Remarks
IIT Ropar is one of the new IITs with a completely new infrastructure with young and energetic faculties. For PhD admissions, they generally conduct interviews in the month of May for July session and November for December session.
Course Curriculum Overview
Faculty Student ratio is quite good here. Due to this student can directly interact with any faculty to discuss their ideas, problems and suggestions for improvement. They are very open to them. Moreover, the faculty profiles are very good here and most of them have done their masters and PhD from abroad well reputed universities. My PhD supervisor has done his masters from University of Waterloo, Canada and doctorate from University of Alberta, Canada.
Internships Opportunities
NO internships for PhD students, we have to look on our own.
Placement Experience
There are no such campus placements after PhD. We have to choose our own path accordingly, whether we would like to go for research or to an industry. Hence, PhD students generally go for Post docs in foreign universities based on their research interests and publications.
Fee Structure And Facilities
For PhD fee structure is less, for one semester we have to pay approximately 40000 INR. We get monthly scholarship of 31000 INR from institute or in some cases the funding come from projects as well. It means we can cover all our expenses with this amount. The institute fellowship will only hold for the period of five years. We can also apply for other fellowship programs such as Prime Minister Research Fellowship.
Campus Life
Due to Covid pandemic, no such fests are organized but they generally have one technical fest and one cultural fest each year. IITs generally have world class facilities for books, journals access in library. Sports facilities are also there and there are a lot of groups such as astronomy, art, dance, coding etc. which a student can join.
Hostel Facilities
Hostels accomodation are good here. So, no need to go outside if you are not married. Currently, some hostels are under construction after that accomodation will be improved. Hostels for married students are under construction. Internet facilities and single occupancy rooms are there in main campus. But in transit campus, the hostel are not that much good. But the transit campus will ne shifted completely to main campus within a year. Only four departments are there in transit campus and rest of other departments are in main campus.
