Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course curriculum in the mechanical branch is very practical and real-life based. for the real-world application, we have to learn LAB courses and research under the Professor in the Technical Field. In some courses, we learn a lot of real-life applications like AFM, CFD, Theory of machines, and Design of machine elements. and also from the Mechanical workshop, we have experienced lots of things which is related to real-life problems. We should focus on those courses, in that you are more interested in those courses. and also college teaches us some HSS courses which are not related to the mechanical field. For improved teaching methods, colleges should teach with more practice in the lab and also numerical with offline mode. There are two major exams in our college Midsem and endsem.in some courses, the teacher also takes some quizzes on the weekend. In the Midsem, Questions come which is not tough because syllabus is not more compared to Endsem because whole syllabus is coming.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 300000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

I am saying in simple words. total fee for one semester is around 1.5 lakhs. all fee is included in this. Like medical, tuition fees, mess, and hostel. The complete cost of B.tech in IIT Mandi is around 12 lakhs. There are some scholarships here that are provided by the organization and also Government scholarships. For the SC/ST and PWD categories tuition fee waiver is provided by Government. Also for OBC students if they have an income certificate, that is less than 1 lakhs, a tuition fee waiver is provided. A girl who has more than 7 CGPA has to submit zero tuition fees.

Campus Life

There are many festivals in our college. like fests are XPECTO, RUVAAN, EXODIA, KALA, RAN-NEETI.all clubs have many fests monthly and on weekends. All National festivals are celebrated in IIT Mandi like Independence Day, Janmashtami, Diwali, Republic Day, Holi, etc. IIT Mandi has very clubs related to culture and Technical. such as MUSIC, DANCE, DRAMA, ROBOTICS, literal, SAE, YANTRIK ETC. For sports, All outdoor and indoor games are provided. All books are available in the library which are related to our courses and others.

Admission

I had gone to Kota to prepare for jee mains and advanced exams. and after qualifying for both exams fill Jossa Conssling and I got IIT Mandi with mechanical Branch. first of all, you should 75% marks in the 12th board exam. otherwise, you can't sit in jee advanced exam. You can Directly fill out the form on the official website and proceed. the application fee for Jee Mains is 1k and for Jee Advanced 2.9k. You can fill out the Jee mains form nearly last December or starting January. and for jee advanced you can fill nearly April. when you qualify for Jee Mains then you can be eligible for Jee advanced exam. in my time I have 4 attempts for JEE Mains in one year and 1 attempt for JEE Advanced. For Jossa Counseling you should have all the documents that are needed to fill out the Jossa counseling form. As cast, residence, category, income,12th,10thmarksheets, and Medical certificate.

Likes

Infrastructure and quality of education and supportive professor for building our success career
Very supportive atmosphere for growth in any engineer branch
Very good approach towards creativity innovations and practical projects

Dislikes

Lack of auditoriium so most of gathering will be in open air theatre

Placement Experience:

The placement opportunities at my college are average. A few reputed companies visit the campus each year, but the number of offers and salary packages varies depending on the branch and market conditions. Students who have strong academic performance, technical skills, internships, and good communication skills generally have better chances of getting placed.

The campus really respects diversity. Students from different states and countries study together and that inclusion makes a big difference
The infrastructure and fab faculties are unmatched, for people dedicated to carrying out research, they have almost everything atvtheir disposal
Extra curricular activities make sure one is involved in multiple volunteery things rather than just academics

Dislikes

Relevant placement opportunities with good packages can be improved
The fee for courses could be regularised
Mode of exam conduction should be completely offline to ensure transparency

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for placements in last semester. They can choose to sit in placements and select if they would like to join the company theyve been selected for. Eligible candidates do end up getting great packages

Dislikes

I dont like the quality of food that is provided in the mess
Also the room size is relatively small
I also dont like the fact the online food delivery is limited to campus gate

Course Curriculum Overview:

I think that the course curriculum in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness is good after first year. But in the first year a student has to study the basic subjects of all the branchs which is not needed

Honestly I initially thought of branch change and college in some what cold place which led me to this college. Our college is moderate in comparison to other iits, obviously you cant compare it with old iits , but yeah its decent enough, having good students and friends. Placement of four college is better than other iits. Some years result in placement ogf good no. of students whereas some leads to okish. The sport facilities are ok. Swimming pool is not of olympic size and it requires lot of time for repair of the sport equipments. Admission process is through Jossa counselling after JEE Advanced. I applied for VIT, NIT BHOPAL, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Jammu, IIT BHU, IIT Ropar, NIT Durgapur, and many of the IITS and NITS. I choose only this so, didn't fill for confirmation for others. No I hadn't got rejection. Eligibility of my college is JEE Advanced cutoff abnd min 75 % in 12th....Read More

IIT Mandi

Because I am from Himachal, IIT Mandi was one of my top choices, and there was a certain optimistic feeling that drew me in after seeing the campus. The college is the IIT family's newest member. According to the new IIT, the college's placement record is excellent, and the staff is well-known for its innovative teaching methods. IIT Mandi offered a fantastic M.Tech in Power Electronics and Drives programme, which was just what I was looking for. To be accepted into the college, an applicant must pass the GATE exam and earn at least 60% in the B.Tech programme. After passing the GATE, the candidate must attend COAP counselling....Read More
