It is the topmost institute in India. This review doesn't need titles.

Placements: IITs attract top companies that offer lucrative job opportunities in many fields, with maximum salary packages between 5 crores per annum and a minimum of 35 lakhs per annum. Additionally, there are plenty of internship opportunities and many more chances to explore big industrial fields.

Infrastructure: Our college has an academic complex divided into departments. Our Biotech department facilities and infrastructure are really good, giving a positive vibe and looking good. There are about 12 hostels in this college. The mess food at my hostel is excellent, served three times a day. There is a separate hospital for students where all kinds of medicines are available free of charge.

Faculty: Just by listening carefully, tempting the exam, and acting accordingly, you can ensure that you are well-prepared and industry-ready. The quality level of semester exams should be moderate or difficult, as you know about IIT's questions. The key to success is hard work and keeping your curriculum relevant. The pass rate is also quite satisfactory.

Other: The biggest fests and events of IITs are hosted here. The environment of the campus gives you too much satisfaction.

Review of IIT Guwahati - Indian Institute of Technology.

Placements: Employment after graduation was hard. You can grab a good salary package after completing masters. Internships were also offered in biotech companies or pharma companies. From the 5th semester onwards, we were eligible for campus placements. Around 75% of students got placed in biotech companies. Few students were also selected by Deloitte.

Infrastructure: Hostels were available on our campus but were not huge. The food served in the mess was good. They served food twice a day. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals were available. Wi-Fi was also decent.

Faculty: Faculty members were good, and they guide us properly towards our goals. The teaching method was good. Semester exams were conducted after every 6 months. The difficulty level of exams was moderate. If students study properly then they can easily score good marks.

Other: I chose this course because it provided a broad spectrum that connects biology with technology. This field gives us a chance to come up with new ideas and become an entrepreneur.
