Absolutely satisfied with the college because of the curriculum.

Faculty: I feel the teaching quality is of a top-notch level. The courses offered here are only focused on relevant things only while other colleges offer many irrelevant courses. Here, the case is different. This makes students industry-ready and professors are really helpful here they are ready to help you any time. The semester exams are pretty tough you need to work hard to pass them.

It is a good college and placements are good.

Faculty: Exams here help you to gain good knowledge about the subject. They are moderate to tough in most cases, which require a good understanding of the subject. There is a bit of pressure, but only in the first two semesters. It can be managed, and in the last two semesters, there is just an internship or not much hectic work, so you can focus on your placements.

Good infrastructure and placements.

Faculty: Teaching is top-notch. The course is relevant to industry standards, and the HODs are young and keep the course updated with the industry. The exams are a bit frequent and don't give a lot of time. However, the exams aren't as tough as they seem and can be cleared easily with regular study.

IIIT Bangalore is a premier institute for its engineering and IT programs.

Faculty: Teachers here are very qualified with HOD of ECE department, a Ph.D. from University of Alabama and other teachers are alumni of reputed universities. Course curriculum is very relevant, and we are not taught any subject that is not needed and is always relevant to the industry. Exams get difficult as we progress with semesters, and we also grow with that. The pass percentage is very good, and almost no one fails the course.

A good college if the student focuses on knowledge and education.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified. Most of them have PhDs. They are helpful, interactive, and easily approachable. Teaching quality is good, but the curriculum is quite advanced and tough. The students are made industry-ready as they conclude their course because of the difficulty of the curriculum. The semester exams are difficult so that students can learn out of the hard questions. Despite being so hard, the teachers pass students. The pass percentage is 100.

Great college with nice faculty and placements. Except for the campus, which is really small.

Faculty: The teachers are really helpful. They are quite experienced. The curriculum is also to the point, perfect for industry. The exams are at a moderate level. You can approach your faculty directly in person, or you can contact them via mail. They take care that you have a better understanding of each and every topic. They also appoint seniors who did really well in that particular subject to mentor you, so you can ask them about your queries.
