IIT DELHI college review by ARJUN

I am from the CSE department. This course attracted me because of the vast applications and opportunities it holds both in the corporate sector and entrepreneurship. This course at IITD makes you ready for te real world. It prepares you such that you can easily land jobs in various companies and earn a good living. The exams include one mid semester exam and ine end semester exam along with continuous evaluation in the form of quizzes and lab assignments. I feel that this course can be improved a little bit by introducing more CSE courses in the 1st year itself.

The internship opportunities provided are excellent. Many companies like samsung, google, Jane Street provide intership opportunities to students based on their CGPA and technical skills. The stipeneds are also pretty decent and may go up to as high as 15 lakh for 2 months of intern training.

IITD is pretty well known for its placement opportunuties. The average package in the CSED department may be around 35-40 lakh per annum and the highest package may shoot us as high as Rs 4 crore per annum. The companies include Jane Street, Microsoft, amazon, google and other well known tech giants and core companies from Indian and abroad. I plan to settle in a well paying job and later go in the line of entrepreneurship after gettingg my degtree. Almost 80 percent of the students are placed in my college. The students are eligible for the campus placements from the 4th semester onwards.

The campus life is pretty vibrant and awesome with a fest taking place almost every semester which helps relieve from the academic burden. The most rrenowned fests include Rendezvous, the cultural fest, and the techfest TRYST. The Library contains all sorts of books ranging from pure academia to novels, literature and social sciences. The classrooare well- equipped with projectors and other technologies for the ease of students. The campus also has a wide range of sport's facilites with big playgrounds where anyone can do anything.The general championship takes place annually and includes all sorts of sports like cricket, football, hockey, weightlifting, swimming, etc. There are many student groups that are the heart of campus like the BSW(board of social welfare), BSP( board of student publications) etc.

The rooms are provided on double or triple sharing basis. The rooms are sometimes suffocating and the washrooms not always clean. The mess quality is decent and the food is also very good. Each candidate has the option to accept the hostel facility or to drop it.

I applied to IIIT hyderabad and I got accepted on the basis of my JEE MAINS rank( which was AIR 286) . I mainly chode IITD over other college because it was my childhood dream to get into this college and it is very near to my home.I got in throgh the JEE ADVANCED EXAM.

the faculty is insanely helpful and good at IITD. There are various professors and teaching assistants who are always there to help students with their doubts. The ratio is typically 1 faculty for 40 students which makes the faculty pretty approachable. My favourite professor was professor Ashish Chiplunkar of the computer science department because of the way he made learning super fun and always ready to solve the student's problems.

The nightlife is extremely good, with many chillout spots in the campus being open upto 4 AM in the morning. Same goes for the library and when the exams are around the corner, there is no closing time. The locality is very much safe to roam around at any time of the day or night.
