Really good infrastructure (classroom).
Placements: 30-40% students get placed. 20 Lacs is the highest package, I am not very sure about the lowest package. Everyone has to do a research internship during the summer break. People usually go to other IITs, etc. Top roles are analyst, UX/UI designer. 40-50% people go for Ph.D.
Infrastructure: Classrooms and library are the best. Lab is not that good, we have EEG, TMR, eye tracker, etc. devices, but the space is less. The lab is small. Hostel facilities are really amazing. There is a lot of variety in food. IIT'D has a hospital, so medical facilities are good. Mental health support system could be strengthened.
Faculty: The course may not be very helpful for making the students industry-ready, but yes, they make you research-ready. It's a research-oriented course. Semester exams are moderately difficult. If one is consistent in classes, they will be able to maintain a CGPA above 8/10. 90-95% students pass the semester exams.
Other: I was interested in human mind and behaviour, so I chose this course. More psychology courses can be added as options. The number of compulsory Linguistics courses can be reduced. More lab sessions can be included in the curriculum. The best thing about the course is its interdisciplinary nature. You get to learn a lot about many different disciplines like psychology, linguistics, AI, etc. Obviously, the fest is one of the best parts of campus life. Connectivity is good. Both academic buildings and hostels have a nearby metro station (within 500m). Merit-cum-Means scholarship is offered to meritorious students. Cobotics offers a paid fellowship to cognitive science students. Half of the students work part-time on their projects.
