4.2

Academics

Teachers here are really good and very helpful and supportive towards students. They are highly qualified. Obviously, entering into IITs as a professor is really challenging, and they are very knowledgeable. Teaching here is perfectly planned and goes on with a system. The course curriculum is very much relevant which not only focuses on technical skills, but as an engineering student, all the things which you must learn are really taught. This boosts confidence in students about their capabilities, making them industry-ready. Semester exams are not that easy, obviously, but not so difficult to fail. So mostly in semester exams, the questions are based on what professors taught in class, but after joining engineering, we don't listen to classes that much, which makes semester exams a little difficult. But the competition is very high since all are IITians. The pass percentage is around 90%.I joined iit ism for my PhD in electronica engineering.

College Infra

The facilities and infrastructure are excellent. Labs are properly equipped and are assisted by well-qualified teaching assistants, and also neatly arranged and maintained. Wi-Fi is good. Classrooms are large enough to accommodate around 150 people for now, but still, a new building construction is happening which can accommodate more people. Coming to the library, we have the Central Library which is Asia's second-largest technical library. It has 7 floors, one complete floor is dedicated to the reading hall. Almost every preferred book can be found there along with magazines and newspapers. Moreover, the library is properly maintained with high security.

Placements

Starting with the batch and course, it's perfectly fine. When I applied, I wasn't this sure about the course or college. But after I joined, seeing the environment of IIT, I assured myself that I had taken the right decision. Talking about placements, around 75% of students in our course got placed. Around 5-10% are interested in civil, and 5% of the remaining students have already started startups. Top recruiting companies for our course are Google, Microsoft, Barclays, Sprinklr, Bajaj, PhonePe, Flipkart, Tata, Zepto, UltraTech Cement, Accenture, ICICI Bank, Amdocs, Axis Bank, Reliance, Beehyv, Jindal Steel and Power, Maruti Suzuki, Uber, etc. These are the top recruiting companies for our course. Obviously, IITs mainly focus on all-round development. Every student goes on with their interest, so main roles are like product engineer, data analyst, machine learning students, etc. The highest package for our course on campus is 58 LPA, and the lowest could be 9-10 LPA. The average package would be 18-23 LPA. Around 30-40% of students got internships from our course.For our course I pursued PhD from here so the students who is with us want to join as assistant professor.
