Life of an IITK Student

Most specific aspect that influence the decision for course is the proffessor grading nature. But sometime it will also depend on your interest. Course structure is such that you will face some courses related to real life such as ethics, sustainability etc. I think courses must be oriented to the applications. As more theoretical knwledge is not enough to become a good engineer. Exams and Quizzes come very frequently. No. of quizzes depends on proffesor of a particular course. As for difficulty , if you read daily then you may feel these easy.
