Remarks
To sum up, my 4 years in the college was fantastic and I enjoyed every moment of it from an academic perspective as well as from a social point of view. In my opinion, IIIT will provide a very good environment to a student which will help him grow on a personal and professional level in these 4 years.
Course Curriculum Overview
Fo rme, I believe that the course is similar to that of BPUT. And I want to express my opinion here that I feel the curriculum is a bit outdated. Because, I don't think any engineering student needs to have a subject taught on renewable energy sources, if he/she is in Computer Science branch. Again, this is only my opinion, people might feel differently, but this is my take on this particular subject matter.
Internships Opportunities
Yes, our college does provide internship to the 3rd year students. Dell is basically the company which comes for providing internships to the students. They organize some coding quizzes and after that they conduct 3 rounds of interviews namely Technical - , Technical - 2 and finally the HR round. I was not selected but the stipend they provide is of a very good amount.
Placement Experience
The overall placement scenario is very good with 95 percent of the total batch getting placed. During our placements that is in 2018 around 19 companies visited the college like Infosys, IBM, Dell, ITC etc. who provided multiple job opportunities to the students.
College Events
Every year, we have a brilliant fest called - Advaita. It is a 4 day thing where everything happens, from technical competitions to entertainment and DJ night programs. Every year, different celebrities are invited to perform on that night. And talking about the events throughout the year, we have small events and competitions that happen every now and then which will provide ample opportunities to the students to showcase their amazing talent.
Fee Structure And Facilities
To some extent, it feels a little bit on the expensive side, but the facilities that the college provide, compensates for the little bit extra that goes from your pocket. For 2018 batch - We had to give roughly 70,000 every semester. This was our structure, and I have heard that they have increased it further for the new batches.
Fees and Financial Aid
For the EWS, our college provides a substantial amount of waive. During our batch when the regular students had 70,000 as their fees, it was 14000 for the EWS students. I think this was a very good thing that our college to help those students. And while taking admission, the college will give you the exact fee structure which will help you to avail a loan in any bank easily (if required).
Campus Life
We have a beautiful ground at the back of the college. We have regular cricket and football matches there. Regarding the labs, we have ample electrical labs, computer labs and chemistry labs. And each labs are well equipped with the required materials so no complaints there. And for sports activities, small competitions happen throughout the year which can determine your selection in the college team. And if someone is interested in sports, then he/she can play and get selected for the college team.
Hostel Facilities
Hostel infrastructure and facilities is something that totally exceeded my expectations. IIIT Hostel is one of the best when it comes to rooms and all. 3 seated and 4 seated rooms are present in the hostel and each rooms are quite big and 3/4 people can easily live there. The rooms are very clean with the cleaning staff keeping it clean everyday. I had not seen that kind of maintenance anywhere before. The living situation is a very big plus point when it comes to IIIT.
Alumni/Alumna
Seniors and Alumini are very helpful. If you find any one of them in the social media sites and ping them for help regarding the details of the college, they will surely help a person out. Regarding the seniors, they are very friendly and will help you with anything. Be it a personal problem, or any academic advice, the environment is such that you can walk into their room and can ask for advice and you will get it for sure. That is the kind of freedom that is there between the senior and junior.
Exam Structure
Basically we have two quizzes which is like an MCQ exam. One happens post the mid semester and one before the mid semester. That being said, mid semester of 30 marks is conducted and at the end of semester, you will have an exam of 50 marks. And each quiz is about 15 marks, total being 30.
Admission
I gave the JEE Mains 2014. And then after getting the results, I had to separately apply for admission in IIIT Bhubaneswar. There after submitting all my details in the given online form, I was notified after some days that I was selected for my desired subject. They had different cut offs, for different branches which is dependent on the number of seats that are there. And I got the news of my selection in the second round of counseling. And generally 5 rounds are conducted along with one spot round for the preparation of a final list of student eligible for admission.
Faculty
Well, here I want to say that you will find some of the very learned faculties who will go out of their way to help you in all and any doubts. I have personal experience in this where I called a professor from his home and he came just to solve the doubt of a couple of students on a weekend. Well, some are not that friendly, but that is the story of every college in India.
