What Students Say
Likes
- Faculty are very supporting and experienced. You can approach them for everything and they will support you without judging as long as you dont have lame doubts or requests
- The environment is not really competitive and everyone support each other. The senior's are really good and supportive and arrange many events for the freshers. There is no raging and everyone are really friendly.
- The food tastes good for a hostel. Its not the best but its better than many other engineering hostels mess food out there.
Dislikes
- I disliked the hostel allotment. They are not in a good condition, especially old hostels and the new ones are very conjusted. Rooms are very small and 2 people are seated in a single bed room.
- The hostel infrastructure is really old and ceilings paint falls off, all sofas and tables are in bad condition and club rooms are dusty and unclean.
- Everything gets clogged during rain in hostels. Management at hostels is not really nice. Hostel lawns and cycle stand get flooded and it makes it really uneasy for the students to go out of the hostel.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum covers all branch courses in first year. Every student has to have the basics of EE, Mech, Chem, Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Your branch doesnt decide your placement and you can go to any stream you have interest in and find your carrer in that path. You can also take minor degrees and have 2 or more degrees for example: EE and CSE minor, Mech and CSE minor etc. You are also allowed to change your course in first year. The curriculum and courses are kind of overloaded though so its stressful. But all this, allows you to learn better skills and have an edge in interviews and placements.
Internships Opportunities
Internships are provided from top tech and quant companies like Microsoft, Jane street, Amazon, Facebook, and many others. The OCS (Office of Career Services) handles all the placements and your resume, so all you need to worry about are your interviews and skills. Learn more, achieve more. Stipend depends on company and work you are doing and has a very wide range.
Placement Experience
People are eligible for placements in internships after 2nd year. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Air India, and some quant companies like Jane street too come here to offer internships. Around 80 to 85 percent get placed every year, minimum package being around 7 to 8 lakhs usually Last year 87 placements of 1 Cr and above were made (both external and internal combined)
Fees and Financial Aid
Hostel mess = 70000 per yr Hostel Seat rent = 15000 per yr Tuition fees = 240000 per year For OBC/Gen/Others : Salary above 5 lakh annum = Full tuition fees Salary between 1 to 5 lakh per annum = 50% of tuition fees Salary below 1 lpa = 25% tuition fee For SC /ST/PwD 25% of the tuition fees SBI IITD provides a 0% interest loan till you graduate and an interest of 7% after your graduating term is finished. This loan can be for your laptop and fees or any of your legible needs. Other banks may provide a low interest loans too. Due to the 0% interest loan, I d say its really affordable for anyone. But, hostel fees are high.
Campus Life
2 tech festivals and one main festival are held in iIT Delhi The main festival, Rendezvous is the largest fest of North India and attrached over 1.5 lakh people. It has many events, anything you can think of and pronites call bug singers like Diljit and Alan Walker for performances. Its a really huge fest. For freshers, speranza and BRCA nights are arranged by all the clubs which entertain the freshers woth competitions and shows. They also call a stand up comedian for these. Clubs present here are more than 50, including Dance, Fashion, Music, Robotics, Coding, Economics, Design, and many more. The facilities here and skills provided by these are really helpful. Here, sports plays a huge role. General championships are here for both freshers and overall and it has a huge impact in hostel points. More than 40 sport events are held including atheletics, hockey, cricket, any ball games you can think off (except baseball), and many others.
Hostel Facilities
Meal quality is better than other college hostels. Infrastructure is not good in old hostels. The ceiling gets soaked during rains and the paint may fall off. The 8 ball pool table and table tennis facilities are present but not in good condition. The room are very small and conjusted due to the small size and huge strength. The college grades down due to the hostel maintainence.
Admission
IIT Delhi is second most renowned colleges for Engineering in India. Its placements and entrepreneurship oppurtunities are comparable to that of IIT Bombay. Admission here requires: Having a boards percentage of 75+ Qualifying in jEE Mains Clearing the cutoff and obtaining a rank required for the particular branch you are interested in (Changes every year and depends on others interests, cutoff ranks for IIT Delhi is really low) For CSE, the rank for Gen category is around 110 this year.
Faculty
Faculty are very experienced and supportive. They help you with any proper doubts you have or any help you need in the course, as long as they sense efforts from your side. Seniors also help you and guide you really well, mentors are also alloted for every student to help them through their first 2 years. Exams are tough and courses are stressful but the grading is relative so just put more effort that others and you ll be fine. Try to be regular to classes and revise them immediately and dont clog up the syllabus. I'd give academic facilities and faculty a solid, but considering other perspectives like stressful courses and very tough exams, degrade one point.
