What Students Say
Likes
- Career and Placement cell - my main concern for joining IITMandi was placement, and it was a write decision to join it . In 2023 , the median package for data science and engineering branch was 32 lpa and average was also similar to it .
- Upto date courses- The courses are updated and as per the industrial level . In the world AI and ML , there are three courses on Data science (1 , 2 and 3) compulsory for each branch , so there would be more interdisciplinair work.
- R&D in Robotics field- There is separate department for Robotics CIAR , there are FDP(compulsorily course) and DP (elective) courses . Even Students from Germany , France come to IIT mandi each every around 30-40 for this course ,its market standard.
Dislikes
- Connectivity- there is connectivity problem between north and south campus , although a shorter path has been made but its not completed
- Branch change- from 2024 onwards there will be no branch change . I think its bad decision as it was giving opportunities to the students to change their branches if they dont like the course structure .
- College life- its in the mountain and it takes 1 hour Bus ride to reach to the main market , which sometimes time consuming for buying something.
