Life at IIT Roorkee

Well the course is comsidered as the most difficult course because Electrical is Circuital branch so i choose this course because I have a keen interest in Electrical and also i don't want to choose an easy field so that's why i choose this course. The course is well integrated with the real world things also many subjects consists of practical classes also which give you the feel of real world applications. In this course many subjects are of no use or they are just theoretical so they have to be removed and replaced by the practical subjects so that they will give the feeling of real world applications. So the exam happens twice in a semester that is mid term examination and end term examination and consists some of the quizzes between the semester so the level of exam is bit hard but yes you can prepare for the exam in just one or two days before the exam and you will socre decent in exam like I am study just one night before the exam.

Like placements there are many big companies visit our college like Google, Microsoft, samsung, wells fargo, sprinklr, flipkart, qualcomm, etc. They offered roles like software development engineer, hardware engineer, data scientist, data analyst etc. The stipend vary between 50000 to 2 lakhs They give real word projects to work on which will surely build your skills and you will surely learn new things from that.

In the mid of 7th semester companies tests are started Many big companies came to our college for placements like Google, Microsoft, Flipkart, Samsung, JLR, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Intel, American Express, etc. So this year nearly about 900 offers were made by different different companies. Highest package is of 1.5 crores and the average is about 25 lpa So this year nearly about 1600 students are sit for placements but only 800-900 got placements till now. So basically i am placed in a company named EXL so i would join this and work hard.

As such there no such huge hikes in fees in our college because this is government college. So the complete fee of my college including tution fee, mess fee, hostel fee is nearly about 11.5 lakhs. There are many scholarships programs runs in the campus like MCM(Merit Cum Scholarship), Fee waiver depending on the criteria a student is eligible for that scholarship. As such there are no employment in the campus one thing is you do that is an internship under an professor that will give you a stipend of 10000 per month

So basically there are 2 main fest in our college one is Thomso it is a cultural fest which held in mid October and the other is Cognizance which is held in march and it is technical fest. So the library of our college is best you will find book of all the genre including your academics and literature, fiction, poems, medicinal, biology, etc. The classroom are very big, fully centralized air conditioned and are well developed consisting of smart board, whiteboard, projector, mic and speakers, etc. All types of sports facilities and extracurricular activities offered in our college so from the point of view of extracurricular activities our college is best. There are many social and technical student clubs in IIT Roorkee and all are managed by students like NSS, RMS, ARIES, Robotics, NCC, NSO, etc. It is better and advised to join a club/group either technical or social or both it will establish your connections in the campus and also strengthen your communication and other skills.

The hostels are very good like for boys Rajiv Bhawan is the best so basically in the room there is a cupboard, study table, chair, bed, tea table and there is a Lan port for internet connectivity The meal quality is very bad but the menu is good but the meal is tasteless but yes better than many colleges. The registration process for hostel is done itself by the administration and they are very affordable like in nearly 40000 you will get mess food, hostel for 6 months. There is no option for PG for btech students as of my knowledge.

So admission in this course is by qualifying the jee adavance with a rank of nearly about 1500 to 1900 The application form will be available on the official sit of Jee advance application fee is nearly about 1000 rupees and you will be eligible for jee advance if you qualify jee mains so the application date is in april for hee advance and for jee mains it is in nov-dec Jee adavance happens once in a year and consist of 2 papers on the same day of 3 hours each and it is very difficult seriously because it is the one of the hardest exam in india and jee mains happens twice in a year firstly in January and next in april from them the best of two jee mains is considered one one paper is there of 3 hours and not much that hard compared to jee advance. I think the admission process is very efficient and good one thing to improve is the variation of difficulty level in jee mains exam as there are 8 papers happen in jee main and there are of different difficulties so this had to be improved

The faculty to student ratio in our branch is very low like there are 175 students and there is one faculty for one subject but there are almost 50 teachers overall in our branch. And also there are separate sub batch of 20-20 students like there are 8 sub batches in our branch in which the teaching assistant of Professors teach so overall learning experience is great. The faculties are well trained, Professional and educated from well known universities but they teach not so good but ya of moderate level. Also some teachers are very good in our branch they teach so good, they clear everything like Vinay Pant Sir, Pramod Agrawal Sir, etc. We can interact with good teachers or the teachers which are having polite behaviour easily and frequently but some of the teachers having very rude behaviour so interacting with them is the worst thing.
