IIITDMJ, a hidden gem!

I chose this because I had an inherent interest in machines and mechanics. Mechanical in IIIT is different from traditional mechanical courses and incorporates industry important skills into the course. More practical approach could make this course even better. Difficulty level always depends upon the professor and that particular course, although by studying a little bit everyday, decent grades can be scored but to get a top grade, you need to study much harder.

Google, flipkart, Goldman Sachs, Booz Hamilton, Adobe ,Amazon provide intership to the students and are quite popular in the campus. There are several projects which one can do. Opportunities are endless if you care to grab them.

Highest and average packages differ branch to branch. Placement percentage also differs branch to branch with CSE and ECE having significantly higher placement percentage than Mechanical and SM. Although I would say it's pretty much upto you.

Tution fee increases by a few thousand rupees every year. Complete course including tution fee, hostel and mess fee can be covered under Rs. 8 Lakh. And personal expenses are totally upto students. Numerous scholarships are available among which MCM is the most prominent one where all tution fee is waived and a stipend of 12000Rs an year is awarded to the scholars. MCM is on the basis of rank in the first year and on the basis of grades in second year.

There are many fests among which prominent ones are Tarang, Enthuse and Gusto, cultural, sports and technical. Almost all books you need are available in library. Classrooms are well equipped and ergonomically very comfortable. Sports facilities might be one of the best among all premier technical institutes of the country, with IIITDMJ consistently winning INTERIIIT. There are many clubs where you can find community of like minded people.

Food is good enough and menu is well balanced. Hostel is mandatory and it's quite affordable and only costs 11000rs per semester.
