Insights into life at IIT Roorkee

Course curriculum is very comprehensive and includes adequate and comprehensive practical work and onsite visits. Thus, we are well prepeared to face the real world challenges. The exams - minors and majors are well designed and helps us to judge our level of understanding of the core concepts.

We get internship opportunities at many companies. Personally I chose to get internship via my own connections at Omaxe Builders for onsite civil engineering experience of construction of apartments. Also, one intership was done at UP-PWD for bridge construction in Lucknow. No stipend was offered in these.

Placements are good. Specially Computer Science guys get high package. Core sector companies also visit the college. Even many PSUs come to college to recruit. Even without a campus placement, lot of opportunities for off campus placement with an IIT tag and a strong alumni network.

Being a government college, the fees are noiminal. Around 40k for a semester. Scholarships are avialable for meritorious students. MCM scholarship is popular. Also, for reserved category of students, there are many scholarships and fee wavier. Students can avail intership opportunities via a strong alumni network.

Overall campus life was good. Many societies for extracurricular development. NSS, NSO, NCC verticals are very well developed with a healthy interaction of seniors and juniors. Infrastructure is good. Big parks, gym, sports infra, good labs, big and high tech classrooms and much more.

Hostel facility was good for 2nd, 3rd and 4th year. It was affordable. Food quality was good and provided a good refreshment for students. Further, we had high speed internet and places to socialise in the hostel. Good facilities to suppor the students.

Admission process was smooth. It was via IIT-JEE exam. The top rankers got into the best courses of the college. For My course of civil engineering you need to get a rank of around 2500. Exam frequency - Held every year. The Admission process was onile+Offline. Hence we had opportunity to visit and see the lush green campus. Support team was good.

The faculty is highly experienced and knowledgeable. The faculty to student ratio is not that good and this hinders 1:1 interaction and personal mentorship experience. The way of teaching and lab works are very good. The teachers are available to guide but you need to be pro-active to extract guidance from them.
