General view over IITDh, (experienced for one year)

Good aspects-1) It is an IIT, so it's an institute of national importance.2) Right now, running with a temporary campus, but soon(by 2022 end) will be shifting to a bigger permanent campus(470 acres). So, the campus will be pretty big and sufficient, with many facilities.3) Location- It is located on the easily accessible Pune-Bengaluru National Highway(NH48). It is 30 KM away from the educational hub of Hubli. It has excellent weather all-around, with some really cool greenery.Bad aspects-1) Being a 3rd gen IIT, it is still finding ground on the industrial map. Placements aren't the best, but hey, which institute has so? when it has just begun functioning.Admission process-1) Make sure to do well in JEE Advanced and clear the cutoff for the respective branches in the Institute. The cutoff is not revealed until the end of the counselling process.2) Once JEE Advanced results are announced and you have qualified, first thing to do is register yourself for the JoSAA Counseling, for which the website will be provided to you. Select the colleges and the branches(available for you from the list) you wish to apply for and decide the preference order for each.3) There are 6-7 rounds of counselling, with 2-3 days for each. Decide at the end of every round about what to do,l. In simple words, either fix your seat or drop the seat and wait for a better choice in the subsequent rounds.4) Once you confirm your seat, provide the necessary documents and confirm your admissionReasons for choosing-1) I'm from Bengaluru, and since the institute is near to Bengaluru(440 KM), I chose this.2) The culture is good, with less population, you will not feel ignored. Apart from native kannada speakers, students come from all over India, and interacting with them helps you learn a lot, especially the different cultures, and a little of other languages as well:)

The course curriculum is good, especially with the recent introduction of Minors Programme. Academics are pretty fine to manage. Students will feel comfortable, and find few courses interesting. Overall, it's good.Faculty-wise, the institute is still expanding, trying to recruit new and experienced faculty. They are good, doing a decent job by supporting the students well.

Students have opportunities to get placed or work as interns, right from their 7th semester. Statistically, the institute is not on one of the best footings, but has great potential to improve.For the 2020-2021 season, highest package offered was around 40 lakh, with average being around 10-12 lakh. The percentage of students getting placed is 50-60 percent.My plans after getting the degree, is to either immediately pursue for a master's degree, or in one-two years, depending on the situation.

There are Scholarship opportunities, which is merit-based. But, the point to note is, it's only for students with a relatively poor economic background (family income of less than 4 lakh per annum, to be exact). There are fee remissions for hostel and other such facilities, but they are not available for all.

Life in campus is good, with less population and people from all over the country. Lots of greenery in the campus, lots of places nearby to explore. Not the best infrastructure, considering the fact that the campus is a temporary one, but it's pretty manageable.There are various clubs available in IITDh, which is open to all. Many interesting events are held by the clubs and quite a number of students enthusiastically participate and have fun. The issues are that, the population is less, so the club's aren't that big in size, but the communication and co-ordination among them is great
