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.

Absolutely satisfied. Placements are very good, which makes this a perfect Tier 1 college.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and understanding. They provide 24-hour support. Teachers are of high quality and have master’s degrees in their subjects. The course curriculum makes students industry-ready, and companies are impressed by our college students. Semester exams are very hard. You have to be consistent in your studies to score well.

Faculty: Faculty members are experienced qualified knowledgeable and helpful. Some faculty members are really rude towards the students and some faculty members also do favoritism towards a particular community of students. They are trying to make it relevant they introduce some new courses like AI/ML and Data Science but they are still unable to deliver quality content about the course.

Excellent infrastructure, but dissatisfied with placements and internships.

Faculty: The curriculum is too vast, and some subjects are outdated, like manufacturing technology. The majority of the portion is related to old-style casting and holding methods, while newer methods like CNC machines and 3D printers are taught briefly, even though it is an advanced course. I would score faculty members 2 out of 5 because of some good professors. The professors are excellent at their craft, but they should listen to the students’ needs more. Exams are tough, but from a teacher’s point o...

Sometimes, prioritize college over the desire.

Faculty: Faculty members of my department are okay, they have proper knowledge and skills regarding their courses, which is very helpful for the students to clear. They teach from the very basic to the advanced level. The course is not helpful for getting industry ready. Semester exams are easy to moderate, with a level 90% of the students pass.

A short review of IIT Roorkee and its earth science department.

Faculty: Teachers are pretty helpful and friendly in nature. They are pretty qualified and knowledgeable as well. Doubt-solving sessions are also conducted. The course curriculum is relevant but mostly depends on student's focus and interest whether he or she is industry-ready or not.

IIT Roorkee - The IIT of your dreams.

Faculty: Course Curriculum is relevant for the most part, and it does make students industry-ready, though more practical knowledge is needed. Teachers are very knowledgeable, but some professors don't interact that much, which is the case in every college, still, overall, good professors. Semester exams are average to above average here. The pass grade for a course is 4.

Review of Roorkee IIT for the Post Graduate Diploma in Hydrology course.

Faculty: Professors are very intelligent and very helpful to students. They provide more knowledge of multiple sources. This course is practical, so teachers are different for it and not the same as theoretical subjects. This course is a total of 2 years in duration. There are 2 semester exams, and they are very difficult.

No, you cannot apply for B.Des programme at IIT Roorkee even if you have cleared the UCEED Entrance Exam because Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are compulsory subjects in 10+2. But you can apply for B.Des programme at IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad and IIT Indore.

IIT Roorkee doesn't offer PhD in Design course through CEED. It only offers a MDes in Industrial Design. Admission to the M.Des programme will be based on CEED 2026 merit rank. The candidate will have to apply directly to the participating college once results are declared.
