What Students Say
Likes
- The campus is situated in the Himalayas which has its own merits. Natural Beauty with unpolluted air.
- The weather here is quite nice, you will find yourself in state of aw after seeing through window after rain, clouds stuck amidst the big mountains.
- If you are from circuital branch then you have better chances of getting good placement as mostly all companies allow all the circuital branches.
Dislikes
- The academic section is slow and work like normal government office. Most rules for academics are not in favor of students. They require amendments especially in cases of approval after getting internship.
- Hostel facilities are worst where the college don't have enough of infrastructure and admitting large no. of students as herds. In a room where only 1 people can fit have been provided to 2 students. Similarly 4 students are forced in room of 3.
- Transport facilities are worse where if you have to attend class in north campus and you have to go from south then there are 80 % chances that bus will fill and you will miss the class. On special permission few busses have been added.
Course Curriculum Overview
Course curriculum is good where you do all computaional biology courses (major selcted by most under bioengineering). IN computationl biology you will be doing coding courses like - Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biostatistics and some lab based courses like Biomaterial, Nanobiotechnology, Biomanufacturing, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Bioprocessing, etc. Apart from this you have to do basic data science courses as compulsory subjects and you can take deep learning and other courses as electives. In first year everyone has smae curriculum. So it includes electronics, graphic designing, maths, data science, and humanity courses. Curriculum is lab focussed so you will be trained for working in labs once you are out of college. Only problem happens if you are more inclined towards IT sector where you will be totally ignored based on the branch. Cirruculum imoprovement can be done by allowing more of CSE courses atleast through free elective. Exams are only mid sem and end sem.
Internships Opportunities
Career and placement cell provides ample opprtunities for the internship. Lots of companies visit for internship just like placement. Big tech giants like google, sprinklr, microsoft, atlassian, trilogy, schrodinger, flipkart, amazon, walmart, texas instruments, etc visit for taking students for internships. SIH also provides fellowship opportunities and there are research opportunities with faculty members too.
Placement Experience
Students are eligible for placement from 7th semester. Some of the big tech giants visit us like google , Microsoft, Oracle, Samsung, Texas Instruments, Uber, Paytm, walmart, Flipkart, amazon, etc. Offers made in 2022-23 are more than 150 where company count was more than 70. Highest package is around 63 LPA (INDIA) whereas more than 1 CR (Out of India). Average package is around 33 LPA in 2022-23. Almost 80%+ students sitting in placement gets placed (according to 2022-23 data). My plan is to join tech firm either as SDE or Data Scientist.
Fees and Financial Aid
Tution fee per year - 198000 One Time Fees-10000 Other Charges- 6100 If the student is from financial category (1 Lakh- 5 Lakh) then he has to pay only 1/3rd of Tution Fee i.e. 66000 per year. If the student's family income is above 5 Lakh then he has to pay full fees as above. If the student's family income is below 1 Lakh, then he doesn't have to pay tution fees at all. Hostel+ Mess Fees- 50000/yr
Campus Life
The annual tech festivals are Ruvaan, Xpecto and Exodia. There are more than 20 clubs under SNTC ( The technical society of IIT Mandi). Annual tech and cultural fests are normally held in months of february, march and april. There are more than 42000+ books in central library with 21000+ prints and 21000+ ebooks. If you want some book, you can request library section to provide it. They will order on the basis of request and availability. The classrooms have nice seating arrangement with projectors, speakers, mic and the centralised air conditioning. Sport facilities are good with facilities for cricket, badminton, football, hockey, table tennis, squash, swimming, gym, etc. Student run social groups provide the exposure to students taking part in events.
Hostel Facilities
hostel facility is worse and moderate at same time. Currently 4 people of first year are staying in room having space for 3 people with bunker bads. It requires lot of time for the repairment of hostles, where you can just wait for the slow system to function. Toilets are regularly cleaned but students are so illiterate and unhyegenic that they make the washroom a place where you dont want to go. Mess food is between bad to neutral where special dinners are being organised at the end of each month. Mess fees is paid seperately while fillling the course fees.
Admission
Honestly I initially thought of branch change and college in some what cold place which led me to this college. Our college is moderate in comparison to other iits, obviously you cant compare it with old iits , but yeah its decent enough, having good students and friends. Placement of four college is better than other iits. Some years result in placement ogf good no. of students whereas some leads to okish. The sport facilities are ok. Swimming pool is not of olympic size and it requires lot of time for repair of the sport equipments. Admission process is through Jossa counselling after JEE Advanced. I applied for VIT, NIT BHOPAL, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Jammu, IIT BHU, IIT Ropar, NIT Durgapur, and many of the IITS and NITS. I choose only this so, didn't fill for confirmation for others. No I hadn't got rejection. Eligibility of my college is JEE Advanced cutoff abnd min 75 % in 12th.
Faculty
Total faculties =around 132. Total students = around 2500. Faculty to Students ratio =132/2500=0.0528. Since the Bioengineering faculty members are lot good and given the less batch strength they know names of all your batch. Personally I like Tulika Srivastava (My FA), Shyam Masakpalli and Baskar Bakhtavachalu. Their teaching skills are good and doing labs with them provide you in depth knowledge. Bioengineering exams are moderate to difficult level.
