Honest review of IIT Mandi

Civil engineering is considered as one of the chill branches because the curriculum is not hard as computer science and engineering that gives you a plenty of times to do other stuffs but the number of labs is higher than other branches make you schedule very hectic. Civil engineering is very practical you can understand the experiments easily. What I personally think about this branch is that the curriculum we are following if very old so it have to be more towards software based learning. Talking about exams their are two major exams in every semester they are mid semester exams and end semester exams. Their can also some quizzes between the semester

Role offered for interns are mostly SDE, Data analyst, Product manager, market analyst. The stipend depends on the position you are working. For SDE it varies from 35K to 150k whereas for other roles it varies from 15K to 50K. You can also do a research intern under professor at Foreign Universities. The major companies last year was Google, Microsoft, Flipkart, Sprinkler, Vedantu, Futures first, etc. Internship in core field is bit difficult here.

The placement is far better than the private colleges but their is still a scope of improvement. The student can sit for placement after 7th semester or they can also got PPO. Due to recession the placement session affected this time. The average package of CS related branches is nearly 25LPA whereas for core branches it is nearly 13-15LPA. The highest package last year was 70LPA. More than 85% student got placed before recession but this time only 50-60% students placed only. The job profiles offered area SDE, data analyst, market analyst, product manager etc.

Generally their is not a great hike in fees. Only 4-5% hike can be seen every year. Fees: 100000 tution +40000 hostel and mess per semester. Total fees would be approx 12 lacs and if we include personal expenses you will be graduated here in 13 -14 lacs. If your family income is less than 1 lakh you get complete tution fee remission and if income is less than 5 lacs you got 2/3 tuition fee remission. If you belongs to SC/ST/PWD you don't have to pay tuition fees. Their are certain scholarships here based on your academic performance such as MCM merit cum means scholarship. Also some more scholarships. You can expect a good package from here is you are from CS related branch and if you are from core branch then this college is not a good option at all.

There are three major fests which are exodia is the major cultural fest, ranneeti sports fest and xpecto tech fest. The fests here are not very big as compared to fests at DELHI'S colleges because of connectivity. Their is a huge 3 storey library in the campus with plenty of books. One can easily find books on every technical genre. Sports facility is good here. We have a two storey sports complex having courts of TT, Badminton, Squash, Basketball. Their is also a swimming pool. In outdoor sports thier is cricket, hockey, volley ball, tennis, football grounds. Their are several students clubs run by students major clubs are programming club, photography club, graphic designing club, dance club, music club, etc.

Generally 2 and 3 seater rooms are allotted to the freshers. But idk why admin is increasing the seats every year so they are just filling 2 seater rooms with 3 students. But the quality of rooms is great with a good wifi speed. Mess food is average and better than the hostels food at Kota. Hostel allotment is random and is done by admin itself. Renting a room outside is not allowed you have to live at institute's hostel.

For taking admission one have to qualify jee mains and then JEE Advanced. Talking about difficulty jee mains is not that difficult but jee advanced is considered as one of the toughest examination. You can find application form on the official site of NTA. jee mains is happened two times per year, where jee advanced organized only once a year. After qualify jee advanced you have to sit for jossa counselling where the college is allotted based on your score.

Faculty to student ratio is nearly 1:20, learning here I can say is far better than other engineering College but their is scope of improvement. All faculty have completed PhD in their respective domain but I personally don't like way of teaching from most of teachers. One can interact with faculty easily they are friendly in nature. They help you in your daily problems.
