Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum is good. First-year courses are common to all departments, and from the second year (3rd semester) we get specialized courses. I chose this course because I had an interest in Robotics and automation. The faculty-to-student ratio is nearly 1:50 but the professors are helpful and manage it very well. The faculty are all doctorates from international universities. Although the curriculum is old and has been the same for many years, the faculty has adopted newer methods to teach such as labs and PowerPoint presentations to teach. The exams are always on time. Examination dates are released at the start of the semester and never changed.
Fees and Financial Aid
Fee hikes every year. A lot of scholarships are available for students with family incomes below 9 lakh. The Institute dean regularly sends emails regarding scholarships. Campus placements take place every year.
Campus Life
Cultural Festival is Rendezvous and the Technical fest is Tryst. Both are conducted in March. The library is very well stocked. All required books are available. If it's not available, we get Scientific journal subscriptions as students of IITD. Classrooms are air-conditioned and there are projectors in each classroom. All sports have Institute and hostel, level teams. Extracurriculars are available from Music to Drama and Dance. All clubs are very active and regularly send out teams to represent IIT Delhi in inter-college competitions. All extracurriculars have clubs that are run by students and supervised by professors. We also have NSS on campus, again run by students, and SPIC MACAY and Enactus.
Hostel Facilities
The hostel Facilities are good. All hostels have music and dance rooms as well as sports facilities like footballs, cricket equipment, and basketballs. Rooms have 1 almirah, 1 cupboard, and 1 table and bed. We need to buy our mattresses. Food is very average but meals can be changed based on the likings of hostel residents. Hostels are allotted by the Institute. No registration is required. They are very affordable and only charge 6000 a semester.
Admission
The admission process was very rigorous. First, we need to clear mains, for which we need to come in the top 80 thousand people from over 10 lakh people all over the country, as well as abroad. Then we give JEE Advanced, which is a 6-hour long paper. To get a seat in an IIT we need to come in the top 15000 and to get in the top 3 IITs (Bombay, Delhi, and Madras) the fight is even more. We need to be in the top 10% of the country to get in. The application form is available online just by searching for JEE.
