M Satyanarayana Murthy's Review On IIT Roorkee - Indian Institute Of Technology - [IITR], Roorkee

I have appeared for GATE-2013, Got All India Rank of 369, Got a seat through counseling at the campus.

The course work is quite good with improvements made in recent times. The course work is getting updated continuously with feedback from students and industry standards. Many of the courses are helpful for the industry as well. Course work is helpful for placements as well as the internship process.

Yes, there are many internship opportunities provided by the institute. The stipend depends on the company to which the students are going. The normal value is around 22,000.

The placements are also quite good at IIT Roorkee. For the graduates as well as postgraduates, there are so many opportunities as there are so many companies visiting the campus every year. The students get a healthy chance of getting placed from the campus.

We have multiple events at IIT Roorkee. The technical fest being named Cognizance which consists of technical events like paper presentations, posters, debates. The cultural fest is named Thomso which includes various events like a fashion shows, bands, skits, dramas. There is also a traditional music session named Spic McKay.

I haven't availed but there is a loan facility available for all the students who got admission in the campus. They don't need to pay anything. Everything will be taken care of which is very helpful for the middle/poor economy families.

I got good support from my seniors. The alumni network is good at IITR. Currently, almost the previous 50-year batches are connected through a social network that is very active to share their talents.

The exam schedule is good. The exams were not very frequent. We had a couple of internal sessions and then the semester examination. The students have enough time to prepare and do well in the examinations. We have exams at regular intervals to test our preparation.

I have applied for admission though online and then attended the counseling at the campus. Received the seat in the first round of counseling. After having the admission offer from multiple institutes, I have decided to join IIT Roorkee based on its reputation and history.

The faculty is quite good. They all are doctorates from either IITs or any reputed international universities. So we can understand their standard. They are not only focused on placements but also research work. Many of the students have multiple publications which help them for getting admissions in further studies.
