IIIT Allahabad

The weather in Allahabad is bad. Gets too hot and humid. The schedule gets tight for the freshman batch's as they have to get involved in academic as well as extra curricular activities. The ragging culture is no more, although it's was not harmful at any point before it was sort of a culture, but no more due to some stupid seniors and juniors.

Majorly IT oriented, a bit of communication skills development courses and mathematics is also covered. Exam structure is like 1 quiz, mid semester, 1 quiz , end semester from 3rd year onwards there is semester project as well for which you have to select a professor as a mentor.

The job opportunities are the main outline of this college. If you are average student you would get 13-14 Lakh per annum job easily, and if it's a good day, you can grab more than 20 lakh. A lot of companies visit campus. Almost all the tech Giants eg. Flipkart, Amazon, Goldman Sachs. Even directi, CodeNation. This year google hired 6 from our college for SDE roles.

The fee structure is not that expensive, in past 2 years it has increased but still feasible comparing to other colleges. It's about 1,20,000. It was 76000 earlier in 2016 when I joined. The facilities are ample with free internet also.

The scholarship is provided to students who score 9 cgpa in the 1st year. It's near about 18,000 for every year, if you maintain that cgpa criteria.other than these all the schemes by the MHRD are well taken care of by the colleges as well. There's a special cell for this.

There are more than 1000 working systems in the college. There is a high computing lab in the college for deep learning, data mining and high you requirements jobs. 6 different cultural clubs, a sports club, a tech club with 5-6 wings.

Hostel are basic, the bathrooms are cleaned regularly. The water coolers are problem many a time.Every hostel has around 400-450 students. Badminton court in every hostel. Inside campus squash court, tennis court, basketball court, volleyball court, football ground along with athletics and cricket.

The alumni base is strong if you want to get a referral. In other aspects it's not that great. No one looks after it from the adminstration. So rarely any contact is there between college and it's almuni.

You have to apply for JEE Exam, get enough rank, apply for a list of colleges as per your preference, then based on merit list of various colleges you get you highest preference based on the merit list of the college.

Not the best you would see, but that's how it is in most of the colleges, some of them are very great. Other than these, seniors help out enough. Semester projects are not taken seriously enough by them which is sad.
