Course Curriculum Overview

4

The course curriculum is quite different from all other engineering colleges, it is highly job oriented and real time technological aspects. This course on comparison with other institute courses prepares you really well for real world applications and further academic pursuits. Unlike every engineering colleges in India, IIITK does not have chemistry physics and biology during the first year it directly jumps on to the technical subjects and personality development subjects. There is one mid semester exam and one end semester exam along with lab exams before the end semester exams, regular quizzes and viva.

Internships Opportunities

4

Internship placement is done after sem 6 and sem 5, in campus internship placements are petty decent with stipends from 15,000 to 50,000 per month. Last 2 semesters will be more of a project and real life application based, which includes internal internships offered by institute and research paper publications.

Fees and Financial Aid

The complete cost of the course is around 14,83,000. There is tuition fee hike every year. No scholarship is provided by the Institute, students can apply for private and government scholarship and the college is ready to assist the student for application and procedure.

Campus Life

4

There are several clubs to join and grow your social and extra co-curricular skills, campus life is very amazing as the campus lies on a hill with a very scenic view on every corner of the campus. We have annual technical fest every year called APOORV, onam fest called AARAVAM, Freshers fest called ADAVYA, Intra sports Fest called PRADHVA, and many other fests on special occasions almost every month. College classrooms have air conditioning and digital screen teaching methods with several screens across the room for easier visibility. The library is open everyday except Sundays till 10pm, You can access the library anytime and borrow books for a period of 14 days. There is a e-Library provided by the institute with all the magazines and books available on the website. Sports and extra-curricular activities is not much focused by college but students can go and play in the college grounds and courts or practice their extra co-curricular activities whenever they want.

Hostel Facilities

3

Some rooms are of double occupancy and some rooms are of triple occupancy, enough space for luggage and 2 storage space(almirah) is also provided one desk and a chair for each student. Mess meal quality is not really good, don't expect much from mess food, menu on the other hand is very diverse. Rice and roti is always available with many options of curry. Hostel fees is 28,000 per semester. The hostel for first semester students/ freshers is assigned outside campus. Construction of more hostels are going on, soon freshers will also have hostels in campus.

Placement Experience:

As seniors said the average package is around 10lpa.If you have descent skills and above 8 cgpa you will get this average package. If you upskill yourself with effort which many students do here then you can also get above 15lpa which many seniors got.The highest package was off-campus by an ECE Student in Google despite having cgpa around 6.He had very good skills as a full stack developer.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for placement from the 7th semester and internship from 3rd semester. You can apply for internship on your own right from first semester but college gives aid from 3rd semester. The major recruiter is ISRO which offers 40-45 jobs for aerospace engineering. Also other companies like CDac Airbus Boeing and DRDO and HAL visit for recruitment. Nearly 85-90% students get placed while some opt for Higher education and research too. My primary goal is to get into ISRO also I will be preparing for gate examination to complete my IIT dream.
