How is IIIT Vadodara?

AY

B.Tech Computer Science, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara (2022)

As you will be spending 4 precious years of your life, it becomes very important to know both the bright and shady sides before choosing it. One of my friends is currently studying at IIIT Vadodara and here are some key highlights according to his first-hand experience.

PROS:

  • Responsible Faculty: You will be taught by intellectual teachers and professors. All the teaching and assistant staff are very helpful and are always there for your betterment. 
  • Cooperative Seniors: You will be surrounded by a bunch of talented and helpful seniors. My friend’s seniors were very friendly and always guided them on little tips and mistakes to avoid.
  • Campus culture: You will be given ample opportunities for showing creativity and talent through coding activities and other extracurricular activities. You can participate in ample clubs and their events like logical thinking, treasure hunt, mathematics, and other fun events.

CONS:

  • No permanent campus: Yes, there is no permanent campus constructed yet. The reason behind this is that the land allotted for the college campus is disputed farmland. Thus, the institute is currently running in Government Engineering College, Gandhinagar.
  • Hostel: Thenew hostel is about 32 km away from the temporary campus and is located in a remote place. You will be facing problems regarding traveling, medical facilities, etc. You will be allotted 3-4 occupancy rooms with rudimentary facilities. In addition, a hostel is mandatory for all, you aren't allowed to arrange accommodation by yourself.

Overall, there will be no compromise with the quality of education and company at IIIT Vadodara. However, the lack of campus and underwhelming hostels can be a big issue for many of you.

How is the IIIT Vadodara campus?

VP
Vedant Prajapati Posted On : March 24th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara

IIIT Vadodara is an Institute of National Importance. This is a tag for which one should compromise certain facilities and take admission here.

Negative factors:

The college does not have a permanent campus or hostel and does not expect to have it in near future.

  • The land allotted by the government for building the permanent campus was farmland. 
  • A court case was going on regarding the land issue so the students don't know if it is solved or not.
  • Every new batch of the college is assured that they shall be shifted to permanent campus at least in their final year. 
  • Ironically, the student doesn't know if the construction of the permanent campus has yet started or not.

The new hostel is about 32 km away from this institute campus.

  • The hostel is in a remote place and everything including the hospital, railway station, etc. is too far from there.
  • The hostel is mandatory for all, so no student from the next intake shall be allowed to stay on his or her own.
  • Hostel facilities are Room on a 3/4 sharing basis, Common bathrooms, Cafeteria, Stationery Shop, Playground, Emergency Vehicle.

The students have a lot of complaints against the administration, especially the registrar. The administration says that they don’t have enough funds for all the stuff that we require. No one knows where all the money goes.

Positive factors:

One might not get a lot of fun stuff in this college, but if your goal is to be a good Computer Science Engineer at the end of four years then this is the place.

  • One does not need all the high tech types of equipment which are required in other branches. 
  • The student has nothing to do with all the facilities but IIITV has sufficient stuff to fulfil one academic need.
  • Currently, IIIT-V only offers CSE & IT courses because of this, it is a good choice for those who aspire to strictly go for the computer branch.
  • College also has several amazing clubs and committees that organise several events from time to time.
  • Even though travel time from hostel to institute and back is too much, one can easily constructively utilise this time.

Overall, no matter where students go, it completely depends on the students to get the best out of it.

Does Mumbai University allow the students to change the college after 1st semester?

RK
Rhea Kumar Posted On : May 1st, 2026

Mumbai University (MU) college transfer after 1st semester:

college change within Mumbai University is theoretically possible but practically very difficult:

  • each affiliated college has independent admissions and seats. there's no central transfer mechanism
  • a student can apply for inter-college transfer if their current college and the target college both agree, and there's a vacant seat in the target college in their course-year combination
  • procedure: get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your current college ? apply to target college with NOC, proof of admission, marksheets ? target college grants admission if vacancy exists and they approve
  • colleges are under no obligation to accept transfers and most don't have formal mechanisms for it
  • for government-funded/autonomous colleges, transfer may be even more restricted

practically: mid-program college transfers within MU are very rare. it's easier to change college at the start of a new academic year (1st semester) than mid-way. contact MU's academic section and your college directly for the most current policy. many students simply complete their current program and apply to better institutions for PG.

Should I take MSc Maths at BITS Pilani?

SD
Shruti Dasgupta Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

Let me clear the general misconception that the level of MSc Maths at BITS Pilani is similar to the 10+2 level. Class 12th Maths is highly analytical while MSc Maths is full of definitions, theories, and proofs. The pedagogy adopted is poor and the majority of students study this subject despite a lack of interest.

For someone who has no interest in Analytical stuff, courses such as ERA, Topology, and Functional Analysis can be very challenging. Some courses which will intrigue you will be of no use because BITS follows the relative grading system where you are graded according to how well you perform as compared to others.

Overall, if you like complex theories and expressions then go for it, but if you too have no interest in complex theories it’s better to not take it. 

While many claims that Maths+CS is the best combo, let me tell you that you can take 3–4 Maths courses that help in CS as electives in your CS degree. MSc in Maths is a suitable option only if you are willing to pursue a career in Mathematical research, else the best dual degree option is MSc in Economics. The curriculum is light and knowledgeable.
