Detailed information of institute.

Placements: Placement is definitely less when we compare it with other courses like engineering. Our senior batch strength is 30 students, and all are placed with at least one offer. Eight students cracked state or central government civil service exams and got government jobs. Before placement, we all received internship opportunities. Consulting firms such as EMSI, Brain, BCG, and McKinsey, along with many NGOs and financial firms, came for hiring. A few students pursued Ph.D. studies, but in the end, 100% of the students were placed.

Infrastructure: IITG campus can be rated as the most beautiful campus in India. They spent 1 crore for beautification, including greenery, water bodies, and mountains. The internet speed on campus is very fast; 4K videos play without any buffering. There are many clubs that actively participate in events like hackathons, music, dance, etc. The library is well-furnished and has almost all books. The downside is that some people may bully students who are emotionally weak, which can lead to others being downgraded. Each hostel room is shared by two people. The mess food is repetitive and not very tasty, and the hostel rooms have a lot of mosquitoes. The food is not spicy; I miss spicy food. Hostel rules are very strict.

Faculty: Professors in IITG are highly talented; every faculty member has completed their Ph.D. The professors can be rude and strict, requiring proper discipline. The course schedule is very hectic. In the first two semesters, the syllabus includes 3 core subjects and 2 elective subjects. In the last two semesters, it includes 2 core subjects, 2 elective subjects, and 1 project. For the first year, the credit pattern is 36+36 credits per semester, and for the last year, it is 44+44 credits per semester. Exams are difficult, with mostly conceptual questions.

Other: It is very tough to get into IIT. I am grateful that I got admission here. A lot of preparation and good marks are required. I think IIT doesn’t need any additional reason; the IIT tag itself is a source of pride.

A great hard course with great placement. Next CSE branch potential, hard to get admission.

Placements: This is relatively a new branch but has a great scope of placements and internships. In recent years, good amount of students have secured their early internships and placements from this branch. It is comparable to Computer Science engineering and foster's a potential of being the Next pumped-up sector and branch.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the campus is really beautiful and is surely a beauty. You can roam around the campus without getting bored and still be in awe. The hostel infrastructure although might not be that great but still it is good enough to spend a great campus life with your friends .

Faculty: The curriculum is updated as it is a new branch and can foster the needs of current world in job profiles. It provides all the necessary skills for a Computer Science student is expected to have with additional benefit of algorithm designing and knowledge of finance .

Other: It's hard to get into this branch as there is tough competition during the process of admission and even the course becomes hard in further coming years, making it hard to score marks.

It's absolutely good, environment is good and ofcourse the most beautiful campus.

Placements: In my branch, 50% have been placed till phase 1 for the 2024 batch. Overall, placement is not good for this batch, mainly due to the recession and some politics carried out by the placement coordinators who are from the 4th year. They favor their own friends for interviews and provide assistance to them during tests.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is really good; at most places, you will get Wi-Fi. The library is also excellent. It's very comfortable reading in the library. The classroom is good, facilities are good—everything is good. In the hostel, you will get sufficient washing machines and a water cooler on each floor.

Faculty: Faculty in my department is good; they are supportive. Most of them give good grades compared to professors in other departments. Many of us from our branch pursue roles like software or non-teaching roles. Being in this branch gives them sufficient time to prepare as the courses are not so hectic. Semester exams are easy; almost everyone passes, but exceptions are everywhere.

Other: This course is really beneficial. You can achieve a good CPI when you are in this branch. If you are in a branch other than CSE/MNC/EEE/ECE, then most probably you will be preparing for a non-core role. However, when your branch is CST, you will get enough time for your preparation.

Great campus, curriculum not updated according to modern needs, Lovable campus life, A hyped up tag.

Placements: IIT Guwahati mechanical department has been given a lot of awards for having a high passing percentage of students. Its placement statistics are also good enough. The average package is around 10 to 15 LPA with top recruiters being TATA, Mahindra, Bajaj, In core, etc. With roles of design engineer, project manager, production engineer etc.

Infrastructure: The campus of IIT G is known for its beauty. You can see swans around and every hostel has its own stationary and juice centre. It has an impressive library and bus services that are available for travel around the city. Sports complex fulfill all the requirements and medical facilities are free.

Faculty: Teachers and professors of IIT Guwahati are highly qualified with Ph.D. degree in their respective major. The curriculum although I feel is less relevant to the current scenario as it does not teach modern technology and follows its conservative approach to the corporate world. Thereby, we can see a lack of modern skills in students and their way of coping up with job profiles.

Other: I choose this course because I have a bleak interest in aerospace and this course provided a perfect broader spectrum. Also it is a perfect balance between branch and college. The fests here are great and enjoyable. The highlight of the calendar anyways is the General Championship Competition as it teaches many things and inculcate hostel spirit and gives a real-life feel of films like Chichore and 3 idiots.

Pumped in my first year and eagerly waiting for the future.

Placements: This year placements are good in our branch; according to what the seniors and the pros told us, 5 members got 1CR+, and the average package is also in the range of 30 lakhs, which is pretty hefty. Mathlib, Amazon, and Google are some of the major companies recruiting on our campus .

Infrastructure: Hostels are pretty good but the food that is available in the hostel mess is not so good so most of the time I have to eat extra in the mess. The canteen food will be good and the medical facilities and sports facilities are well-mannered. We can use the resources and gain from them.

Faculty: Since I only studied in my first year, I don't know about my core subjects, but they gave me a glimpse of every one in my first year, which makes things easy. The semester exam for MS is somewhat tougher than at other non-IIT colleges. In my first year, it was relatively easy to grade, so there will be no such thing as a pass percentage .
