Amazing experience

College management is always on the run and very quick in resolving all student problems.

IIT JEE exam. I opted for IIT Roorkee because it is the best college to do an architecture course from. Also it a brand everyone would want to be associated with.

The course structure is rigorous and includes a practical understanding of architectural concepts. There is a tremendous focus on live case studies and examples which enables one to compare his/her projects with real-time projects. The course structure is hectic and one requires to be highly focussed to be able to complete the entire course duration.

In my understanding, the college does not provide internships. There are research assistants but I am not sure on the amount of stipends paid.

Campus placement is almost 100%. All renowned multinational and other Indian companies visit the campus. All IT companies such as TCS, Infosys, Wipro come for placements. Electronics firms, Oil companies such as Shell, you name it and it is there on the campus.

Thomso is the cultural fest in which all IITs and other major colleges participate. There is interest in IIT sports meet. Shrishti is the arts and culture meet in which colleges such as College of Engineering, JJ school of arts, etc. participate. All the events are at a very big scale and run for 3-4 days.

As compared to private colleges, the fee structure for IIT Roorkee is feasible. It is approx. 50k per term. Hostel fees and mess fees are nominal as well and affordable. Also since the college gives scholarships to students from ews, it becomes affordable for all.

There are family income-based scholarships that students can avail of by sharing proof of family income.

Campus gender diversity is poor, however, there is no discrimination on the basis of caste, gender, race, religion, etc. There are ample opportunities for extracurricular activities and cultural societies such as dramatics, dance section, music section, etc. which provides students with a platform to showcase and further enhance their talent.

Hostels are huge and every student manages to get the hostel room. In the first year, students get a shared accommodation post in which they get a choice to take an individual room. There are big lawns in each hostel and the hostel fees are feasible and manageable.

Senior students are very helpful and are always proactive in sharing notes, books, etc. They are always willing to help and provide mentorship.

Exams are frequent and the course curriculum is very hectic. There is hardly a break between the last class and the exams. One needs to study on a regular basis to be able to do well in exams. Sometimes, there are two to three exams in a day which makes.
