Absolutely satisfied with IIT Palakkad.
Placements: IIT Palakkad had an impressive placement rate of 95%, and students had a variety of companies to choose from. Companies like JP Morgan, Deloitte, Hindalco etc. Many others arrived for student recruitment. Internships were provided by the college itself every year.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure here was excellent, and all facilities were available for students, including Wi-Fi, labs, a library, sports facilities, and medical services. The campus life was amazing, and all necessary amenities were provided to students. The food quality in the canteen was very good, with a variety of options available.
Faculty: Faculty members here were well-educated and quite experienced, but they were very rude. Their teaching methods were not effective, and students faced many difficulties in understanding the lessons. However, the course curriculum was relevant and helped make students industry-ready. Semester examinations required a lot of attention, and the passing percentage was above 40%.

Student from IIT Palakkad.
Placements: Only a limited number of students pursued an M.Tech in data science at IIT Palakkad each year. Also, nearly 82 to 90% of students got placed every year. The overall placement training provided to students was a step-by-step process, making the training easier.
Infrastructure: Students from various localities, habitations, and races lived similarly without any differentiation or discrimination. The campus was very good, with parking facilities, a lounging mess, transportation, and accommodation. There were specialized laboratories with air-conditioned classrooms.
Faculty: The schedule for examinations was unannounced, occurring once a month. Preparing for examinations, writing exams, validating papers, and then preparing for the next exams was the routine for academic excellence that happened in our college. Every student's status was communicated to their parents by the class charge.

Quite disappointed with the facilities.
Placements: The percentage of the students who are placed in my course is 55%. The highest package is 10 LPA, and the average package is 6 LPA. The lowest package is 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Wipro, Capgemini, and TCS. Many students also got internships.
Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure and facilities available for our course are average. Classrooms and labs are outdated and getting old. The hostel rooms are small and comfortable. The quality of food available in the mess and canteen is hygienic. No time to play sports.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and experienced. They always help students in classes and on the campus. The teaching quality is awesome. Curriculum activities only happen at the start of semester. The semester exams are difficult and have to study a whole year to score.

Promising placements with good infrastructure.
Placements: Placement rates are high, close to 90%. The highest package that you can get is close to 18 LPA, the lowest is 3 LPA, and the average is 8 LPA. Top recruiters include Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. About 70% of students secure internships at companies like IBM and Infosys. The top roles offered are data scientist and data analyst.
Infrastructure: Our college has excellent facilities and infrastructure for students, including Wi-Fi, state-of-the-art labs, modern classrooms and a well-stocked library. The hostel amenities are good, with decent food in the mess and canteen. Medical facilities and sports grounds are available on the campus.
Faculty: Teachers here are knowledgeable and qualified but support varies. The curriculum is relevant but needs an update for industry readiness. Semester exams are challenging, with a moderate pass percentage requiring diligent preparation. Overall, I would rate it 3 stars.

Not able to tolerate the professors activities.
Placements: Considering it was a realistic emerging scope, there will be massive offers available for the specific disciplines, with the top offers of 17.8 LPA. Companies like MathWorks, Adobe, and Morgan Stanley are ready to hire. The students from this academic background. One of the demanding courses with the best offers.
Infrastructure: College officials provide seats to the students based on both direct admission and merit admission. All their activities were officially published on their official website, keeping them updated on the social platform. The Institute had consistently been a part of preparing young talent for the nation.
Faculty: Professors rule the college, they take all things more casually, which seems they show little interest in the education standards of students. Professors exaggerate even small issues to the biggest ones, which creates anxiety in the minds of the students.

    Hello Krishnan Unni, I don't think IIT Palakkad has announced any cutoffs for their MTech courses. This is also corroborated by the fact that a recent report stated that hundreds of seats are lying vacant in IITs for MTech and Ph.D. However, to help you I am attaching a link that will give you all t
