Review of IIT Guwahati by a sophomore pursuing B.Tech in Energy Engineering.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, but some are really bad at teaching. Students might feel bored during their lectures, but that applies only to some teachers. The course curriculum is relevant to the industry. Talking about semester exams, they are pretty easy, with a decent pass percentage of around 80–90% or more.

You must join one of the premium institutes of India with world-class facilities.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Everyone has done their Ph.D., and this is the minimum criteria. They are very helpful and available for any kind of doubt, from personal life to course-related matters. They help out with any problem. The course curriculum is very relevant because companies come for direct roles by branch, and placements are above 85% for Power Engineering. Semesters are difficult. You have to work very hard to stand out in class. There is no fixed pass percentage. It is relativel...

It is a very good and satisfying college.

Faculty: Faculty members are well qualified, but not that good at teaching and explaining concepts. They are well approachable, and always eager to help students. First there is an exam, but after that there is only work like working on review articles, research papers, etc.

Review of IIT Guwahati's beauty in 2026.

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.

You have to qualify CSIR NET exam.

Faculty: The course curriculum is awesome here. There are many internal and external assessments. You would learn a lot after getting admission to IIT. They also train students for practical skills for an overall assessment. I don't know other departments, but the research facilities are good in the Chemistry department. They are also getting good publications. In my view, research facilities here are the best in comparison to other IIT's. The total number of professors is around 30 or more in the depart...

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.
