Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum is decently structured according to the global academic and industry standards. The infrastructure and resources for Electronics & Communication Engineering and Faculty-Student ratio is also quite good at IIIT Allahabad. However, the excessively-hectic academic schedule and mismanagement in course coordination adds extra, unnecessary burden on students.
Internships Opportunities
Just like placements the institute does provide several internship opportunities as well, with many industry leading as well as newly established companies. In-campus internship opportunities are also available.
Placement Experience
The institute is famous for its near 100%placement records every year with decent packages for students with undergrad and Postgrad qualifications. All the industry leading companies come to the institute for hiring
Fees and Financial Aid
The fee structure at IIIT Allahabad is as per the national standard. For PwD students like myself, the tuition fee is also waived off. And the college helps you aquire various national, state or other scholarships.
Campus Life
There are many councils and societies dedicated to technical skill development and extra curricular activities like, Sports, Music, Dance, Literature, etc. On the technical culture part, the institute is a bit to oriented towards Computer Science / IT field only, because of which, students who are interested in core electronics may feel the absence of encouraging environment.
Hostel Facilities
There are 8 hostels in total, 5 for boys and 3 for girls. The hostel facilities are decent for boys with separate hostel for 1st year students to avoid incidents of ragging. However the as the number of female students is increasing every year, the 3 girls hostels are now running over-capacity where sometimes 3 girls have to share the same room which is only designed for 2 residents. The mess food is average in most hostels.
Admission
The admission at the Indian Institute of Information Technology happens through IIT-JEE Mains rankings through the regular process JOSAA/CSAB counselling. I got my admission under PwD-OBC reservation scheme of the government of India.
