IIT Ropar: My Beautiful Journey

The college had been a part of my amazing journey. I had enjoyed every stage at the College. Even the admission procedure was very easy. I got the admission through the merit based after the cut off came. I got my selection to the college in the second cut off. Being from general category I was required to maintain little high score in the GATE Exam as well as in my bachelor's to be eligible for the admission I did it. I did not face any such difficulty while submitting my application just undergone interview process where few questions asked me about the course and few were from general topics. I had submitted my application through the official website and paid INR 250 as registration fees.

To be eligible for the course I had submitted GATE exam score where my score was 700. With this score it was not easy to be in the best colleges but i say that was my luck that I got into the college.

The course was easy and amazing. I had studied about the Discrete Mathematical Structures, Data Structures, Programming Paradigms And Pragmatics, Digital Logic Design, Analysis And Design Of Algorithms, Theory Of Computation, Computer Architecture, Databases, Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Software Engineering. Mostly the topics related to the subjects which I had studied in my bachelor's only. The faculty had used the latest technological methods to teach in an impressive manner.

I had worked as an intern with few startups as a product analyst. The work was entirely diffence from my course but just to have some sort of experience in the sector I had worked there. I had recieved a salary of ₹12000 per month.

My campus life had been amazing. It has a lot to offers. There were regular events conducted at the campus. It offers amazing infrastructure and beautiful seminar halls. Events the campus resides in the the urban area which offers availablity to explore the city. There were clubs and organisations, and I had participated in the students organization elections and won it, later chosen as a secretary for the same.

The university offers hostel facility within a minimum range. But I had my family residing in India itself so I did not bother to check about the hostel facility. However, I had heard that the food provided was delicious and proper hygienic conditions were maintained.
