What Students Say
Likes
- The mentorship quality is superb. We get to have mentors from our same branch who are currently in 3rd year where they support us and help gain knowledge about tech industry and relevant skill sets.
- You get interact to with like minded people in cultural clubs and technical clubs where you can gain a lot of knowledge like which carrier options to chose from. trust me!
- The quality of placements are really good and getting a 20+LPA is not at all hard if you're consistent enough. The ratio of getting a good package is pretty high.
Dislikes
- The grading system is completely in the hands of professor. It's his will to give good grades or bad ones. Generally on average a 7(B-) is given but some profs give a 6(C) for average.
- It's a highly stressful environment for people in non circuital branches which may be cause of some mental illness. Managing academics is one of the main primary tasks here and its definitely not an easy task for students in non circuital branches.
- It's Delhi environment so there is a lot of air pollution. You might feel some heaviness in your lungs or you may sleep a lot. That's the worst things about having a college in Delhi. The AQI is poor especially near Diwali
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum covers more topics than any other college can cover. In first year we are introduced to some basics of electrical,computer science and mechanical engineering. The curriculum is in depth and really interesting to study. I had found my courses interesting so far. The course curriculum might not prepare you well for the real-world applications but it makes sure you're just one step behind it which means you're capable of self learn that thing in a small period of time. One semester if of 4 months and after every month there is a mid sem and then an end sem. Quizes are conducted depending on the course but mostly every 2 weeks you will have a quiz.
Placement Experience
Getting into 4th year makes you eligble for placements. Top companies like Google, Microsoft, Mckinsey, BCG etc visit our campus and recruit a lot of people. The average package is usually around 18 LPA and the highest goes upto 3.5-4Cr for quant roles. In quant roles they need people to be really good with maths and problem solving. Even getting a shortlisting in quant companies is seen as a great achievement. Only a few people are able to get into quant jobs. The percentage of people getting placements is around 90%. My plans would be to work in the tech industry,join big tech firms,then start my own startup.
Fees and Financial Aid
There a lot of scholarships available. You can check this out on the iit d website. Some scholarships are even funded by alumni of our college. If you come from a poor backgroud you will most probably get a scholarship. The tuition fees is 1lakh to be paid every semester which is free for SC/ST students. The tuition fees for OBC students is around 67k. In the campus itself there is an SBI branch where you can avail education loans at low interest.
Campus Life
There are both social clubs and technical clubs. Social clubs include activities like dance,debate,fine arts,photography and technical clubs have things like programming, developments, aeromodelling and robotics club. The books referred in our academic courses are available throughout the semester if issued by the book bank which happens in initial weeks of a semester. Inter IIT is conducted every year for sports. There are lots of sports like hockey, weightlifting, cricket, squash, table tennis, badminton, Lawn tennis.
Hostel Facilities
You get three times a deal which is decent. Almost every mess has its night mess which opens after dinner for late night cravings. The meal quality and menu is maintained by BHM which is a board by students. The registeration process is simple you need to fill out 5-6 forms about your details to your care taker available when you have secured a seat in IIT delhi.
Admission
For my branch you need to have atleast a 6k+ JEE advanced rank. For qualifying JEE advanced you need to clear JEE mains depending on your category there are cut offs for the general it is around 91-93 percentile and for reservations like SC/ST the cut offs goes to 40-50 percentile. The marks for 91-93 percentile are around 90-120 but you should always aim for more. Everything can be found on by just googling their names and the cutoffs are uploaded on the jee mains website.No improvements should be done in the admission process because it seperates a disciplined one from the others.
Faculty
The professors are super knowledgeable, many of them have studied from IITD itself and when onto doing their Phd and M.tech. Many of the profs completed their Phd in 4 years. The teachers are approachable and are pleased to interact with students. Profs love interacting with students and are also sometimes looking for people within our campus for help in their research.
