How is IIT Guwahati

This answer will talk about both, IIT Guwahati in general and its civil department in particular.

IIT Guwahati is one of the esteemed institutes of the country, well known for its natural beauty. It provides an excellent blend of both academics and extracurriculars. The professors teach the concepts and it’s the student's duty to retain and make the most out of the knowledge gained. Various clubs promote extracurriculars like clubs-robotics, coding, or any technical or cultural clubs. 

Specifically talking about the Civil Department, core jobs are scarce leaving many students with no option but to go for no core jobs. Most people don’t give prior thought to selecting the department and end up miserable. However, there are a few who are genuinely interested and go for higher studies. The majority of the students can be seen opting for other fields, coding, analytics, etc. 

Ultimately, you should make a well informed decision considering the branch you are interested in and not the Institute. IIT Guwahati is an excellent choice and its natural beauty will definitely make your college life better!
