How is IIT Ropar?

DK
Devashish Khanna Posted On : August 2nd, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (2020)

I am a student at IIT Ropar and thus I am qualified to answer this question-

  • Location- Ropar is just an hour’s drive from Chandigarh. It is well-connected to major cities like Jalandhar, Shimla, Delhi, and Chandigarh. The Tricity area is

quite developed and Mohali has its international airport. Ropar itself is a very calm and peaceful city. The campus is located at the foothills of Shivalik on the banks of the Sutlej River.

  • Academics- The academics at IIT Ropar is at par with the old IITs, but it has been designed by experts to lay greater emphasis on practical learning and labs than the old IITs. One of the major highlights of the IIT Ropar curriculum is the provision of allowing Minors, Honors or Concentration alongside the main B.Tech degree. This provision is not present in the old IITs. An example is that you can do a B.Tech in Mechanical with a Minor in CS.
  • Faculty- The faculty at IIT Ropar is well qualified and the selection procedure is at par with the old IITs. The professors are alums of IITs and other institutions in the US. The teacher-student ratio is 1:10, which is quite good. IIT Ropar organizes workshops, guest lectures by experienced professors from prestigious institutions.

In terms of research citations, IIT Ropar ranks higher than most IITs, including the old ones.

  • Placements- For 2023 B.Tech placements, the highest package stood at INR 55 LPA for CSE, 55 LPA for Electrical, and 42 LPA for Mechanical. Core companies visit less for placements in comparison to non core companies. Google, Amazon and Ericsson were the top recruiters for the 2023 B.Tech placements.
  • Campus and Student Life- IIT Ropar now has its own permanent campus with state-of-the-art infrastructure. The Lecture Halls, Hostels (both boys and girls), Dining Hall, Utility Block, and Sports fields are all newly built. The campus is beautiful and spread across 500 acres. Student life is eventful and there are numerous clubs and societies through which you can enhance your personality. 

I chose IIT Ropar Electrical branch over mediocre branches at old IITs and CSE at newer ones. I am quite happy with my decision and do not regret it in the least.

What are the disadvantages of NIT Trichy?

KS
Kalyani Shrivastava Posted On : July 24th, 2023
NIT Trichy

The disadvantages faced by NIT Trichy students because of its remote location and hot climate are known to many so I will talk about issues no one has yet commented on.

  • North Indians face major language barriers here, especially with shopkeepers, teachers, and peers. They are least interested in learning the language of the locals.
  • NIT Trichy does not offer any effective treatment for the street dogs that roam inside the campus. You can find dogs everywhere like hostels, canteens, and messes. They should either be sent to the forest authority or should be treated fairly. Many times I have seen dogs die because of malnutrition.
  • Students hailing from Telangana face major ragging issues. 
  • NIT Trichy has no amusement places nearby where you can hang out with friends. 

I hope the administration takes measures against these issues.

How is NIT Rourkela?

SV
Sudeeksha Verma Posted On : August 9th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

The standard of education and the institute's credibility can alone be determined by going through the rankings. So, I will be stating some highlights pertaining to the campus life at BIT Mesra, in general,

  • BIT Mesra has an active club culture with more than 60 clubs promoting a number of extracurricular activities
  • NIT Rourkela has the 2nd largest campus in India and is a great place to be at.
  • The hostel life is also great with minimal restrictions at least for boys. 
  • The mess is in close proximity to the hostel and the level of hygiene is commendable here. The mess follows a 4-meal per day system wherein Breakfast is served in the morning at around 7 -9.30 am, lunch at 12–1:30 pm, snacks at 5–6 pm, and finally dinner at 8–9:30 pm.
  • Many night canteens run till 3 in the morning to cater to the midnight cravings of the students. 
  • The institute is a heaven for sports lovers. It has facilities for almost every kind of sport like football, cricket, hockey, volleyball, basketball, and kabaddi.
  • The internet connection facilities are however poor and this matter needs to be taken care of.

You will be surprised to know that my friends in other NITs keep complaining about the campus life there while I was very satisfied with the quality of campus life offered at NIT Rourkela. So, in addition to academics, NIT Rourkela also offers a vibrant college life!

When do we get original degree from Delhi university?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 18th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Delhi University is a highly prestigious institute offering premium education to its students. Every student completing his or her studies from here is awarded a degree certificate. This certificate is issued by the university and is an official recognition of the student’s educational qualification.

However, it's crucial that a student procures his/her original degree certificate from the university as it plays a big role in the admission process of higher studies as well as jobs and other opportunities.

The availability of this degree depends on the course and the duration of the course.UG students usually receive their original degree certificate within 3 months of the completion of the course.

You can check the same by going to SOL and ask someone from their administration department. Sometimes it may take a year or more to get the original degree from Delhi University.

Life at DTU is magical and surreal. It’s a rare experience and once you leave the college it will dawn on you how precious your time spent here was. The students live a carefree life here and pursue their passion alongside academics. DTU has given birth to many artists, musicians, singers, orators, dancers, writers, programmers, and athletes. Those who claim DTU students are bookworms have it wrong, as all kinds of talents are cultivated here.

To break the periodical monotony of campus life, frequent fests are held that are enough to increase the spirit tenfold. Engifest is one of the most awaited events in Delhi. The night events are vibrant and the students have the best days of their life during this fest. Another great event is the Literary Fest wherein you will be meeting well-reputed people in poetry, writing, and whatnot.

DTU even organized the Tomatina Fest in the form of a Color Run. You can explore the campus and find many eateries serving delicious food. The main canteen serves the tastiest samosas you have ever eaten while the Mic-mac canteen serves non-veg and Paranthas.

As for the academic life, it’s not very rigorous like other colleges. You can survive by doing self-study during exams. You will also enjoy the happening nightlife here.
