Unveiling the Experience at IIIT Guwahati: A Student's Perspective

I chose this course because I was a little bit interested in the field and it was the best course I could get depending on my rank. The faculty-student ratio is quite good and also teacher's assistants are also available for more ease. All the faculties are well qualified having multiple degrees from the top universities of the world. The teaching methods of the faculties are also very nice. They try to establish each concept in the minds of students. The exams are held timely like midsem exams were conducted for us.

Companies such as Blackstone, Apple, Amazon, Adobe, Facebook, Flipkart, Nvidia, etc. provided internship opportunities at the campus. Also, a total of 215 students were provided pre-placement offers by the companies.

According to my knowledge students who are in the 7th semester are eligible for the placement opportunities provided by the campus. The international companies are Google l, Microsoft, JP Morgan Chase, American Express, Texas Instruments, Uber, Qualcomm, C-DOT, Enphase Energy, and Oracle, and Indian companies are Reliance, Bajaj, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, and many more giving a total of 246 companies. A total of 1,112 students were placed on the campus which accounts for 78.04% of total students across all programmes. No. of international offers provided was 20.

The cost to study at IIT Guwahati is approximately 150,000 for each semester. I don’t have much knowledge about the fee hike policy of the institute but as it is a government body it must be not very much. As of now, scholarships are available for SC/ST, pwd, and Gen(EWS) students. As a first-year student, there is no job opportunity on campus with a stipend.

The annual fest of the campus is ALCHERINGA which is from the 2nd to the 5th of February. The techfest of the campus is TECHNICHE which was held from 31st August to 3rd of September with multiple events and programs for students. The library on the campus is a huge one with hundreds of books and journals in each field.

The first-year students get a shared room in the hostel equipped with appropriate furniture proper lights and fan and a cupboard. The quality provided by the mess is very good. The menu is also very good providing a variety of food to the students which is revised every month. Also, there is a mess assessment held each month online for the betterment of the quality of the meals. The registration process is along with the admission process. So it is quite easy and the fees are included in the total fee of the semester.
