Entrance Preview

GATE I got 99.50 percentile i opted for the placement and academics and its culture and life.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum was easy with some tough courses too we had a good mix of practical and theory subjects then from 2nd year, we had thesis work. 3rd sem was seminar presentation and discovery of the gaps in the research area 4th semester was purely thesis work.

College Events

Thomso this is one of the biggest events happening at IIT Roorkee its a tech and cult fest people from all over India come to take part and enjoy the culture you will feel like living in heaven because the decoration and the arrangement are awesome celebrities are also invited, Congni - this is more or less a cult fest.

Fees and Financial Aid

I do not know that I did not opt for the loan so I can not comment on this for M.Tech guys there is a stipend.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life is an awesome very beautiful campus in terms of greenery roads lighting canteens and market is also outside the campus so i think life is hassle free gender ration - 20% female and rest are males.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

The hostel is best among all other IITs food Is best among all other IITs internet is best among all Other IITs some hostels have single room per person and some have shared rooms as well. But overall hostels are beautiful with all the facilities.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Exam Structure

The exam structure is good to score CGPA 70% exams are easy with lot of repeated questions being asked in the exam rest depend upon the faculty but i suggest to focus more on practical rather than the theory every semester there is one optional subject from other departments.

Admission

I submitted the gate score along with the online application form i got shortlisted for the counseling and then I went to counseling. We submitted the draft of the fee in advance so students who got selected got admission and the rest of the students were put on the waiting list (who did not withdraw their drafts) waiting list candidates were asked to come for spot counseling for the remaining seats.

Faculty

Faculties were mixed 30% of faculties are good in terms of teaching and research skills rest does not usually do hard work with the students they are just enjoying IIT Life. 50% New faculties are good in both aspects which are teaching and research skills.

I like the college curriculum and study materials and teaching style of the teachers . Some teachers are impressive and their teaching style is too good .
Campus life is not much engaging but we usually spent our time in studying only . Also for attendance there is not much more criteria but some teachers are very strict in taking the attendance.
Faculties are full of experience and knowledge. They are approachable online and offline too but after the class.

Dislikes

I don't like the placement system in my college because the students studying in 2nd year do not get any exposure of placement . There is placement cell in our college but not very active .
Infrastructure is good but it should be spread in a more big acres . My wish was to get into IIT Kharagpur that's why I am asking for big campus .
Overall curriculum and research based approach of the campus is good. They just give projects to the seniors and seniors work is to dictate us about the project and helps us in building different types of project.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The main aspects that motivates me to choose this college is the GFTI'S colleges . Because my father suggest me that govt. Colleges seeks more companies that's why I choose this college . But truth is totally opposite from the reality. Real world application based projects is just given by the teachers in every semester but we students copy it and give it to them from the gpt. College timing should be more less we have to study from 10 am to 5 p.m. Timings of exams are of 3 hrs only in semester . Difficulty level is moderate.

Graduation- Best time of life.

Likes

The campus of the university is beyond beautiful and homely. Participation in college and university societies paves way for an all rounder development of the students. Facilities like CCF internet facility) is quite commendable.
Good Placements offered also encourage better future prospects. The library of the university is next level. Kisan mela held two times a year feels like another celebration for the university people.
Events held in the university with amazing artists offer exposure as well as a unique way to keep the entertainment alive amongst the youth.e

Dislikes

The hostel rules were rigid especially the entry timings of the girls hostel. The rigidity to take leave by getting it signed by various officials first had been an issue. Although, this was when i was graduating, things might have changed by now.
The stringent hostel rules were quite difficult to cope with. The strict checking at the university gates though might seem good as per the security but seem harsh sometimes.
Teaching methods could be made more progressive and technical with time paving way for more practical knowledge. Infrastructure could also be given a push.

Placement Experience:

In final year of btech companies start coming. Maximum students of CSE and IT get placed. Package is min. 3.2Lacs CTC. Both mass recruiters and startups take part in the placement drive. A good number of students get placed. But maximum students of our college opt for higher studies like appearing for GATE, GRE, CAT exams. Further students indulge in preparation for govt services like UPSC, Defence.

IIT Roorkee - The complete story

I had 4 main options in hand after JEE - BSc Physics in IISC Bangalore (I had cleared KVPY), Electrical engineering in IIT Indore, EPH in IIT Roorkee, and Computer Science in Nit Trichy. I did not choose IISC, as I wasnt sure whether I wanted my career to be in research. My coaching faculties advised me not to take an NIT when I was getting a top 7 IIT. It was a tough choice choosing between EE in IITI, and EPH in IITR. However, at the end, I choose Roorkee because of its legacy, better facilities, and a calmer environment.
