My IIT and research journey.

Placements: In my course, which is M.Sc. Physics most of the students go for higher studies like a Ph.D. In a batch out of 45 students, almost 60-65 percent of students go for a PhD. The rest who sit for placements get good placements. The highest package for my course is around 13 LPA. The lowest is around 5 LPA. Placements are usually in edtech like Akash, Nagarjuna, and other coaching institutes.

Good Infrastructure, placement and facilities.

Placements: AI branch at IIT Gandhinagar is still very new and our batch is only the third one, so there isn’t any past placement data only for AI. But IITGN overall has pretty strong placement record with around 85–90 percent and avg package near 18–20 LPA, so it gives some idea what to expect. Many big companies like Amazon, Google, Morgan Stanley, Flipkart and more visit every year. AI students will also likely get roles in software, data Science, ML and research since related branches already getting th...

My honest review about my college.

Placements: My batch had almost 25 students, out of which only 11 got placed in companies such as HCL, Tech Mahindra, etc. Packages ranged from 4.5 LPA to 12 LPA. Some mid-sized companies also came for campus recruitment and selected approximately 40% of students who appeared for interviews. The packages they offered ranged from 3 to 10 LPA.
