All about IITR Electrical Engineering.
Placements: Most of the students got placed from my course. Around 80-90 percent of the students got placed. The highest package is around 1.5-3.67 crores per annum and the lowest package varies around 4-6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Google, Microsoft, and all. After 3rd year, some got interned and some chose different pathways.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. The hostel facilities are good, secured, and well-maintained. The mess food is not good. Each hostel room has different Wi-Fi routers, every hostel has its own canteen. If there is any medical emergency, there is also a small hospital on campus.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, but to pass the exam you have to do self-study. Semester exams are like normal if you study atleast 2 hours a day, you can clear them easily. Courses are not properly industry-based. The faculty members try to clear all basics, so it will be easy for you further.
Other: At a rank of JEE Advanced 3,000-4,000 you get this course. If the class burden could be reduced, it would be good so we can get more time for self-study.

I will summarise by saying that our campus placements and infrastructure are very good.
Placements: Placements are good. Almost all good MNCs come here and hire students. There are many branches and all students got placed if they make some efforts in a particular domain and some basic skills are also mandatory in a student's mind to handle questions.
Infrastructure: IIT Roorkee campus is very well maintained and has a very good environment among all Indian colleges. I prefer students to study hard and get admission in this college. This college is famous for the most beautiful building which is the James Thomson Building which is of white colour and was established in 1875.
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.
Placements: Overall, the placement percentage is around 70-80%. Placements are mostly dependent on the market conditions and demands. Teachers are assuming that by the end of 2030, the percentage may decrease by 5%. The average package offered ranges from 17-19 LPA. The highest package offered is 25 LPA. The major recruiters are Tata, ISRO, Google, Microsoft, Honda, L&T, Bajaj, etc. Roles like consulting, financing, etc., are offered here.
Infrastructure: The hostel has facilities like Wi-Fi, reading rooms, a recreation hall, etc. The old hostel is average, but the new one is top-notch. The educational buildings are very nice and well-spaced. Classrooms are suitable for all seasons. The canteen and mess food have improved quite a lot after the lockdown period.
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.
Placements: The placement is, I think, one of the best placements in the history of IITs. The average package here overall is 18-25 LPA. The mechanical average package is above 15 LPA. The highest goes up to above 40 LPA. You can assume that 50% of students choose core placement, while the other 50% choose non-core roles, like the IT sector. The core roles offered are design manager, manufacturing engineer, etc. The non-core roles offered are software engineer, finance, etc.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure of my department are better than those of other private colleges that promise to offer good education but fail to do so. The Wi-Fi is available and has decent speed across the campus. The classrooms are now updated to smart classrooms in some departments. The hostel facilities are available for both boys and girls separately. The mess food of the boys' hostel is good. I don't know about the girls' hostel. The medical facilities are also available, but I have not experienced them yet.
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 percentage is next to full.
Other: I chose this course at IIT because I have diverse options for my placement, and I love working with machines and learning new things about them.

Review of the IIT campus of Roorkee.
Placements: The placement of this IIT campus is extraordinary. The highest package for the mechanical branch is above 50 LPA. The average package is 15 to 18 LPA. The recruiting companies are Microsoft, Google and other top companies. The internship programme is available with a good stipend. The placement percentage is close to 100%.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure of my department are very nice. Labs get updated every year and are very neat and clean. The Wi-Fi is also excellent. The library is very huge. Hostels of the IITs are a bit old but have very good service. The mess facilities are good compared to other institutes.
Faculty: Faculty members of my branch are extraordinarily skilful and highly talented. All of my faculty members are very much active in the research work of the students and their own. The course curriculum of the mechanical branch is very relevant. Exams are very exciting. The pass percentage is above 90% overall.
Other: This is a campus of IIT, so there will be competition, but the aura and reputation of the campus are unmatchable.

Pros and cons to consider before taking admission in this college and choosing it.
Placements: Out of 120 students enrolled in my course, around 70 to 80 are placed at the end of the semester, the rest went for Master's, UPSC, or in other fields. The highest package of Chemical Engineering is around 55 LPA, the average is around 16-17 LPA, and the lowest is 8 LPA. Top recruiting companies are HUL, BPCL Dr Reddy's, Microsoft, Adobe, Infoedge, Urban Company, etc. Around 30 to 40 students got on-campus internships in companies like Amazon, Infoedge, Microsoft, and PayPal. Top roles offered are SDE, graduate engineer trainee, Business analyst, product manager, etc.
Infrastructure: The department and all the lecture halls have AC installed and a projector for teaching. The Wi-Fi speed is also quite good. Hostel rooms are also decent, and the mess food is also good, it has a variety of food options to eat from. In the first year, you get shared rooms, but after 1st year, you get single rooms. The hostels have a good vibe with 2 canteens and multiple small playgrounds.
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.
Other: I was getting this course and college at my rank, and I thought it was the best option for me because I could study chemical engineering and study for SDE roles side by side. Also, I wasn't so sure which field I had to choose, so I chose this to explore my interests and make a good network.
