Good and enjoyable life on campus, along with our hard work.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and good at explaining concepts and are available in their departmental cabins most of the time if we have any doubts. They have good experience. Our course curriculum is good, and it keeps updating according to conceptual understanding and industrial requirements. But more than going with the curriculum, we have to do hard work in other skills also, our curriculum can't teach all skills. Our minds are medium, it's just based on concept and application.

It is a great platform for learning.

Faculty: Teachers here are highly qualified and professional. We are provided class notes along with assignments and tutorials. Along with these, we have well-equipped labs for the required courses. What I feel is that the common courses in the first year may not be relevant for all students, still, that is through the lens of a first-year undergraduate. The course curriculum is highly relevant and makes us industry-ready. The difficulty level of semester exams basically depends on the course and profess...

The campus has a classic environment, well-trained faculty, and good placements every year.

Faculty: Teachers are well-trained. Their tactics in designing exam papers are really awesome. Teaching is also good. They use the digital projector for displaying slides. They also use the smart board to explain. They will also update the course based on time and current situation to make students ready to face the competition in the industrial world with updated skills, somehow we learn them at least by clubs. The pass percentage is about 90-95 percent.

Great college with top faculty, strong labs, good facilities, and excellent placements.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. As I was studying CSE, the course was a little bit hard to study for the semester, as the exam papers tend to be difficult. When it comes to the pass percentage, almost everyone will pass. It's hard to score the highest marks in a semester, but it's okay to pass the semester.

Great opportunities, mixed hostel vibes, but worth it for the IIT tag.

Faculty: All faculty profs are super helpful and know their stuff. Teaching quality varies, but if you show interest, most teachers respond well. The curriculum is mostly relevant, especially for core subjects. It does help in placements and internships. Exams are conducted on time. The pass percentage is decent. If you study regularly, you're good. No last-minute surprises, but, some papers are tricky. Overall, the academic vibe is serious but not suffocating.

Decent college, but with some fundamental problems.

Faculty: Most of the teachers, almost all of them, are very well qualified with their post-graduation studies done from abroad or top institutions. Now, the helpfulness of the teacher tends to be a hit or a miss, but I have found that the odds of you getting a bad teacher are low-ish, at least for the first year, when we have common courses. The course is relevant, but you will still need to do things on your own to make sure you are not missing out on skills that the industry requires. The academics are...

Best IIT for opting for core fields.

Faculty: Faculty are very well qualified and knowledgeable, as it should be in IITs. Every faculty is supporting students where they need guidance. Curriculum are much relevant to modern technology, and the application of theories is well executed in labs. Semester exams are not easy if you do not study from the start. Those who prepare earlier get passes easily. The numbers would be 90%.
