The truth to campus life in IIT Bhubaneswar

The course metallurgical and materials engineering deals with the various kinds of materials in our lives and how to analyze materials and improve their performance in certain aspects. The curriculum is very well structured in that it gives us students an idea of how we can use the knowledge we gained in our studies for real-life applications and also gives us the ambition to further our studies. The course curriculum is impeccable in my opinion. The exams are placed at perfect intervals to not allow us time to laze around.

Companies like Jindal Steel and Accenture provide internship opportunities for the students. They conduct a preliminary exam and the students who qualify in them are then picked to undergo GD and PI. They provide decent stipends.

The campus placement starts around August and is in full swing by December and January. There will be many tech companies making placement offers in December and January. The minimum salary is 10 LPA and the maximum salary during placement differs each year but is roughly around 45 LPA. The average salary during placements in 12-15 LPA. A student can also consider getting an MBA after getting their degree.

GEN & OBC Institute Fee - Rs.100000 Tuition Fee - Rs.15000 Hostel Fee - Rs.18000 Total Fee - Rs.133000 SC & ST Institute Fee - Rs.0 Tuition Fee - Rs.15000 Hostel Fee - Rs.18000 Total Fee - Rs.33000 There has been an increment in the hostel and mess fee almost every year and this is not completely acceptable.

The campus life here is a bit exciting with it having 4 fests; E-Summit, Wissenare, Alma Fiesta & Ashvamedha. They are generally held in the starting months of every year and bring a lot of fun and enjoyment to the student's life. The library is decently sized with average reach to books regarding non-academic areas but is sufficiently equipped to meet the academic needs of a student. The classrooms have all the facilities a student can want. The campus is built over an extremely large area of land thereby allowing it to have a playground for many different kinds of sports and games. Clubs here are focused on Drama, Economics, Coding, Singing, and many more and allow the students to acquire and improve different skills that might help them in real life.

The rooms allotted to students are single occupancy and very comfortable to stay in. The menu in the hostels covers many varieties and the taste is up to standard levels and by no means is it extraordinary. There is no separate procedure to register for the hostel as all students are required to stay on the campus. The hostel and mess is affordable though it is a bit overpriced when compared to the other institutions.

I have been admitted into the 4 year B.Tech Metallurgical & Minerals Engineering in the Indian Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar. I got the seat after I cleared my JEE Advanced in the year 2021. The exam takes place only once a year after the JEE Mains exams are completed and the qualified candidates can apply to write the JEE Advanced exam to get a chance at securing a seat in IITs. After the Jee Advanced exam is completed and the results are released there will be a counseling website through which you can apply for NITs or IITs. The counseling website is published on the web by the government and after the choices are fixed, the counseling process takes place round after round and you get a seat based on your choices. The frequency of exams is just right and will give students ample time for preparation. The JEE advanced exam is one of the toughest exams in India. There should be more time between seat acceptance and reporting to the institute.
