Thriving at IIIT Kalyani: An insider's perspective

They subjects which are taught in first and second year, are a bit of old but necessary for third and fourth year. In third and fourth year , we get modern subjects which are needed for real world applications. So, according to me, the curriculum is fair enough. Specifically saying, lab instruments should be improved as many of them do not work and no body cares about it. In every semester, we have two exams - mid-semester and end-semester. Some professor may take class test as well, it varies from faculty to faculty. Difficulty also varies from faculty to faculty but most of the papers are of medium level.

Placements are good .From 7th semester ,students are eligible for campus placements. companies like JIO ,Samsung , Adobe ,Microsoft ,TCS have visited our college . Highest package of 22 lpa and average of 12lpa is currently the statistics of our placement. Around 89 percent of students get placed. I am also planning to get a placement from the college.

Tuition fee generally don't get a hike, you have to pay it within given time limit or fine of rs-1000/- will be imposed. For my education, total cost is around 12 lakhs rupees including hostel fees. scholarships like SVMCM,PM yasasvi scholarships are available for students and students do avail these.

We generally get a freshers party in our college. Though the library is small, but books related to course is available there. Facilities and technology provisions within the classrooms are just average, most of the instruments don't function properly till now. The college is running on temporary campus, but we have contract with Kalyani stadium for sports like cricket, football, swimming. We have clubs for song, dance, drama ,sports ,tech related stuff within our college and they are pretty much active.

The rooms are not that big and it is generally shared by 3 people. We currently live in a hostel which is temporary, so it is a bit of old building, sometimes water outbreak happens in the hostel . Hostel registration can be done during application submission time. It is a bit costly I would say. In locality you will get rooms for affordable price.

I gave JEE-MAINS and got into the college. You have to clear the exam in order to get into the college. After results, JOSAA and CSAB counselling is there, one has to be through these process which is very authentic and conducted by central bodies. Then after getting admission letter, go to the college website and get the broucher, there everything will be given like all the documents you need to upload to the institute.

Faculty to student ratio is around 10:1 which is pretty good. They will help you if you approach them in any field or topic. Faculties are well qualified, students don't like teaching of few teachers. But to be honest, at the end of the day, you will be dependent upon you tube only. One can interact or approach a faculty during working hours and they will give you genuine time for one to one guidance.
