Jitendra Sharma's Review On IIT Delhi - Indian Institute Of Technology [IITD], New Delhi

The college is wonderful the best in India the management needs to give students more freedom as it very restrictive.

IIT JEE - Rank 1570 CAT- 99.27 percentile I wanted to study in IIT always so there was no confusion. Did not appear for any other exam for engineering.

It was very good total no of credits were 216 with 4 credit courses to be done there were fixed core courses followed by some core electives which were optional. It was followed by 30 credits which had to be taken from other courses like management, computer tech, humainities and social sciences and energy sector there were two research based projects.

It does not provide internship. It only provides stipend for those who pursue M.Tech and are given 7000 per month for that.

Placement is good almost everybody places. Packages ranging from 5-6 Lakhs to even over crore packages. Also, companies from Consulting to investment banks and from core to general consulting companies are included in placements.there are large no of startups who are now part of placement process.

Cultural event is called rendezvous and is done at a very large scale. there are inter college events along with rock show and live shows like singing shows and celebrity shows.there were jam sessions also the tech fest is known as Tryst where people demonstrate their techincal projects also, there is sportech which included competition among all colleges of delhi and IITs.

The fees structure is 36000 per year for tuition fees and there are mess fees of 8000 per semester. However, there are lot of scholarships like Merit cums means scholarship and others which are available. also, there are frequent fees hikes.I heard the fees is now 1 lakh per annum now.This is unfair.

Gender ratio was very skewed one can imagine that there were 2 girls hostel and 10 boys hostel there were several parties like house day, socials and all. There was healthy politics also which was inter hostel and intra hostel too all in all it was wonderful experience.

Hostel facilities were really good the lawns and gym were good the mess food was messy and need to be really improved. There should be more role of students in deciding the food and all for first year the room was shared with one other guy but from second year onwards, every student had a own room.

There is an alumni network and there are pan india events i have been unfortunate to not been in India to attend any of them yet.

There were too many exams in each semester there were 2 minor exams followed by a major exam at the end of each semester also there were certain quiz in classes some of which were surprise quizzes also, there were lab assessments. so there were virtually exams every other week.

There was two step process first was screening test which was objective followed up by a mains test which was subjective and had to be answered in answer sheets screening test was in December and the mains test was in march. The result was out in june and session started in july.

Faculty were good an interactive they need to however be more interactive and try to make lectures more interesting. There was also less focus on laboratory the lab infra was how ever good and could be make more to use the faculty were qualified and able some were just M.Tech from IIT and should not have been appointed.Others were good. More exchange profs need to be bring.
