Really beautiful campus- IITG.

Faculty: The difficulty of the course and its exams depends mainly on the professor. Some of them are very strict, some are lenient. The curriculum is relevant. First-year courses are mostly common. From the second year onwards, the courses related to your branch will be taught. The pass percentage is normally high.

College Life at India's Most Beautiful Campus.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is 1:12 - 1:15, with overall faculty interaction as decent, with many professors available for any kind of help. The institute has highly qualified faculty, especially in the teaching field. Each semester includes mid-term exams, end-term exams, with quizzes and assignments, and the difficulty range from moderate to high, but can be managed through consistency.

Faculty: The course curriculum is awesome here. There are many internal and external assessments. You would learn a lot after getting admission to IIT.

IIT Guwahati College review.

Faculty: The faculty was very active and had a lot of experience, and they treated all students the same. As you got further into the course, the subjects actually got more interesting. The exams can be a bit of a challenge, but 80% of the students still passed. Teachers were easy to talk to and were pretty impressive people.

IIT Guwahati College review.

Faculty: The teaching staff was decent, but you really had to show up to class if you wanted to do well. Most people passed, but the ones who skipped usually struggle. The syllabus setup could be better, so sometimes you have to do extra work on your own. The exams were about average, and you just need to keep up with the work.

Review of IIT Guwahati - Indian Institute of Technology.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified, and some even are PhD holders from top places like IITs or colleges in other countries. The teaching is okay, and teachers help when we have doubts. However, some of the stuff we learn feels a bit old for jobs that are out there now. Exams range from medium-hard level. About 80-90 percent of the class students pass exams.
