Course Curriculum Overview
The course which I have opted for currently is ELECTRICAL engineering and IIT Delhi is best ranked in the electrical department by the QS world rankings. As of know, the courses that are being taught to me seem to be highly relevant. It gives us insights of the real world and how the industry works. The exams are very difficult and you have to give in a lot of thought to solve a particular problem. The frequency of exams is also very high. 2 semesters in a year and 1 major and minor in each semester along with several quizzes.
Internships Opportunities
Various companies visit the campus for internships. Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs , Davinci to name a few offering job opportunities in various fields like coding, app development, web development, finance , consulting etc.
Placement Experience
After the 4th semester, a student starts applying for internships (summer and winter) After the 6th semester, a student can sit for placements. In electrical engineering, about 50-100 companies visit the campus (some core and some non-core) offering jobs in various fields like core, finance and consulting. Highest package-1cr Average package-20LPA Almost every students who sits in the placements gets placed. I haven't yet decided what I'll do after a degree but I am looking forward to explore different career options.

Campus Life
Annual fest - Rendezvous (November) Tech fest -TRYST(March) The central library of IITD is well-equipped with books of all aspects from course related to philosophy to humanities to mythological lores to novels , everything. The classroom are technically advanced with staffs managing them. Attendance is taken biometrically. Classes are carried on digitally. The sports are organised at multi levels(intra-hostel,inter hostel, Institute level, inter IIT ). One can opt for a sport for recreation as well as for excellence. Several clubs are present like art, photography, videography, dance, robotics, F1 prototype.
Hostel Facilities
The hostel facilities are in general poor. With tiny rooms for 2 people. Lack of hygiene in washrooms and common rooms. Meals are served of various types in the mess and the quality is also pretty decent. Registration process for hostel is carried out along with the admission. The hostel are very cheap compared to the accommodation facilities outside the campus.
Admission
I had to give JEE Advanced to qualify for this course. The JEE advanced team does a press release for the dates and application form of the examination. I have not availed any reservation benefits. If you have a category certificate then it's comparatively easy to get into this course . The admission process requires a lot of document verification. You have to go through a lot of form fillings and affidavits to get through the process. Personally, I think that the admission process specially for IITs should be more digitalised where they can just access our data through government portals.
Faculty
The academic professors are highly qualified and have a great knowledge in their respective working areas. They all share a great bond with the students and many of them are candid with the students as their own kids and assist them in any way possible. Most of the professors have done PhD in their fields from prestigious institutions.
