What Students Say

Likes

I liked the ambience and peace at the college. Quiet good.
Faculty here is the best, mostly from the older iits, so very experienced.
Senior culture is good, very helpful seniors.

Dislikes

Club culture is not upto the mark, diminishes after the half year of start.
Gender ratio is not good, you'll see it once you get here.
Return of investment is not upto the mark.

Course Curriculum Overview

Academics are designed very good here, we get courses like history of technology, technology museum in the 1st year itself. Courses are aimed at overall development of the students and not just mugging up.

Class Size: 28Course Fees: INR 200000 per year

Placement Experience

Placements this year has seen decline as compared to 2 year back situation due to recession. Placements and internships offered have decreased lower in number as compared to previous situation. But still your future is secure, you'll get somewhere for sure.

Fees and Financial Aid

Easy financial student loans can be taken at the campus bank branches itself. Fees for lower caste students is comparitively lower than general students to ease them financially. Fees structure is not much expensive.

Campus Life

The fest organised are 4 in number, sports fest aarohan, technical fest advitiya, cultural fest zeitgeist, literary fest malhar. Club culture is growing here with a fast pace for sure. Library also here is really good and large, with a lot of books. Everyone is friendly here, you'll enjoy your life here if you are an extrovert.

Hostel Facilities

Hostels are newly made here and hence are real good for us atleast, 24x7 electricity and water supply is readily there, with wifi support. All hostels recide inside the campus only. Mess food also is not bad, but if you ever get bored, other outlets are also here.

Hostel Fee: INR 50000 per year

Admission

Admission is based on the all india level exam JEE Advanced which happens every year. So if you do good at it you'll easily get admission here. Quotas are specifically for girl students, students of schedules castes, with disabilities.

Faculty

3.5

Faculty members are quiet experienced here. They are from the older Indian Institute of Technologies, so they seem really into their field and quite brainy. They know how to do anything to train their students best.

Likes

The infrastructure is great with state of the art labs and equipment
The library is really nice place to study
Lots of hangout spots in and around campus

Dislikes

Less opportunities for core branches as less core companies visit campus
75 percent attendance policy for classes
Very high fees compared to other colleges

Placement Experience:

Companies start coming summer internships in the 5th and 6th semester though ,CG cuts are imposed so very less students are elgible to sit for these companies, The real placement season is 7th and 8th semester and many companies visit campus for placements. around 60 percent students got placed in the recent placement drive. The major recruiters are: Oracle, CISCO, JPMC,Deloite,IBM,ZS etc.

Likes

Infrastructure, most teacher behaviour, friendly students
Environment , cleanliness, colleagues etc
Course, Locality, Faculty, Management etc

Dislikes

Some high teacher behaviour, also that of professor
Frequent demand of money as fees n hostel charge
Gym is provided but only for name, no fame , always full

Course Curriculum Overview:

I’d rate the curriculum like 7/10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness — it covers all the major CSE subjects like DSA, OS, DBMS, CN, AI, ML, Cloud, Cybersecurity basics, etc., and honestly that was one of the reasons I chose this course because at least the core subjects are solid even if PTU keeps some old-school stuff in the syllabus. The curriculum does prepare you for real-world stuff, but only to a point — like, if you focus on coding labs and projects you’ll be fine for internships, but if you depend only on classroom theory then it won’t help much because industry wants hands-on skills. For higher studies also it’s okay because theory depth in subjects like OS and DBMS is decent enough. But yeah, improvements are definitely needed — some subjects feel outdated, teachers should use more practical examples, and we need more real projects instead of copy-paste lab manuals; also some faculty teach directly from slides which gets boring fast. Exams come twice per semester (sessionals) plus the final end-sem around December/May; they’re mostly easy if you write long answers, but tricky if you rely only on understanding because PTU likes theory-heavy questions. Overall, the system works, but it could be way more practical and industry-focused.

Good infrastructure, campus and faculty. Have to improve placements and industrial visits.

Likes

The campus is very green and clean. Infrastructure is good and one can feel fresh air here in campus
The faculty is excellent, almost all of the professors and assistant professors have a degree from renowned institutes. So they know their subject and field very well.
Hostels are good and affordable. Although the hostels itself are old, services are good and you get a nice room for the price/rent

Dislikes

The crowd isn't good. Always demotivated to do anything productive regarding studies. Some people are just here for time-pass
Very less site and outdoor visits. For practical experience, they should conduct industrial visits, but that happens rarely
Placements are really Dry and there is decline in company visits for placement.

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that good. Although companies come, there is a lack of mass recruiters or reputed organizations. One has to grind hard here for placements. If you're a CS student, you will have to face immense competition here. As for core branches, placements are severely dry. Students gets eligible in 4th year onwards for placements. Some of recruiters here are Trident, TCS, Reliance, Sonalika and other few. Every company offers around 10-15 selected students for a job. Highest package ever was 15LPA and average is 3.2LPA. Percentage placed is only around 15% here. My plans after the degree are to apply for govt exams.

The Library that remains open till 10-11 at night for those who wish to study till late
Great mentors and very helpful teachers who are always willing to help

Dislikes

The hectic schedule and curriculum that the students have to follow.
The lack of certain facilities that would help the students improve thoer personalities
Too much strictness and restrictions with everything that someone wishes to do

Course Curriculum Overview:

The interest in coding influenced me to choose this subject and course. The curriculum gets me ready for a 9-5 job which kind of gets hectic. The teachers could maybe schedule classes to give the students time to study what they want to and if they wish to do a course outside the university they have the time to do so rather than just going by the university curriculum

IIT Ropar is a remarkable college!

Eligibility for every single IITs is through JEE. For students who are in top 5000 in general category gets a call for IITs.

So, IIT Guwahati and IIT Gandhinagar were two IITs from where I got admission offer but since IIT Ropar was in my state, i took admission here....Read More
