IIT GUWAHATI insights.

I chose this course because it's unconventional. Seeing its need in recent times of Lockdown, I found this course promising. Also, not to forget, I wasn't getting any high demand courses (like CSE, DSAI, etc.) through my rank. Exams happen just like every other branches and profs are awesome ( as they should be).

Students get internship opportunities from first year as well. There are many companies that come for hiring as intern. There is a whole intern session for third year students. Almost every student get intern here.

The placements of this college is descent. With approx 80? students getting placed while other opt for higher studies. My plans after getting the degree, for now, is also like others, to get placed with descent package.

I belong to OBC-NCL with BPL card, so I didn't have to pay tution fees which is 1lakhs per semester. However the mess and other fees (total of 56000), I pay every semester. Yes, There are scholarship opportunities that college offers and also financial assistance but indirectly.

The life at campus is awesome (as it should be). There are many fests and events happen, one can't keep track of. I am already involved in so many clubs and fests that I go to my dorm at 3AM. UDGAM, ALCHERINGA, CHALCHITRA, TECHNICHE are some of the fests and there are clubs of each field.

Hostel facility is also quite good. You'll get double occupancy room with one shelf, two chair-tables, fan, floor of tiles, ventilation and two windows. Mess here has variety of foods ranging all over the Indian foods. The quality is also nice but you'll get bored after eating every week the same thing (just like home's).

The admission process was handled by JOSAA and final verification occured at the college.and as an OBC-NCL student, I got reservation in the counselling. For improvements, I don't think I faced any such difficulties, JOSAA handled it pretty well.
