Tushar Raut's Review On IIT Ropar - Indian Institute Of Technology - [IITR], Ropar

I chose the mechanical branch from IIT ROPAR, after studying research works in the mechanical field (mentioned in the mechanical department of the official website of IIT ROPAR) and nanotechnology. It was exciting to acknowledge that I belong to the same branch as that of the director of the institute ( S.K.Das). Although the lectures are going okay in online mode, the only demerit during COVID is the lack of hands-on exposure in labs.

The per month frequency of quizzes and End Sem exams, is quite hectic, as the syllabus covering is at a high pace. But as a Teaching Assistant is assigned to a group of around 30 students it is comfortable to roll on.

Microsoft, Saavn, Arista Networks, Snapdeal, Flipkart, TT Consultant, JCB are major companies for internship on campus. At least 40 working days are compulsory for a summer internship from the institute.

More than 90 percent of students get placed in Computer Science and Engineering. The average package is above 12 lakhs per student. IIT ROPAR is ranked 25 in engineering institutes ranking by NIRF. Overall 80 percent or more students get placed per year. I am planning for research after MTech in Mechanical Engineering.

From time to time information is updated via mail regarding NSP (National Scholarship Portal) to the students via broadcast facilities. SC and ST students need to pay around Rs. 15000 /semester. Specially abled students and girls are provided additional scholarship from institute.

FinCOM (Finance, Consulting, and Management), Dramatics, Arturo (Photography), Vibgyor (Arts), Alankar(Music) are very active clubs in the institute. The largest cultural fest in the North region ZEITGEIST is organized annually in December in the institute.

For freshers, 2 students need to share their room. Ceiling Fan (No AC yet), cupboard, bed, window, hangers, balcony(with a wonderful view of the campus) are provided in the hostel. Registration is done via hostel caretaker (for freshers, Chenab hostel-- west wing is allocated).
