Detailed information of institute.

Placements: Placement is definitely less when we compare it with other courses like engineering. Our senior batch strength is 30 students, and all are placed with at least one offer. Eight students cracked state or central government civil service exams and got government jobs. Before placement, we all received internship opportunities. Consulting firms such as EMSI, Brain, BCG, and McKinsey, along with many NGOs and financial firms, came for hiring. A few students pursued Ph.D. studies, but in the end, 100% of the students were placed.

Infrastructure: IITG campus can be rated as the most beautiful campus in India. They spent 1 crore for beautification, including greenery, water bodies, and mountains. The internet speed on campus is very fast; 4K videos play without any buffering. There are many clubs that actively participate in events like hackathons, music, dance, etc. The library is well-furnished and has almost all books. The downside is that some people may bully students who are emotionally weak, which can lead to others being downgraded. Each hostel room is shared by two people. The mess food is repetitive and not very tasty, and the hostel rooms have a lot of mosquitoes. The food is not spicy; I miss spicy food. Hostel rules are very strict.

Faculty: Professors in IITG are highly talented; every faculty member has completed their Ph.D. The professors can be rude and strict, requiring proper discipline. The course schedule is very hectic. In the first two semesters, the syllabus includes 3 core subjects and 2 elective subjects. In the last two semesters, it includes 2 core subjects, 2 elective subjects, and 1 project. For the first year, the credit pattern is 36+36 credits per semester, and for the last year, it is 44+44 credits per semester. Exams are difficult, with mostly conceptual questions.

Other: It is very tough to get into IIT. I am grateful that I got admission here. A lot of preparation and good marks are required. I think IIT doesn’t need any additional reason; the IIT tag itself is a source of pride.
