I liked the faculty very much.

Placements: A minimum of 60% marks are required for campus placement. There are many companies visiting the campus, like Cognizant and Dr. Reddy, with the highest package of 15 lacs per year and 80% of students are getting placement. My plan after getting a degree is to go into the biotech industry.

Infrastructure: IIT Roorkee provides accommodation for students with separate wings or blocks for boys and girls. Each student is typically provided with a single room or shared room, depending on availability. Each hostel has its own mess facility, providing meals to the residents. The mess serves a variety of food options catering to different dietary preferences. Hostels have common areas where students can socialize, study, or relax during their free time. These spaces may include TV rooms, reading rooms, and recreational areas. Most hostels are equipped with internet connectivity to facilitate academic and research-related activities. Sports and Gym Facilities: Many hostels have indoor sports facilities, and some even have gyms to promote physical fitness among the residents. Hostel Committees: Each hostel has its own student committee responsible for organizing various cultural, sporting, and academic events within the hostel. Hostel Fee: INR 70000 per year

Faculty: In the current scenario, biotechnology could be found in every medical-related technique. So, in my personal opinion, doing a masters would be better in interdisciplinary subjects than in core subjects. There are 5 permanent professors and the student strength is 30. So, the teacher-to-student ratio is 1:6. All the professors hold a postdoctoral degree with several years of teaching and research experience. There are 4 semesters in 2 years. If one attends the classes on a regular basis, then getting pass marks is very easy as it's a home university. Class size:-56 The course costs INR 230000 per year.

I am satisfied with the faculty members on campus but not placements.

Placements: Placements in our college are not so good. In the previous year, out of the batch of 30 students, only four got placed in four different companies. The average salary package offered was 8 LPA to 12 LPA, but it varies year-wise. Most of the students are pursuing a Ph.D. degree after M.Sc., but in the case of B.Tech and M.Tech, the chance of getting placed in a company is relatively high.

Infrastructure: The entire campus is well-equipped with a Wi-Fi network, and we have a central library as well as the departmental library and the central library remains open 24X7. On the campus there are 12 hostels among which 4 are for girls and 9 are for boys, and also there are 3 guest houses for the stay of any outsider.

Faculty: All the faculty members conduct classes regularly, and their way of teaching is excellent. Students of any level can catch it easily and backbenchers also understand well. The syllabus depends on home modern scientific approaches and their application in today's life. Sometimes they also teach us current research papers and series. Even they give valuable advice regarding our future career and do counseling of students.

Other: I opted for this course because of my interest in the science field and I especially like the biotechnology field. The college organises many events, there are like Thomso, as a culture festival, Sangram as a sports fest & Cognisance as Tech Fest.

Review of IIT Roorkee - Indian Institute of Technology.

Placements: No companies in our field visit our campus to hire students until now. However, we can opt for placements in some companies of other fields like data science, where all students can participate. In the previous batch, only five students out of 30 students got placed with an average package of 9 LPA. There is a common placement cell for all students.

Infrastructure: All hostels, department buildings, library, etc., are well-furnished, well-equipped and modernized. The campus is equipped with Wi-Fi and high- speed Ethernet connections. Labs and classrooms were decent and equipped with central air-conditioners, projectors etc. Hostel rooms are fine. I am not facing any issues regarding the infrastructure of the college.

Faculty: The institute provided students with well-experienced, knowledgeable and post-doctoral faculty members. Faculty have a decent teaching standard. Each teacher has their own way of teaching. There was no industry exposure due to the course curriculum, and syllabus needs to be updated.

I am satisfied with faculty members and campus but not placements.

Placements: There are no placements in the core companies. If you are expecting placements, you have to apply in non-core companies. The average salary package offered in non-core companies is 8-9 LPA. You get stipend during your M.Sc. course, i.e., Rs. 5,000 per month. There is a placement cell, but it is not that effective.

Infrastructure: Labs are well-equipped with new instruments. Classrooms are air-conditioned. They provided RO drinking water facility. LAN and Wi-Fi speed is very fast. The quality of the food is also good. Hostels are quite nice and proper cleaning is maintained. The library is quite huge.

Faculty: Professors in our college are very helpful and qualified. Teaching quality is traditional, and many times, they use PPTs. The course curriculum is also well-designed, and it is helpful for exams like CSIR-NET, GATE. Research-oriented learning is the main motive behind their teachings.

Other: The college organises many events. There are fests like Thomso, as a cultural fest, Sangram as a sports fest and Cognisance as tech fest.
