IITR : The college of many dreams

There is a lot of academic pressure at IITs, as you study with some of most bright minds of the country, there is a huge pressure to cope with them which leads many students to depression and unfortunately suicide! Every year suicides happen in IITs across India. Recently 3 suicides have occur in IITD and IITM last week. To tackle this issue a 'Wellness Center' works inside the campus to led students deal with depression and other issues.

As I am a freshman, I think the first year curriculum at every IIT, which makes everyone to study some common subjects is quite good. which helps students who want to change their branch after 1st semester, while bad for some as we are forced to study some irrelevant subjects with respect to our branch, those subjects include psychology, E.V.S.etc

IITs are the prestigious institutes of our country, they are the colleges with highest placements.Their is a huge scope for students of all department/branch to join various non-core internships and jobs. The average CTC for CSE branch in IITR is around 30LPA, followed by ECE, MSM and Electrical and many more. Besides their are various clubs to support startups.

The major events organized by IIT-Roorkee are: 1. Thomso - cultural fest of IITR 2. Cognizance - Teechnical fest of IITR 3. Sangram - sport fest 4. Rianzo - Alumni fest Apart from the above mentioned events IITrR also hosts various Inter IIT events like Inter IIT cultural fest (Organized in 2018), Inter IIT Technical fest (Organized in 2019). Besides various cells af IITR like NSS,NCC,cultural magzines organize their events inside and outside the campus.

Fees at IITs are quite expensive for General and OBC candidates, the fee structure for 1st year General/OBC B.tech is 1,41,000/- per semester. while for SC/ST candidates it is around 41,000/- per semester. (100% fee waiver is provided for SC/ST candidates)

Every student with family income less then 5LPA, are provided with 1/3rd tution fee wavier. Institute provides Rs.25000/- per month stipend to students with AIR less than 250 in JEE Advanced. Apart from these various alumni scholarships are provided to meritorious students of different departments.

IITs are funded by Indian government and hence are well developed in terms of labs for research. Every students has to join among National Sports Organization (NSO), National Service Scheme (NSS) and National Cadet Cops (NCC). IITR has a number of student groups like MDG (Mobile development Group), SDS labs, MaRS (Robotics group), Geek gazate (Technical magazine), Kshitij ( Cultural magazine), SPICMACAY (IITR chapter) and many more.

IITR constitutes of 15 hostels : 13 Boys hostels and 2 Girls hostel. Hostel here at IITs are quite old schooled but are best in terms of facilities. Every hostel constitutes of blocks namely block A,B,C,. All the first year boys are made to stay at 'Rajendra Bhawan' and girls at 'Sarojini Bhawan'. Every block at Rajendra bhawan is attached with a lawn. Every hostel has its own mess, gym and badminton court.

Yep, IITR has a vary strong alumni netwrok. This alumni group has even started organizing fest inside the campus. And seniors here are referred as 'Sir' and 'Mam', they are extremely helpful in guiding us with any difficulties in academics,personal life,relationships,etc.

I cleared Joint Entrance Examination Advanced (JEE Adv), 2019 to get admission in IITR. For Admission in IITs across India, one has to qualify two examinations. JEE mains followed by JEE advanced. Only top 1.25 lakhs students out of 11-12 lakhs are allowed to appear for JEE Advanced.

Till now, the faculty whom I met here are like average, some are quite good while others being moderate or bad at teaching. Faculties are only concerned with students attendance rather then actual understanding of concepts.
