Overall, it is the best college for a PhD in Chemistry course.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful but their teaching is not at all good. Students are not happy with teachers. Some teachers take 3-4 days leave in a week. Otherwise, the college is good. Semester exams are a little tough and the pass percentage is 57%.

Faculty: We have a different curriculum from all the IITs, which makes our IIT unique. Teachers are very knowledgeable, and if you go to them, they are always ready to help.

Excellent infrastructure and faculty members. Research culture is groundbreaking.

Faculty: Professors are very helpful and well-qualified. Their teaching style has a remarkable impact on students. The course is very relevant and focuses not only on theoretical study but also on practical learning, encouraging students to learn and implement what they have learned. Semester exams reflect what we have learned in the lectures, although exams are not that difficult. The relative grading policy makes it more challenging and encourages continuous learning.

IIT Gandhinagar short review.

Faculty: Exams here are quite tough as the professor here tries to check your understanding of the topic; therefore, if your basic understanding of the topic is not clear, you will not be able to score well in exams. We follow a 2-examination system followed by multiple quizzes during the semester. Also, there are some assignments which are also part of grading. Grading is totally dependent on the professor, and no one can comment on that. Mostly, the professor follows relative grading compared to absolu...
