and UPSC, GATE, CAT, etc., so they opted out. I am continuing with the company I was placed in.

The fee will increase slowly towards the final years. It completely depends on you how much fee you want to save. The administration is not that strict about fee collection. They don't mind if you are not submitting it on time. Just try submitting it on time. There are scholarships like GB(for academic achievers), and freeships for EWS candidates. On top of that SC/ST candidates and EWS candidates can also avail of scholarship in tuition fees as it is a govt institution.
