What Students Say

Likes

The location of college, it is situated in a hilly area so the monsoon is available whole year, overall it looks gorgeous.
The seniors here are so much helpful and motivating. The insist us to take participate in more and more activities.

Dislikes

IIT Goa don't have permanent campus, so it hurts so much sometimes when you talk to your friends from other IITs
There are lectures, 5 days a week so it feels so bad when you have to go to hall at 9 am.
As I am new to hostel life so may be I feel it in other college also, I remember my parents so much.

Course Curriculum Overview

The reason I chose Mathematics and Computing over other branches is that you will get exposure in CSE courses as well as in Analytical thinking. And the other reason that everyone knows is PACKAGES. The faculties here are too experienced in that they know what doubt can come to student's minds so they teach in that way so that maximum doubts are cleared. If you study seriously for 1-2 hrs a day then you will get very good marks, students find it difficult because there are so many extracurricular activities that students can't concentrate on their studies.

Class Size: 140Course Fees: INR 280000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees I mentioned before were overall fees without any scholarship but there is a scholarship for students regardless of the category of student. So yes here is a plus point for us. family income < 1lakh, 100% fee waiver in tuition fees for each semester; between 1 lakh to 5 lakh 66%; No scholarship for income > 5 lakh. There is a special scholarship for SC/ST students other than this. Remember you have to apply for a scholarship after each semester.

Campus Life

Life at IIT is very exciting as you will get to know so many things about the people of different regions of India and many more. The annual fest that held in IIT Goa is CULTRANG, I don't know so much about it as it will be held in the month of February or March, but I came to know through my seniors that it would be so much exciting and refreshing event, you can visit IIT Goa Instagram page for events. There is a library where you can find all the required books to develop your skills. Other than this there so many clubs consisting of coding clubs, philosophical clubs, oratory clubs, etc. You can find football, cricket, badminton, basketball, volleyball, etc

Admission

You all first have to prepare for the most prestigious exam in India, i.e. JEE Advanced. Students have to prepare thoroughly for this exam, the syllabus consists of physics, chemistry and mathematics. You are allowed to sit in the exam in class 12 and a year after it. You first have to clear JEE mains to sit in the JEE advanced exam. After that, you will be able to apply for counselling on the official josaa website.

Reasons to not Join this College: By a ex-student

Likes

The surroundings is quite mesmerizing...

Dislikes

The faculties are rude and extremely toxic.
The faculties don't have clear understandings of the syllabus.. the lack of alignment with prescribed syllabus leads to high failure rate with nearly 60% of students failing in each semester
Quite often the semester examination papers include topics that were not covered by the teachers in class. in My class 23/75 students got block(year back). Which must be highest rate of failures across entire India

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is the same across all the 5 colleges It's too outdated to be studied Not relevant for modern-day job markets Students often have to study different materials to crack a job. Youtibe is best solution to clear the concepts

Placement Experience:

Placements are good like averages of chemical is 12 lpa and there is good placement percentage ratio like 75 percent and if in case of no placements further study is possible option as bits have connection to many best institues in the world.

GEC REVIEW BY A STUDENT

Likes

The campus is good, lots of air and good weather. Good facilities, decent food spots around and faculties are also good mostly. Masters courses are available in some departments.

Dislikes

There are cows roaming around as well as dogs so there is a lot of rubbish on the roads. The college is situated on a hill so getting there is a challenge for bus travellers, Canteen is horrible, so is the workshop. Security is non existent.
Anyone can come during college hours and even kill you and nobody will do anything.

Placement Experience:

I have no clue but the highest placements are in Computer and IT branches. Civil has probably the least placement. The quality is good thanks to IIT and NIT being in the same campus thus the big companies that come to those colleges also come to our colleges but they prefer those students more because NIT and IIT are more prestigious colleges.

The campus is new and in hostel one room for one person and the room is really good , we have everything which you need in a room enough lights fan a good cupboard
70 percent of the campus (other than boys hostel) looks nice ..they have greenery , a smol park like area in front of girls hostel and and good classrooms , professors are okaish

Dislikes

Many times hostel water tank gets empty ..so no water not even for drinking for hours and electricity went sometimes not much and one big problem is the internet inside the hostel , outside our hostel network comes but inside no signal
They have a wifi which don't work well and not much range of it ,it's a big problem we face everyday . The food is not good , below then avarage it got degraded since we came to new campus . It's been a year in this new campus
Only one basket ball and vollyball court for sports , no ground ,nothing . There is one ground in front of boys hostel where no grass only needle like rocks if you fall your bone will be cracked and , recently they started to let sevagewater out init

Placement Experience:

Campus placement is okay okay but not that great . Mech and civil don't have that much package avg of around 6 lakh and i guess only 10-11 got placed .. and 16-17 was eligibile for it. For eligible to placement you don't have any backlog in any subject and some minimum cgpa required too

Trusted experience of Iit goa

Many students has the doubt of selecting best branch or college, I would say going for the branch yeah it's true that high collages have high placements but it's doesn't guarantee uhhh to get a job uhh must have the best knowledge so gain the best knowledge is best course instead of low branch and then doing other courses. Taking best branch lead you to higher position and every iit has its good placement and bad too but here in goa almost it's very good rather some guys who ignore....Read More

IIT Goa Review

Completing engineering from IIT is like a dream come true for every engineering student. IITs not only provide good placement but learning and the exposure and opportunities that we get is unimaginable. I also wanted to be part of IIT and I really worked hard for the GATE exam but frankly speaking, I am an average student and my GATE score was between 755 to 860 according to me ad my preference is IIT Goa was the best option. To be part of IIT Goa I need to clear the GATE exam that I did and I should have a minimum of 55% marks. My academic qualification was according to IIT Goa. During my research, I realize that IIT Goa fits into my preference not because it provides good placement but the college also has good research programs and good educational standards. That is why I opted for IIT Goa....Read More
