IIIT UNA

The curriculum is good. However, it can be much better. The 8th semester is completely dedicated to internship. However, CSE, starts with coding in the second semester, which is late according to most of the students. The rest of the first and second semesters have basic sciences courses. Core subject courses start from the third semester. 75% of attendance criteria are strictly followed. 2 mid-term exams are there along with 1 end sem. Weightage: 20+20+40+20.

The eighth semester is completely dedicated to the internship. However, very few companies visited the campus last year for internships. Many students were idle or did research internships at nearby IITs, like IIT Mandi or IIT Ropar. Also, till last year, this internship was in 6th semester.

Placements are not upto the mark. Official data of how many and which companies visited the campus is not available. The average package is around 10lpa, which is expected to increase in the subsequent years. Percentage placement exact data is again not available at the college website.

Tution fees are okay as the institute is self-dependent. Hostels are also good, so hostel fees are also justified. The complete cost including hostel and mess fees is around 13.5 lakhs. Central and State scholarships are there, but only for reserved categories or EWS sections.

Overall experience at campus life is okayish. 3 fests are there but they are help in combined mode. So, all fests over within 15 days only, the whole year only academics. All classrooms are fully AC, but hostels lack AC. sports and extra curricular activities are descent.

Hostels are good, but only 3 seater rooms are available as of now. Veg mess food is pathetic. No ac or coolers in hostels. Cleaning only on Saturday/Sunday. Washrooms are poor. In winters, hot water is not always available. Hostels are compulsory. You cannot rent any room/PG.

Admission is through JEE MAINS. Forms are filled out at the JOSAA portal, and students have to sit for the counseling and based on their JEE RANKS, they are given college and branch. Reservation follows central government schemes.

Faculty to student ratio is good. In every class, there are almost 70 students. So the ratio is good. Most of the current faculty members are female. So, yes better teaching ability than male teachers. But, some are for the sake of it only. Like they don't know how to teach.

No group discussion or interview was help at this college at the admission process. Admission is strictly through JOSAA. Lateral Entry is also not there. So, only preparation needed is JEE MAINS.
