IUST is not as bad as it seems.

I think the syllabus and curriculum is considerably thought about. It has all the courses which prepare a student for the industry, so we can say it has an industry standard. I think the number of courses per semister could be decreased for the sake of lower stress and better learning for students. The frequency of exams and difficulty is alright.

They dont provide a lot of internships, but they do sometimes and it's basically a startup that has approached the university. One, I remember was Eonify. It was a web development company. They did not provide stipened for the students.

The students become eligible from 7th semister for the university placements. There are various companies that visit the university like TCS, Airtel, Jio, Infosys, etc. Some students do get placed at packages of around 5 LPA. My plans are to develop skills and apply for jobs outside university placements.

The yearwise course fee is approximately 35000. And the bus fee is 29000. It has been like this for a few years and i dont think its gonna change. The university offers PMSSS scholarship for BPL students.

There are a lot of fests and events organized by the university such as food fest, cultural fest, tech fest, book fest, annual day, foundation day, etc. The library is huge and has all kinds of books to offer. The classrooms are simple, but some of them have projectors. The sports tournaments are also rganized once in a while, and there are various clubs where students can join to be social.

I did not apply for any other colleges because I wanted to opt of a degree in Computer Science and IUST is basically the only university in Kashmir that offers the said course with quality. I had scored 72 %ile in JEE but that did not bag me a seat in CSE OM, so, I decided to apply for Self Finiance seat. That cost me additional 200000 INR but I did get a seat in CSE.

The factulty of all the departments is highly qualified. They are graduates of IITs, NITs, AMU, JNU, and other prestegious universities. I specially like Prof.Sajad sir, dept. of CSE. He has a very unique way of teaching. There are basically 2 exams conducted for each semister. Mid sems, the question paper is objective type, of 30 marks, and the assignment is 20 marks. Fairly easy to pass. And the end semister, completely theoretical, of 50 marks, and its as well easy to pass.

No there was no such procedure for the admission. It was completely based on the score in JEE score. I prepared for the JEE examination alongside 12th boards and was able to score 72 percentile and got the admission in IUST.

The university is located in a villege, so there is not much of a nightlife. Although, the library is 24x7 open, the university has a gym for students that closes at 9pm. The campus opens at 8am and closes at 6pm. The hostel also closes entries at 6pm. The most famous place to hangout is purple cafe.
