Overall a very good college .

Placements: It is a very good college. The college provides placement support. The highest salary package offered in my course was 56 LPA. Almost 50 percent of students got job offers. The remaining students will get paid internships at different companies. Overall, a very strong placement is provided by the college.

Infrastructure: Overall, the facilities and infrastructure available for the course are good. As it is a hybrid mode course, during campus immersion, the hostel facility is provided to students at no cost. Also, accommodation is available. I really like it.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified. It is a good course for today's requirements. The semester exams in this college are moderate to hard. If you study seriously, you will easily qualify for the semester exams. Overall, everything is good. Teachers are also very good.

Dissatisfied with the hostel facility warden's behaviour. They charge high.

Placements: Out of 9, only one student got an internship and was placed in the 2024-2026 batch with a package of 14.5LPA as a Product Engineer. Most of the companies are searching for students having no gap between any courses. Some technical companies include Cummins, Tata Motors, and John Deere. Most of the companies hire for the PGET role

Infrastructure: Although campus is new but road facilities are useless there are so much potholes on the road. Some labs have better facilities, but most of labs don't have proper equipment to conduct experiments. Old library haven't that much of seating capacity so they are moving to New library but this new library they are moving from 4years yet they haven't moved yet. The Wi-Fi facility is best in the academic area but average in the hostel area. The warden is useless she doesn't even look over what the basic facilities are. Students are facing issues, especially in D Block, they always ask for fine.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful except one. The curriculum is not updated. They need to update it over time. They don't have teachers for elective subjects, so they give options to choose various elective. Semester exams are as per the syllabus above average. There are two quizzes then a mid-semester exam, then again 2 quizzes and then the end-semester exam.

Other: I have selected this course because I have an interest in thermal. They should provide opportunities to select elective subjects like machine learning, as it is a requirement in today's era.

A well-equipped campus and supports learning and skill development.

Placements: Since this batch started a few years ago only the current placement percentage is 60-80 percent. The average package lies between 5 LPA and 10 LPA. Companies like Oracle and Flipkart are included in the recruiters' list. This course is more skill-dependent. Average package are lower than B.Tech courses.

Infrastructure: The facilities are very good. We get all the necessary things. The campus infrastructure includes seminar halls, hostels, sports ground, both indoor and outdoor.

Group projects are also introduced from the second semester onwards. Every week, some webinars are held.

Other: Sometimes extracurricular activities are not available. Overall it's a great college. Placements are good and mentorship is also provided. Fests are held, and everyone participates actively with great enthusiasm. Big celebrities are invited to fests like Anvesha.

So well, good infrastructure, campus life, and facilities are provided to each student.

Placements: 90% of students are placed. The highest package is 1.17 crore, the lowest package is 8-10 LPA, and the average package is 23-26 LPA. Top companies are Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Accenture, Goldman Sachs, and Wipro. 90% of students got internships. Software engineer roles are offered.

Infrastructure: Though IIT is a central government institution, facilities ranging from studying to various types of amenities are provided to students. Free Wi-Fi is given to students during class hours, and hostel facilities are excellent. The mess and canteen are fabulous and well-equipped with every kind of food item a student can eat according to his/her choice. Every kind of sports facility is available.

Faculty: Professors are helpful, well-educated, and extremely knowledgeable. Teacher quality is at an advanced level. The course curriculum is flexible and relevant for students. It makes students purely industry-ready. The difficulties of semester exams vary subject by subject, providing a mix of easy and difficult assessments. Pass percentage 94%.

Other: As I am more interested in building my career in software engineering, I chose this course. The best aspects of our course are coding, new skills, and new problems. There is a little bit less focus on math skills for students, so that needs improvement. Events like Anwesha and the DJ night are very enjoyable. The campus surroundings are spacious, with ample facilities for students, starting from daily life activities like running, walking, playing, cycling, etc.

I am really satisfied with it. Placements are pretty good. Infrastructure is awesome.

Placements: The economics branch was started 2 years back in 2024, so there are no placement states for my branch. In other branches like CSE, ECE, etc., the placement percentage is 80 percent. The highest package offered is more than 1 crore per annum. The remaining 20 percent of students choose the civil services, startups, etc. Companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, Nvidia, Accenture, Samsung, Sony, KPMG, etc., hire students from the college.

Infrastructure: The hostel is well-equipped with 7 Wi-Fi connections and a lift. Rooms are good. The library has all types of books, magazines, and journals. A digital library facility is also available. Right now, the mess food is pretty good. Medical facilities are good. We have a sports complex in which cricket, football, hockey, tennis, volleyball, and basketball are available. We also have a gymkhana where TT, badminton, chess, and a gym are available.

Faculty: Professors are awesome. Many of them study at foreign institutes. Nearly all professors have enough experience in their particular domain. Many professors also release their research papers from time to time. The 1st-year course curriculum is not fully relevant, but it's good for unskilled problem-solving. Exams are not difficult, as nearly 99 percent of students pass easily.
