IITG in a nutshell

The environment is great. It's so pleasant and green. It's amazing to be a student here. The students are very friendly and kind. There is a vast variety of flora and fauna available. The only downside is that being away from main city, we don't get much attention.

The course curriculum is highly enjoyable. The exams are pretty open ended and do not require rote learning. If you have interest in design, you will never find yourself trying to forcibly memorise anything.

Most jobs are in the Ui UX sector. However there are other options flourishing as well. There is around 95% placement with average CTC of 20 LPA. Institutional internship is available. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Sprinklr, Nutanix, DE Shaw are out top recruiters.

There is always something event happening thouroughout the year. Alcheringa, the annual cultural fest of IITG receives a footfall of over 1 lakh people. Techniche, the annual techno management fest is also not far behind. People from all over the country come to enjoy the festival and serene environment.

The fees are comparatively pretty less. For Design department, the fees are around 1. 36 Lakhs per semester, which is much lesser than other colleges with same course structure. The mess fees are around 17k.

The toppers from each batch receive a scholarship of 2 lakhs from the college. Though it is not as easy as it seems to be a topper. It sure is amazing to gain the scholarship. About loan, it's available. If your annual income is less than 5 LPA. The process is hassle free and pretty reassuring.

There are a lot of clubs available to participate in. We have fully functional sports courts with all the facilities. Many workshops are carried out all year. There is more male participation than female.

The boys hostels have single room (no sharing), while the girls get one room mate. There are around 12 hostels, all with canteen, mess, sports rooms and all other facilities. Water and electricity is available 24/7 and even hi speed wifi is available. It's a pleasure to love in IIT Guwahati.

There is a vast aluminum network. They all come to IITG during alumni meet. We get to talk to them and learn about the industry. They all are extremely helpful and generous. They are friendly and do reach out to us whenever needed.

I chose design at IIT Guwahati because it is one of the best design departments in India. It is also internationally famous for being one of the leading Ui UX research institute. The entrance exam is Undergraduate Common Entrance Exam for Design (UCEED). Over 15- 20 thousand students appear for the exam and only a few toppers get into an IIT as the seats are very less (45 in IIT Guwahati). Reservations come into play of course.

Availability of top class faculty is there. All the professors are very talented and educated. They are well versed in their topics as well as other subjects. They are not strict and more like friends.
