Placements are good but half of the placements are in non-core companies as people prefer to work in the IT sector with high salary packages.

Good infrastructure, placements, faculty, campus life, and learning environment for students.

Placements: Nearly 70-80% of recent passouts got placed. I am not sure about the highest and the lowest packages in our batch. We got Nvidia, Texas, and many more top-level companies. 60-70% of our senior batch got internships. Not sure about top roles, but various types from management to core, including software and IT.

Infrastructure: We have proper Wi-Fi for all the students and faculty in academic areas, including classrooms, the library, labs, and a guest Wi-Fi for our guests. For internet in hostels, we have Ethernet LAN connections for each room. Every room has a bed, chair, and table for each student and a proper space for items to be kept in. They have two canteen areas with proper maintenance, a hospital inside the campus, with a medical store giving discounts to students. We have SNCC, a huge area dedicated to sports and cultural activities.

Faculty: Teachers are well knowledgeable. Teaching quality is higher than expected. The course curriculum of our batch was very good, as we skipped many irrelevant common courses and started the core subject from the first year. Semester exam toughness depends on the student and the faculty. Passing criteria depend on the faculty.

Other: I am interested in signal and electronic devices, so I took electrical engineering. Everything mentioned, like Events, Fests, Campus crowd ate very well, and brings joy for new students to join the campus.

The best campus life in India.

Placements: 4 out of 9 students (44%) got placed on campus. Top recruiting companies were FITJEE, Akash, and Gatik Junior College. The top roles offered were faculty. The highest package was 8 LPA, the lowest package was 5 LPA, and the average package was 6.5 LPA. Internship percentage is 0%. Additional Information: our batch strength was 19, but only 9 of them appeared for placement. No one got an offer for a data scientist, data analyst, SDE, etc., role from our batch. All of the 4 students placed (including me) were placed into coaching institutes.

Infrastructure: It is undoubtedly one of the best campus of India. Stepping into the campus, feel less like India and more like Japan. Unlike most of the other IITs, IIT Hyderabad gives a single room to each of the students from the first semester itself. Each hostel room had a radiant cooling system. The hostel facility was also very good. The departments were well-equipped with labs, Wi-Fi, library. There were two messes. The foods were above average. Canteens were always open. Medical facilities were also there. You will get free treatment and free (or heavily discounted) medicine. The sports complex was top-notch.

Faculty: Most of the teachers were helpful. They cared for the students. The course was good, but there were some problems. For both the Mathematics and Mathematics & Computing courses, the same courses were offered in the first two semesters. Most of those courses were more aligned towards mathematics than computing. If you want a good job, then you cannot rely solely on the course. You have to do it on your own. The semester exams were moderate. You have to work harder for getting good grade in this course than in other M.Sc. courses at IITH. The pass percentage was 100%.

Other: If anyone wishes to pursue M.Sc. in mathematics and computing from some IIT, then this course is definitely worth considering. Moreover, IITH became the 7th best college of India in the NIRF ranking as the first-ever new IIT to achieve this. So the tag of IITH also matters in India as well as abroad. That is why all of our batch mates got settled off campus after completing the course. One thing that can be improved in this course is that some more industry-oriented subjects should be added. There is no complaint about the campus life. That is unforgettable.

It has good placements and infrastructure.

Placements: Over 60 percent of students get placed in our college. The highest package offered is 2.5 crores per annum from Optiver. The average package offered is 25 LPA. Placements in the circuital branch are a little better than in non-circuital branches. The rest is good and not bad.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good, and we cannot complain. Labs are very nice and have all the equipment. There is Wi-Fi on the whole campus. The hostel is also very nice and clean. There are nice rooms in the hostel and hot water facilities. It is good.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members in the institute are very nice and have a high level of knowledge. Some faculty members are bad, but mostly it is fine. The course curriculum is relevant and not as outdated as other IITs. The inclusion of AI in the courses is taking place as we speak.

Do your best hardwork to get into IIT.

Placements: Placements were very good. Almost all students get placed. Most of my friends got placed. Mostly students were placed in different top universities as associate professors. Some students were getting internships from foreign countries like Japan, Russia, the UK, USA universities. Good internship opportunities were available for all branches. You can receive information regarding these from the Office of Career Service OCS IITH. A lot of Japanese companies hire from here.

Infrastructure: Libraries were the best. They look like fictional libraries any reader would just love. Almost all genres were available. There was online checking facility of availability of books. Seating spaces were very creative specially crafted for studying and peaceful work. Classrooms were very good. Air conditioning, projectors, TV, stepped platform, etc. The premises are very friendly. There is a gym and track and all facilities separately for each sport. Track for running, basketball court, tennis court, football ground, cricket ground, closed and open, open running track, closed running track, volleyball court etc separately.

Faculty: The course curriculum was very good compared to other colleges but the way it was executed has to be improved. This was a new course so there are many difficulties. Exam patterns were decided by the faculty in charge of each course. Most of them follow a pattern where there was a mid semester exam and a final exam. Faculty to student ratio was kind of neutral. There were a lot of faculty members and a lot of students. I do not know the correct number but the campus was neither overcrowded nor empty.

IIT Hyderabad is a good college.

Placements: From the 7th semester, students are eligible for campus placements. Some companies that visit the college are Samsung Research, Adobe Research, and Intel. The highest package offered this year is 90 LPA, and the average package offered is 23 LPA. The percentage of students who get placements is 74.90 percent. I am still trying to figure out whether to do higher studies or to do a job. Wipro and Suzuki provide many internship opportunities. Many consulting companies also come to the college. Developing ourselves must be our priority after joining the college because there are so many opportunities for students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is the most beautiful and best thing I liked. All buildings have a form of Japanese infrastructure. The maintenance of the hostels is so poor. The food in the mess is not very good. It is not so spicy, and mainly, South Indians don't like the food. The library is very good and very accessible. All classrooms are well-equipped with projectors and screens for easy and good learning.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is about 1:14. The faculty and student relationship is so good. All faculty members encourage students to interact with them in class hours and also provide facilities to meet them in the office. There are many assignments that helped me understand the topics well. Most of the first-year courses do not prepare us for real-world applications. The course curriculum should be modified so that students will be well prepared for real-world applications, and teaching the same old traditional courses wouldn't help us. The frequency of exams is good enough, but the difficulty level is high.

Review of IIT Hyderabad College.

Placements: Honestly, the campus placements here are fantastic. If you have skills, it's pretty straightforward to get placed with a decent package. We're talking about a 100% placement rate because more than enough companies are coming to our campus. It's not unusual for a student to end up with two job offers. The highest and the lowest packages vary by branch, but I'd say the top package can reach up to 50 LPA, while the lowest sits around 15 LPA-16 LPA.

Infrastructure: In spite of the college's overall infrastructure being just alright, the campus-wide Wi-Fi, well-used labs, comfortable classrooms, and extensive library become a great source of satisfaction. The vast array of textbooks and other materials available on campus removes the necessity for students to buy many of the resources from outside. Students can also avail themselves of transportation and on-campus housing facilities in case they do not have their own vehicles. The mess is clean, and if we talk about the food menu, it is quite good, but if more items of students' choice are introduced, it will surely be beneficial.

Faculty: Faculty here always excel, but they do their job well. First year teaching was very similar to high school, which made the change quite easy. The yearly tests are not too hard. The college also recognized academic successes and took special care to award the highest achievers.
