CSE and MNC courses in IIT Jammu are better than the IIT lower branches.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. For the teaching quality, I would rate 4 out of 5. The course curriculum in the 1st and 2nd semesters includes some courses that are not related to our branch. The main departmental courses start from 3rd semester, so students can trust the process. We should keep hustling side by side to develop other skills. Semester exams are too easy, and we can easily get an 8.5 SGPA by studying one night before exams.

The college is good considering academics, hostels, and placement in tech.

Faculty: The faculty members are well-qualified and easily approachable in most of the cases. However, in some courses, you have to study on your own. The course curriculum is similar to that of other IITs. The semester exam can range from very easy to very tough depending upon the professor. Approximately there is 85%-95% of pass percentage.

As this is a new IIT, the infrastructure is new, and the equipment is well-advanced.

Faculty: Some of the professors are good and help students after the lecture too, but some of the professors are not experienced enough to teach, and their behavior is also poor. The course curriculum is very relevant and is similar to other IITs. You can get a very good CGPA with only minimal effort, but there is a subject called calculus which requires a lot of effort to pass.

It's a great place to live in with an amazing infrastructure and growing tech culture.

Faculty: Majority of faculty members in the CSE department are good. They are very easily approachable since there are less number of students here compared to other IITs. Course curriculum is good, can be improved a bit, but it's okay, it makes students industry-ready if they are interested in tech. End sem exams are on the tougher side maintaining the standards of IIT, but going to class will help you a lot.

Getting an IIT itself is a big thing.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. They are well-qualified and have a lot of experience. What they teach is not able to get on YouTube and sometimes not even in books. They make us industry-ready. Exams are quite intuitive. It's not like you study everything and go for the exam. It's still possible that you won't be able to solve it.

An emerging 3rd-generation IIT with a good future.

Faculty: Faculty members are good, and the curriculum is manageable. However, the exam schedule is a bit tight, with class tests held before the midterm and end-semester exams. Calculus exams in the first semester are particularly challenging. Achieving an 8 CGPA in the first year is quite difficult.

Comprehensive, supportive, and growth-oriented college experience.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful except some and mostly are knowledgeable. Teaching quality is also very good. The course curriculum is relevant except some courses make students industry-ready. Some courses are difficult and some are moderate. Passing is approximately 25 to 30 out of 100.

The college has a good infrastructure including professional facilities.

Faculty: Faculty members are knowledgeable and experienced, but the teaching quality varies across subjects. Some professors are highly engaging, while others rely more on self-study. The curriculum is relevant but could be updated to include more industry-oriented skills. Semester exams are moderately difficult, and students need consistent preparation. The pass percentage is reasonable, but practical exposure could be improved for better career readiness.

One of the above average colleges in IIT Jammu.

Faculty: Whatever faculty members teach is not so much understandable to people who have language barriers like South Indian. I am a South Indian I personally think that teachers on Youtube teach way better than college teachers. So I always study on Youtube and attend classes only for attendance.

The institute has great infrastructure and facilities and is one of the well-emerging third-gen IIT.

Faculty: Teachers are top-notch and influential in their respective industries. The curriculum is relevant and prepares students for the real world. Semester exams depend on the professors, and their difficulty ranges from medium to hard. The pass percentage varies from 30% and also depends on the professor. Grading is most likely relative.

My great experience at IIT Jammu- A civil engineering student's perspective.

Faculty: Teachers in our Civil Engineering course at IIT Jammu are helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable. They explain concepts clearly and support students with doubts. Teaching quality is good, with a mixture of theory and practical learning. The course curriculum is relevant and covers industry-needed topics. But students need extra effort to be fully job-ready. Semester exams are moderate to tough, requiring regular study. The pass percentage is high, around 85-90%, so most students clear exams.
