YOUR BOOK TO IIITD

Im from CAD branch and the sole reason of choosing the branch was that i liked designing. The college curriculum keeps you engaged with studies and extra curricular activities which help in the overall growth of students. The frequency and timings of exams is high but the difficulty level of exams is moderate.

The internships offered are good and the stipends are also good. the avg stipend offered last year was 70k. Almost 150-170 companies visit the campus which include all best companies i.e. google , apple , nvidia , adobe etc.

At IIITD students become eligible for internships after 2nd year. First sem students also get a chance to get internship from UNIQLO. The company takes some students from first sem and offer them stipends and a trip to tokyo. The percentage of placements is good at IIITD but it went down during recession. The highest package offered is 55lpa domestic and 120lpa overseas and the avg package is 20-25 lpa. Approx 70% students got placed in year 2024

The fees at IIITD is a bit high. The course fees is 4-4.5 lakhs/ year. The hostels are good and well maintained and the fees goes upto 40k per semester. IIITD also offers fee waiver programs in which students with family annual income less than 6-8 lakh get waiver/scholarship. It also offers a free laptop scheme for students. Also students with rank>=1000 in JEE Mains get 100% tuition fee waiver. You can also apply for student loans if you want.

The annual fest at IIITD is odyssey. It is a 3 day fest with concerts and many other activities. Last year Kr$na, madhavan and many more artists came and performed at IIITD. The clubs arent really active but the college really tries to keep them active. There are many clubs for example machaan, audiobytes, trivialis , owasp etc. The campus life is really amazing at IIITD because of its great infrastructure. The college also offers a variety of sports example cricket nets, tennis courts, basketball, badminton, table tennis, swimming etc.

The hostels are good at IIITD. There are mainly 3 hostels i.e. H1, H2 and old boys hostel. H1 and H2 being recently built are great in infra and facilities in comparison to old boys hostel. The room comes with double sharing option. Room has two beds, two cupboards, AC( works from 7:30pm to 7:30am). There are common washrooms for students on each floor. Hostels cost 40k per semester. The mess is included withing hostel fees and is pretty decent in comparison to pther colleges.

I applied in JAC counselling. I found IIITD better than dtu and nsut in terms of crowd and academics. But students at dtu and nsut get relatively more free time that students at IIITD. The workload and deadlines at IIITD is much greater than any other college.

The relationship between students and faculty is amazing. We get faculty's office hours every week which we can use for clearing our doubts or any other problem we're facing regarding the course. There are no specific names of professors who are best in teaching their course ( all of them teach very well). The professors keep the class engaged i.e. one of reasons students attend classes. There are primarily 5 courses in the first semester ( IP,LA,DC,COM,HCI). Although the first sem is really easy but study at IIITD is hectic as you need to give quizzes and submit assignments withing the deadline. The marks distribution consists of quizzes, assignments, projects, lab sessions, midsems and endsems.
