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

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.

It has good placements and infrastructure.

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 The course curriculum is relevant and not as outdated as other IITs.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.

The best campus life in India.

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 co...

Do your best hardwork to get into IIT.

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 em...

IIT Hyderabad is a good college.

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 s...

Review of IIT Hyderabad College.

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.

Faculty: Teaching is excellent, and they have mostly done their Ph.D. in IIT. Professors at IIT Hyderabad are highly knowledgeable and always helpful. They clear the doubts of the students at any time in the class. And the exams are above average in terms of difficulty.

My review about this college.

Faculty: Faculty members had been excellent in molding the students in various streams of specialisations. They had been trained from old IITs so that being a new IIT we were not missing that experience and expertise from the professors and faculty members. They had been really good job teaching with their experience. For 2 years, there were 4 semesters. All the exams also had lab exams as part of end-semester exams. Lab activities included, programming, coding, machine learning, digital signal processin...

Awesome infrastructure and faculty members.

Faculty: Most teachers are helpful, especially when you want to do projects and learn more things under their tutelage. The course curriculum is pretty updated and gives a lot of time for individual learning. The resources for the courses are many. Exams usually depend on the professors, as their grading scheme. The syllabus is the deciding factor for the CGPA.

Good infrastructure, faculty and facilities, but limited core placements in mechanical.

Faculty: Teaching quality is very good and faculty is helpful and you can do projects under them. Course curriculum is a bit outdated but they are changing it for our juniors. Here it is fractal academics so the grading policy depends on the instructor. Apart from one or two instructors most of them are not much strict.

Indian Institute of Technology has the best architecture.

Faculty: Faculty members are nice for the chemical engineering branch as if they have experience of around 20- 35 years. They graduate from different IITs and Ph.D. scholars are more. I would say that the faculty members of the chemical engineering branch are the best. IITs stand on its own.

My experience in college is good. Everything is fine with no remarks.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and they give a lot of knowledge to us. The teaching quality is good. The curriculum is relevant to us. The semester is okay a little bit tough. We should get more than 50% in exams to pass. Teachers who teach us were highly qualified ones.

IIT Hyderabad: The Dream College.

Faculty: The faculty of IIT Hyderabad are qualified and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is also relevant. The examination pattern is that of a typical engineering college and happens in three phases mid-seems, end-seems, and quizzes. Out of 100 students, roughly 4-5 people get back. So the pass percentage is nearly 95%.
