I will summarise by saying that our campus placements and infrastructure are very good.

Faculty: Faculty is also very caring and helps all students with wellness sessions if anyone wants personal or group sessions. Our wellness club is very well organised so that if a person is feeling lonely or depressed they can go there and share with faculty members to solve the problems.

Review of IIT Roorkee - Indian Institute of Technology.

Faculty: All my teachers have graduated from either IITs or from reputed institutions outside India. Many of them are active research paper workers. The course curriculum of all branches is highly recommended and relevant. Semester exams are a bit hard. If students have the basic and core knowledge of the subject, then they can perform well.

Review of IIT Roorkee - Indian Institute of Technology.

Faculty: Teachers of my department are highly educated and experienced. The teaching quality of all my department teachers is top-notch. All of them try to make us understand a topic in the best possible way. The course curriculum is obviously very much relevant. The students become highly industry-ready with this curriculum. The semester exams, according to me, are neither so easy nor so difficult. It brings me joy whenever they occur, and I feel they try to bring out the best in me. The passing percent...

Pros and cons to consider before taking admission in this college and choosing it.

Faculty: All the teachers are mostly from an IIT or have completed their Doctorate from a reputed foreign university, with a good amount of experience. They are helpful too, exceptions are there too. The curriculum keeps changing as per the requirements of the industry. Exams are really tough as we move forward in the course, even getting an average 7 SG takes a lot of hard work.

Amazing infrastructure and faculty, fully satisfied with my college.

Faculty: All professors are good and experts in their field. They teach well. After lectures, tutorial classes by a teaching assistant are held to solve discussion problems and doubts. Curriculum is up-to-date and makes one industry-ready as well as fit for higher studies.

Students will have a nice experience once in a lifetime with their colleagues and professors here.

Faculty: Some professors are quite good as they helped me if I had any doubts. Some professors are equally bad, like they just come and read from their PPT and even numericals, so I don't like these professors. At least all professors are PhD holders and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is updated every year to keep it relevant to the industry, but I can trust what they say and study. Semester exams are quite moderate, but what makes it difficult is the number of people grinding hard to score well.

Very great opportunities, totally worth it and an IIT tag.

Faculty: Every professor mostly has a Ph.D. from abroad, and many are even IIT graduates. They are extremely helpful and guiding. Curriculum is up to the mark with necessary tech courses like Data Science and Programming, and also the core courses, which keep us on par with mechanical engineering students. Exams are difficult but manageable with a greater than 90 percent pass percentage.

Vibrant college life that you'll remember for a lifetime.

Faculty: Professors are knowledgeable but can't deliver well enough to be understood by everyone. You have to learn from the side to be industry-ready, and it's possible as the peer group is supportive. 1st semester is common for everyone, so your understanding of Physics and Maths would decide toughness, then onwards, core courses decide, like GT has an easy course (as I listen from seniors). Most of the students pass, with around 2-3 percent having a backlog.

A beautiful campus that anyone would love.

Faculty: Faculty, except for a few, are not up to the mark. I mean, they have the knowledge, they are well qualified, but they usually lack the ability to explain it to the students properly. Only a few professors are good at this. The course curriculum is quite relevant, and the difficulty level was also quite good, considering the fact that we are IITians.

My college campus is very nice.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. Their teaching style is nice, but some teachers are not good, and their voice does not reach the back of the class. Semester exams are very difficult and not easy to pass. They are similar to previous year papers, and students cannot score well by studying only one night before.
