How is life in IIIT Hyderabad?
Life at IIIT Hyderabad is very vibrant and fun-filled irrespective of how rigorous the academic culture is. Honestly, all that matters is your company. If you have found the most amazing friends, you will have fun doing everything. You will enjoy the coding sessions, doing group assignments, and going for PT together early in the morning. Staying aware till 4 in the morning to complete projects is another kind of fun. You will even enjoy organizing and cleaning your room on Sundays.
So yes, life at IIIT Hyderabad is certainly very tiresome and rigid but the occasional events and activities surely are great stress boosters.
Everything becomes fun if you have the best company be it the compulsory PT or classes from 08:30 am. In the end, you will realize all the discipline helped you become a more responsible and independent person.
