My first year at IITPKD

The course structure of Computer Science and Engineering is the best course offered by the institution, according to me. Within a year, the course of CSE opened the doors of knowledge to us and got us educated across the breadth and depth of the subject. Unlike other colleges offering various CSE programs, IITPKD particularly made us well acquainted with the modern forms of technology such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning and High Performance Computing through well designed courses during this year and always boosted us to eye for innovation by implementing these technologies in our projects. The curriculum was very adjustable and never made us feel monotonous. Lab classes were scheduled very often throughout this year to help us grow interest in the particular field. Free time is always provided to us for doing the research work on the ongoing lessons.

The placements offered by IITPKD is undoubtedly the best.The Career Development Center (CDC) offers the eligible candidates with well deserving placements. The placement cell always aims to achieve the best possible placement outcomes. Students are offered jobs depending upon their field of interest and credentials, to fruitfully pursue their career interests. Internships are conducted by the college at the end of the 4th and 6th semester, during the vacations as the college encourages the exposure of its students to industrial grounds. I have seen seniors applying for internships and successfully completing them. A stipend of about Rs. 6000/- per month is provided to all the selected candidates.

Several special lectures and seminars are conducted by the college in presence of eminent personalities that encouraged me a lot. Inter-IIT sports meet is conducted every year and all the willing students are granted the permission of participating in the event.

The total fees structure of IITPKD is about 8.34 lakhs for the four year B.Tech course. The fees seemed to be a bit expensive for me, but the dedicated educational services they provide is extraordinary.The well-furnished labs and classrooms provided to us was incredible.

Being a CSE student, labs are really important to us. Labs are very well-furnished with a huge number of computers set up to meet the expectations of all students. The library here is astounding with a huge range of books and novels belonging to different genres. I personally love to spend my time in the library. Extracurricular activities include cricket, basketball, badminton and many others. College teams are also made in the respective fields. There are also gym facilities for the interested ones. The safety of all students in maintained all through the campus and a basic knowledge on sexual harassment is given to each and everyone of the student irrespective of their gender, religion, caste and creed.

IITPKD is a residential college having different hostels for both male and female candidates. I myself stay in the campus hostel and share my room with another student. The rooms could have been better but have a good sanitation facility. Each one of us has the independence of maintaining privacy and ragging is strictly prohibited in the campus.

Being a newcomer to this institution I have received a lot of help and guidance from the seniors. They have always been supportive and helped me get well accustomed with the prevailing environment of the college.

My admission in the esteemed institution was through All India JEE Advanced Entrance Examination. The eligibility criteria for appearing for the entrance exam was getting an aggregate of 75% in the 10+2 examination from a recognised board and then clearing the cut-off of the JEE Mains Examination. I secured a rank of 7941 and got admitted to the college. After the declaration of the results a document verification round was conducted followed by 6 rounds of counselling that finally made me get the seat. I have always wanted to pursue computer science and engineering as my subject and as I got it, there was no looking back to other options.

The CSE program of IITPKD offers a classic faculty with talented and hard-working researchers who are always down to earth. All of the faculty members especially Sandeep sir is very supportive. They are all very enthusiastic and keen to impart knowledge and always try to make us more dedicated towards this field.
