College is fun. Whatever you want, you will get in college. Just enjoy.

Faculty: Teaching, I can't say it is fully useful as it follows the old curriculum, which is not as useful for current industry needs. But the teachers are highly qualified and have a lot of knowledge. Semester exams are a mix of easy and tough exams. Some professors are very chill, and some are so strict that they fail half of the class.

College of dreams IIT Guwahati.

Faculty: Great professors, very helpful seniors, give guidance about the course and what mistakes to avoid. Teaching quality is fine, as at the end of the day, you have to study on your own to score marks. The course curriculum is very wide, starting from basic of electronics to electromagnetism, electric machines, communication, and covering all the topics from above.

It is far better than your thoughts.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified and knowledgeable as there are the professors in IIT. They also help us in various aspects. This course is relevant for students who want to pursue a job in the core sector. Semester exams are quite hard but not difficult. If you study 1 week before the exam, you will score well.

It is IIT and one of the top 7 in them, and it will not disappoint our expectations.

Faculty: Teachers are highly experienced, expert, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is good. The time management is also good. They provide enough time for personal and personality development. The course curriculum is just modified and also going to be further modified in the future, so that students can change according to the global requirements. More than 90 percent is the pass percentage for a semester, aside from supplements.

Gems of knowledge reside in the beauty of nature.

Faculty: Our professors were highly qualified and knowledgeable. They clear the concepts in a very easy way and also address students' doubts and listen to them. Teaching quality was very good. However, the subjects that were given to us are not relevant; for example, we had to study engineering mechanics, data science, and modern physics courses, and I don't think these courses are relevant to us. The calculus course was very tough. The pass percentage was only 50%, and half of the class failed.

The campus is aesthetic with quite interesting personalities around us.

Faculty: Professors sometimes feel too boring for us. Personally, I am often found sleeping during lectures. I also feel that the syllabus was a bit outdated. Since it was my first semester, most of the time I spent getting used to this new environment. The first semester was absolutely thrilling.

IIT Guwahati is a diamond that needs a jeweler.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified. When it comes to teaching, I don't find good faculty members. It is like finding gold in a dump of coal. Most of the courses are not relevant, and they don't make students industry-ready. Students out there learn with each other, which makes them industry-ready. Semester exams are like a piece of cake. I myself studied during the exams and got 7.15 CPI. The pass percentage varies according to teachers.

The most beautiful campus.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. They are always ready to help (except for a few rude ones). The curriculum is relevant. The exams are tough, especially in mathematics. Many people failed in that subject (especially people from lower branches such as Biosciences).
