Why are the placements at IIT Guwahati so poor as compared to other IITs?
The placement scenario of only a few IITs is considered good. Some of these include IIT Delhi, Kanpur, Bombay, Kgp, and Madras.
Although these IITs witness intense competition in placements, the fact that some tech giants only visit these IITs makes their placement scenario better than other IITs. A few of the top companies include Google, Apple, Uber, Facebook, etc. Many consulting giants such as Mckinsey, BCG, Bain, AT Kearney, etc. offer roles in finance, software, banking, investment banking, etc. These roles are offered in plenty around 30-60 at these IITs. Other companies do visit other IITs and the salary offered is also similar.
How is the girls’ hostel at IIT Guwahati?
IIT Guwahati has two girls’ hostels namely Subansiri and Dhansiri.
Subansiri Hostel: Named after the largest tributary of the Brahmaputra, this hostel was Inaugurated in 2003. The occupants are research scholars, UGs, and PGs.

Is it worth taking an M.Tech in robotics and AI from IIT Guwahati?
What is it like to do chemical science and technology at IIT-Guwahati?
Chemical Science and Technology is a great choice for those who have a genuine interest in the subject of Chemistry.
- It comprises inorganic, organic, and other aspects.
- It covers aspects of drug design, medicinal chemistry, material science, environmental science, and even molecular biology.
- It is a research-oriented discipline
- It's a contemporary of Engineering Physics
- Its syllabus covers topics like nano-chemistry and nano-technology which is the next big thing in the engineering sector
Prospects
- The prospects of CST are not at or with that of Chemical Engineering unless you are going to opt for non-core jobs.
Chemical Engineering, on the other hand, is a blend of a profusion of physical chemistry along with a mess of physics, math, and many other things. It entails the processes that help maximize efficiency, increase profit, and focus on the best possible way for the production of any product in any industry.
Prospects
- The prospects of Chemical Engineering are better than CST and its students receive better packages.
Ultimately, it’s all about if you are going for core or non-core jobs. Either way, Chemical Engineering is a better option than CST unless you have a serious inclination toward Chemistry.
Why are IIT Guwahati people competing with IIT Roorkee and IIT BHU people?
Based on different factors, you can categorize the IITs into various groups. For example, academically, the top IITs are IIT Kanpur, IIT KGP, and IIT Bombay. Similarly, IIT Guwahati is known for its top-notch accommodation facilities with single rooms allotted to every student. The campus encompassed by natural beauty is second only to IIT Roorkee.
Universities like IIT BHU and IT BHU despite being old, haven’t been able to reach the level of IIT Kanpur or Kharagpur. However, it does give a slight edge to IIT Delhi in terms of academics
Honestly, every student is aware of the actual credibility of his institute and chooses it anyway.
Either the Institute aligns with his preferences or that particular IIT was the only IIT he could make it into. So IITians don’t usually fight amongst themselves unless it’s an outsider trying to trigger them.
Is IIT Patna CSE is better or mathematics and computing at IIT Guwahati?
Whether IIT Patna CSE is better or MnC at IIT Guwahati, depends on what you want to do after your graduation.
If you have an interest in pure and abstract Math and want to do research in Maths, theoretical computer science, Set theory, Group Theory, and Complexity Theory, then the IIT Guwahati MnC program is the best for you.
However, if you have an interest in coding and want to become a competitive programmer, or a software developer, and research in areas other than Theoretical Computer Science, then IIT Patna CSE is the right choice for you. Extensive research on every CS field is done here.
Basically, the academic workload of the MnC program at IIT Guwahati is too much with a very rigid curriculum that will spare you no time to focus on coding. No doubt, the MnC program too has excellent job opportunities in finance, banking, and software jobs. But, the demand for CS students is much more than MnC students and is expected to be increasingly so over the next few years.
Common courses of CS and MNC include theoretical computer science, some being computer networks, and operating systems while the rest of the courses are related to abstract Maths/pure Math and are highly rigorous in nature. Contrary to popular belief, there aren't many common concepts between MnC and CS.
IIT Guwahati will give you a slightly better campus life in comparison to IIT Patna considering its scenic campus and high-level fests organized by the institute.
Are parents allowed in hostels of IIT GUWAHATI at the time of registration?
Yes, parents are allowed in the hostels of IIT Guwahati at the time of registration. Parents visit their children to help unpack their stuff and organize them,
However, parents are not allowed to spend the night at hostels and thus ask your parents to book a hotel to avoid any sort of inconvenience. Usually, the rules in the girls' hostel are more strict than the boys' hostel and only mothers are allowed inside their hostels.
What you can do is, book a hotel room for your Prerna on tracing Guwahati. There are many hotels near the railway station.

Do IIT Guwahati CSE students get similar opportunities for foreign university/company internships compared to IIT Bombay?
My friend was a CS student at IIT Guwahati and he failed to secure a summer internship. According to him, only 3 students from the entire batch of CS second-year students got foreign internship offers. When he asked his friends at IIT Bombay about the same, he came to know that 6 students had got foreign internship offers.
There are a number of reasons why older IITs offer more opportunities than II Guwahati. Let’s explore some of these reasons
- Unlike IIT Guwahati, older IITs have collaborations with top foreign universities. For example, IIT Kanpur’s SURGE program has tie-ups with Caltech and provides funds for undergraduate internships.
- Professors are ready to accept students for internships but the lack of funds makes it impossible to secure a paid foreign internship.
- Another major problem is the lack of focus on research at IIT Guwahati. Students at IIT Bombay have completed great research projects whereas IIT Guwahati students have no research accomplishments up their sleeve. Their CV is extremely lacking and does not fetch good packages.
All in all, the department doesn't encourage foreign internships and older IITs offer way better opportunities compared to IIT Guwahati.
