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 Course curriculum is a bit outdated but they are changing it for our juniors.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.

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%.

Satisfied & amazed by the awesome infrastructure, but would have loved some more greenery on campus.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, friendly, and supportive. The exams are quite regular, along with weekly assignments for some courses. The evaluation depends completely on the professor. The curriculum is very well-designed and sufficient for students to be ready for a job in the civil industry. The semester exams are of medium difficulty, and the pass percentage varies due to the relatively grading pattern.

IITH is one of the best campuses for research and it is the fastest-growing IIT.

Faculty: Teachers teaching quality is good. They provide good knowledge if we focus. The course curriculum is also good. Here the semester runs by the segment-wise system which is too good. If anyone wants further details then they can visit the IITH website. If we focus on the classes the semester exams will be easier.
