IIT Ropar, my experience so far

With my rank my top choices were:IIT Guwahati: electronics and communicationIIT Bombay: EconomicsIIT Ropar: CSEPros and Cons which led me to choose IIT Ropar:Pros:1) My interest in computer science2) IIT tag3) Good CSE faculty4) Excellent job opportunitiesCons:1) Fairly new when compared to old IITsSince pros outweighed the cons I chose IIT Ropar CSE.For admission we need to fill our choices of college on the JEE portal, and we get the best according to our rank. Then the next step is to freeze the seat, by visiting nearest center (any IIT). I used Quora to investigate about different colleges.

Faculty student ratio is quite adequate as IIT Ropar is fairly new, the number of student in college is less when compared to older counterparts. At IIT Ropar we have Mid-term, End-term examination and 2 quizzes before each, for core subjects. The difficulty level of our exams is pretty high and the average score stands around 50% always.Our course follows relative marking, to ensure fair marking.

I got internship opportunity at Arista networks (6 month) as software development intern. My stipend is 45,000 per month and 50,000 one time bonus (all in INR).

IIT Ropar enjoys decent ranking in all the lists, like times NIRF etc. thus we have ample companies visiting our campus every year for placement opportunities. Our Training and placement cell works hard to invite and schedule companies, some of the famous companies which visit our campus are:MicroSoftAmazonCodenationPaytmSamsungArista

All of the IITs have same fee structure, i.e. we need to pay around 1,20,000 per semester and there are 8 semesters. There is scholarship opportunities if your family income is less than 5,00,000 (per year). You get the tution fee waived entirely, if your family income is less than 1,00,000

IIT Ropar now has its own campus with all the amenities. We have two major fests every year:Zeitgeist (Cultural fest): Here we invite various comedians/singer celebrity and have parties.Advitiya (Technical fest): Here we hold technical contests like code-athon, robo-race etc. Its a good opportunity to earn prizes for your hard work.We have various clubs at our college to indulge your hobbies like:D.cypher: Dance clubRobotics club: To learn about robots and ROSCoding club: To expand your knowledge in competetive coding.Dev club: To learn about development.Astronomy club: Here we gaze at night sky with our telescopes and share knowledge.Cookery club: We practice our culinary skills and hold contests.Movie club, etc.
