IIT GUWAHATI college review

3.5Helpful

Likes

The campus is really beautiful and green spread across 750 acres
The freedom given to everyone is nice and sports culture is good

Dislikes

The location in terms of connectivity to guwahati city as well as traveling from other cities
The placement culture is fucked up and more than your skills your connection matters

Course Curriculum Overview:

There was practical training in labs, we had several industrial visits, and we can accept more advanced tools in the process. There are midsem endsems and 2 quizses . Although their teaching were good but career opportunities in this field are limited.

My campus is so beautiful and the sports facilities are excellent
Library is too good and reading facilities in every hostel

Dislikes

College is too big that we have to travel in cycle all the time
The place where college is located is far from city

Course Curriculum Overview:

My interest in structural mechanics influenced me to take this course. And the applications of this course is huge in real world. topics in civil like geology and soil mechanics were kind of boring as I felt not much of logic in there. Environmental engineering is quite interesting. The exams level are moderate and exam frequency is okayish, 2 quizzes, midsem and endsem for a course is reasonable.

IIT Guwahati College Review

4.1Helpful

Likes

Campus has good infrastructure and it's surrounding is beautiful.
Lakes, hostels and facilities provided within the campus.

Dislikes

College curriculum is tough and the grading is relatively tough in comparison to other iits.
College has restrictions like in time and out time except from main gate.

Course Curriculum Overview:

This course mostly all the parts required to be a good civil engineer but one thing personally I think is that the curriculum is very old it should be updated. Lab facilities are very with high class lab equipments. After beginning of a semester after a month quizzes are there followed my midsem after 2 months then quizzes after a month of midsem then in last Endsem. Personally Grading in this course is relatively in good in comparison to other courses here in IIT guwahati. Difficulty level I would give 8 out 10. I would say engineering is hard having labs and classes make you whole day very busy.

Course Curriculum Overview:

As an IIT Guwahati student, I rate the course curriculum highly in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness. It offers a strong foundation in theoretical concepts while also providing ample opportunities for practical application. there's room for improvement in integrating more industry-relevant skills. Exams are frequent and challenging, effectively assessing our understanding

Faculty is very good and lab and equipment are not out dated

Dislikes

Washing machines need some maintenance,they should solve any problem regarding those quickly
Breakfast is good but luch and dinner are not so good they need to take some care in changing the menu to students favour

Course Curriculum Overview:

I was interested in building things and learning about how ancient structures were built. And IIT environment is very good , you learn and explore anything beyond your group or branch Faculty student ratio is around 1:8 Faculty members are very much experienced in their field of teaching and they are very much qualified for that job , As you know iit guwahati is no.7 in nirf ranking , you cannot judge its faculty Some subject Exams were pretty much upto iit standards ( i mean tough) like maths , physics etc.., And some easy like chemistry as our college follow relative grading it depends on professor who will decide the pass marks and grading, Passing was not hard I would say 8cpi is a good grade

Likes

Sports facilities are excellent here and campus lakes trees etc are refreshing.

Dislikes

They make exam questions tough for no reason.

Course Curriculum Overview:

For first-year students, IITG has divided us into divisions which have 3 to 4 branches and conduct classes according to morning classes or evening classes. We don't have our classes with department subjects for 1st year. Labs and tutorials are conducted accordingly. The faculties are great here. Most faculties have doctorate degrees and are researchers. After 1 month of classes, quizzes will be there with some weightage for final grading. After around 2 months, mid-semester is there and then again quizzes, and finally end-sem for a semester. Exams are quite tough to crack.

Beautiful Campus life with full of nature
Availability of all facilities present in the campus.

Dislikes

The auditorium of the college is small as compared to the strength of college students.
Due to high strength of students, hostel available is going to double occupancy rather than single occupancy

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have an interest in creating beautiful structures, so I chose this course. Faculty-student ratio 1:10, Most of the faculties are Ph.D. There are 4 exams during a semester, level of these exams are moderate, if we study every 1 to 2 hour, we can get 7.5 grade out of 10.

Course Curriculum Overview:

This course has real applications and can be felt and imagined. The faculty is good every subject has got its own faculty and also includes a lot of TAs. Faculty might not teach very well to be honest but they are well aware of the subject and already achieved milestones in that subject That's the reason they are teaching in IITs. Exams are easy we just need to follow what profs say. Studying 2 weeks is more than enough to pass a 5 month semester.
