IIT Gandhinagar Unboxed

As I am Btech student, the curriculum is pretty similar to that of all IIT's, so I am in computer science discipline, So as you know I was interested to explore in the field of AI, so I have to obviously choose computer science and curriculum really has some group projects and hands on projects and also some industrial projects which will help us for real world applications. Improvements can be considered where they can build a competitive spirit, because in college it's very hard to be motivated everytime, sometime we zone out for few days doing nothing so I think that can be improved...The frequency of exams is quite hectic I must say, and the difficulty varies depending on the exams , so I can't really comment about it, but as IIT's have this continuous evaluation, we almost have quizzes and exams every week

There are all kind of roles and many companies, I am not sure about the all names, because I am still in my 4th semester, but a good number of companies do come. One other advantage is to take a project, we are free to take any project regardless of our discipline, and that's great to be honest

From 7th semester they are eligible for the placements, I am still in my second year so I am not sure about all the companies and their offers, I ll list a few like Barclays, atlassian, HDFC, Google, etc I think highest package this year is 85 Lakhs, and average package is maybe around 20 Lakhs. They won't be sharing the percentage of students getting placed so I don't know about it. My plan is to get placed in the college itself

From the time I came I didn't really find any tution fee hikes, I got to know that it hikes few before I joined, and there was a bit uprising from students too who opposed it, but yeah it didn't work. The complete cost of education including tution hostel and all other is 1,46,000 per semester,..My institution also provides tution fee waiver for econinally weak students. There are so many scholarships available like Reliance scholarship, FFE, Yuva Unstoppable, and there are alot of donor scholarships too, they help you out if you have a genuine economic problem. I am still in my second year so I didn't really have any employment

Atleast in my college the college life isn't really great compared to other peer institutes, the fests held are Amalthea, Blithchron and they will be help in Nov, March. But they aren't that lively because of less strength of our campus. I must say there are a wide range of books available, we can even get books on our request too, my library is really good and wide. The technological provisions with classroom all are the high-end, and we are provided with the best facilities. All our clubs are student run, that's one of the speciality of our campus, but I don't think they have a impact on our college life, I think it takes a few more years, for them to have a impact

We are provided with AC and cupboards and study table and chair and all study lamps, I just say Our hostel has the best facility, even the house keeping staff clean our room and hostels regularly and keep our hostel clean. Coming to mess food, quality, I must say that quality is high class, we have also been awarded for the five star quality for the message because it's very hygiene, but the message menu is not interesting all the days, somedays it may not be your liking. Everyone who live in hostel must take the hostel room itself they can't be taking a rented room, staying in IIT's hostel room is a must

I have joined an IIT, so my process of admission is through JoSAA councelling itself, so eligibility would be have atleast 75% in MPC subjects in your boards to give JEE advanced examination, and about the application details you can find in the JoSAA website itself by finding the college you are interested in, And of course JEE advanced is the toughest exam, it happens after the two mains examinations, well I felt there could be improvement, if they started the college after a week of councelling or two weeks of councelling, because if they start right after counseling, for people who are waiting till round 6 of councelling, it's really difficult for them to reach campus, due to this, I had to freeze my choice in round 5, because of which I missed the college I wanted
