Review of IIT Guwahati - Indian Institute of Technology. 
Placements: Till now, there is no data about placements. 92% of students have received internships. Top recruiting companies are Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, IBM, TCS, and Deloitte. I personally got an offer off-campus from SpaceX. The most common roles seen are Data Scientist, Analyst, AI Engineer, and Software Developer.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is good but limited. The mess is good, but I’m not a big fan. Medical facilities are great, and sports and games are good. Nightlife at IIT Guwahati is great. You need to work hard to keep up, but any serious student can manage. I wish all my future juniors all the best.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and good. We are industry-ready. The percentage of students placed is not released by the IIT Guwahati authority. The teaching quality is great, and the curriculum is up to date with industry standards. Proctored exams are tough.
Other: I chose this course because I need to graduate. There is a need to improve offline on-campus placement opportunities.

IIT Guwahati is an awesome college.
Placements: IIT Guwahati campus is very large. Since I am a Ph.D. scholar, the research facilities in this college are very good.  Around 80-85% of students get placed in our course. The highest salary package in our college is 57 LPA, the average salary package is 11 LPA, and the lowest salary package is 6 LPA. Companies like Aditya Birla, Tata, and PhonePe recruit students from our course. Every student gets an internship in the 2nd or 3rd year through hard work.
Infrastructure: Facilities available in our hostel include Wi-Fi, drinking water, light, fans, and beds. Fully air-conditioned classrooms are available in our college. A central library is also available on our campus, and books can be issued by students. The quality of food in the mess is average. There are three canteens on our campus, and the fast food is good. We have a small ground to play different sports like volleyball, football, and cricket.
Faculty: Professors are well-qualified, helpful, and knowledgeable. All of them are PhD holders. The course curriculum is relevant to industry needs. Besides, one has to prepare themselves too. Each semester has 2 exams, mid-term and end-term. One needs to have at least 35% in order to pass the course.

It is a nice place with good vibes and makes memories to always be remembered.
Placements: Definitely more than 90% of students get placed every year, and the rest students opt for higher studies or choose other career paths. In the CSE, students rarely opt for other non-tech profiles, and students majorly focus on SDE, quantitative, developer, etc., roles. Few students go for embedded roles as well. The average package offered is more than 30 LPA.
Infrastructure: We do not have restricted internet. LAN points are present in every hostel room. The campus's main buildings have centralised Wi-Fi known as IITG-Connect, and we can log in through our ID and ERP password. Internet speed is mediocre. Each hostel has an AC library and gym of its own. There is a big central library and a gym for the whole campus. Classroom infrastructure is way beyond what we will see in other tier 2 colleges. There are canteens in every hostel. There are 10 boys' hostels and 3 girls' hostels on campus.
Faculty: Faculty members are genuinely always helpful, and we just need to approach them well. They are mostly always open to help. Courses are surely relevant after the renewal of the syllabus, and more relevance will be achieved by this year. Making industry-ready is something the students also must focus on and gather their skills to stand out to the public.
Other: There's a fest for every board and every genre. The biggest and the best cultural fest, named Alcheringa is organised in January to February. Then comes Techniche, the tech fest during September. Our college also organises a sports fest named Spirit and a welfare fest named Prayatna.

NOTE: The mentioned tuition fee is taken from unofficial sources. Hence, is indicative.

Q:   What makes CAT tougher than other MBA entrance exams?
A: 

CAT exam is a national level MBA entrance exam conducted by the IIM. Every year, over 2.3 lakh candidates apply for it. Since the last two years, the competition has increased further with oveer 3 lakh candidates applying for the exam.

The CAT score is accepted by the Iims and all top MBA colleges in India. To select the best candidates from over 3 lakh test takers there is a need for stringent criteria. That's why, the CAT exam is tougher than other MBA entrance exams. Even though the syllabus of CAT is same as that of other MBA entrance exams, the question paper set by the IIM faculty always has tough questions. Moreover, CAT has sectional time limit for each section which is not there in any other exam except XAT. Having a time limit for each section adds pressure on candidates to complete solving adequate number of questions in a section within the time limit. If a student is weak in a particular subject, they can't use the time as per their need. CAT's Reading Comprehension passages are long and dense unlike other MBA exams. This is one more reason why most candidates feel CAT is tougher than any other MBA entrance exam.
