Course Curriculum Overview :
My course is a mix of mathematics nad computer science so it opens a wide amount of opportunities in both the fields including it, research finance and data. Some of the coirse are old but yet very crucial for research point of view Exams usually happens after 2 months and are easy if you start serious study 2 weeks prior to your exam. Some improvements like adding more computer science part is required else the course is good
Internships Opportunities :
Companies like optiver gives 63 lakhs for two month but they are open only for cse. Other hfts are usually somehere from 3 to 5 lakhs a month. Software companies like google microsoft provide somewher from 1.5 to 2 lakhs per month and some small companies give you 50000 permonth .
Placement Experience :
After 4th semester companies coke for internship and in 7th sem you are allowed to sit in placements. This is the average package was a bit lower around 20lpa but for cse it was 42 lpa. Aroud 600 700 companies came and usually make 1400 1500 offers and about 80 percent of the students are placed oncampus and the others if they have skill get offers offf campus also
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The fees is quite high as compared to other govt colleges but the IIT tag is definitely worth the price and the roi is great. Once you enter the college you will find ample opportunities to explore. I belong to general category so there was no reservation for me but for sc st students the entire tuition fees is zero and for other ews students the tuition fee has waivers depending on yearly income
Campus Life :
The 2 major fests of the college are spring fest the annual fest and kshitij the tech fest. Fest is the time when you can enjoy your time to the most as you are able to interact with like minded people from all over india and there is a lot of crowd in the campus. The classrooms are welll equipped with the latest tech and you can find a club for everything you can imagine from cooking to acting. Also there are all kind of sports facilty available for every sports you know.
Hostel Facilities :
It is compulsory for all to live in a hostel all first years live in a same hostel separate for both girls and boys. Mess food isnot so great but manageable for some of the week days. There are a lot of canteens and restaurants in the campus where you can eat if you don't like the mess food and there food is great. The rooms are spacious and good but you get a common washroom else everything is good.
Admission :
At my rank i was getting all top iits but circuital in only kanpur and kharagpur. I was more inclined towards mathematics than electrical so i chose mathematics and computing branch. For iits you need to crack bogh jee mains and jeee advanced and on the behalf of your rank you are allotted a college of your preference. Usually for general the cutoff is around 12000 to enter in a top iit for circuital branch aim for under 1500
Faculty :
Faculty to stident ratio is good in some departmental course it is 1 to 70 otherwise fpr common course it is 1 to 150. Faculty is very talented in area of research but they lack teaching skills so you have to do all the work by yourself also exams and grading is chill wrt other iits. Course curriculum is relevant and we have 2 exams and a class test per semester
