A complete review of IIT Palakkad, Is worth it.

Placements: Every year, mostly 92% of students are placed at IIT Palakkad. Many companies visit colleges, like TCS, Infosys, etc. The academics here are good, and they teach very well on the basic topics so that everyone on campus understands the concepts perfectly.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure here is decent and follows Kerala's tradition, which makes it look perfect. The environment around the college is evergreen, so we get fresh air that refreshes our minds and gets relief from stress. Hostels are also good and offer facilities for playing table tennis and other indoor games.

Faculty: In terms of faculty, they are highly qualified in their respective fields and teach excellently. We can approach them anytime during college hours to clarify any doubts. The exams are not difficult if you study hard, but studying one week before exams doesn't help.

Good faculty and staff, decent placements, "85% attendance is mandatory."

Placements: The highest package and average package for B.Tech placements is 41.6 LPA and 15.88 LPA respectively. For CS Department, the highest package is 41.6 LPA and median stood 15 LPA. Placement percentage is 79.07%. For Mechanical Department, the highest package is 20 LPA and median stood 10 LPA. Placement percentage is 76.67%. For Civil Department, the highest package is 20 LPA and median stood 6.28 LPA. Placement percentage is 57.89%. For Electrical Department, the highest package is 36.72 LPA and median stood 15 LPA. Placement percentage is 63.89%.

Infrastructure: Pros: About classrooms and lecture halls, they are air-conditioned, have projectors, and sufficient space. About computer labs, it is free for everyone (except class timings), even at night. The computer labs have 32GB RAM and 11th Gen i7 Intel processors. High-speed Wi-Fi is available in the campus area and hostel rooms. About Mess, the food is good with many varieties. The food is more North Indian in taste and less spicy. If you don't like the mess food, there is a canteen where you can eat anything of your choice but you have to pay for it. There is also a bus facility to help students and professors reach the required destinations both inside the campus and in Palakkad city. The sports facilities are still growing and are actively participated in by many, you will enjoy them on the lush green campus. There are libraries in both campuses, and if you don't find a book in one library, you may get it in the other library. Cons: There are two campuses, Nila and Sahyadri, almost 2 km apart. Some classes are in the Nila campus and others in Sahyadri. You need to catch the bus, and sometimes the buses are full, so you either wait for the next bus or come by walking. Surviving in this college is hard as you need 85% attendance and will be flooded with assignments. Manage your time well.

Faculty: The faculty here are really helpful and friendly. Yes, about the teaching part, they teach well, but you will be flooded with assignments and homework. The course curriculum is not completely relevant; you need to learn some skills by yourself, especially soft skills. About assignments and semester exams, they are moderate to tough, so you need to study well.

Other: One thing is, being a new IIT, the clubs here are active so you can make sure you join them in the 1st year and explore and find your interest.

Decent college for a third generation IIT.

Placements: Due to recurrence, there's been a drop in placement rates. But last year, our seniors got almost a 100th place percentage. The average package was 15 LPA and the highest package is around 50 LPA. Internships are also average. 50 percent of the students got internship offers.

Infrastructure: The campus is still under construction. So we cannot expect a good campus Hostels are average. But food needs to be improved. Hostels have Wi-Fi and classrooms are also good. A library is also available. Institute clinic is also available. Infrastructure, of course, is good.

Faculty: The faculty is good but they are not very experienced. The first year is full of irrelevant courses, just like any engineering college. Teaching quality is good. Evaluation is done continuously, which is good. Semester exams are difficult at times but usually score well. Almost everyone can pass the semester.

Other: I am interested in data science, so I chose this college.
