The curriculum provides such a deep insght into real world problems and incorporates a blend of theoretical foundations and practice skills develpement and practical learning through hands-on projects etc. However there are areas of improvements, such as increasing the integration of emerging techonologies and industry trends into curriculum and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration among departments. There are two exam systems here, IIT Gandhinagar. Each time gap between these exams is approximately 7-10 weeks. The exam difficulty level is moderate to hard.
