Admission
I applied to several other IITs( IIT Roorkee, IIT Delhi etc.) , NITs and other prestigious institutes.I chose IIT Mandi because of its beautiful location and focus on research. The smaller class sizes and personalized attention from faculty were also major factors. No, I did't get rejection from other colleges. Complelety process of admission is through josaa and i got IITMandi CSE at the end of counselling after considering my jee advance rank. The admission process is through the jee advanced. Student must get 75% in 12th standard if he/she belongs to gen/obc category otherwise get 65%.The overall admission experience is competitive but fair and the results are usually declared on time.
Faculty
student to faculty ratio is 12:1 in IIT Mandi. The faculty has good behaviour, they help and encourage to students for great achievements. They interact regularly, ensuring a strong connection and effective guidance to the students. Dr. Rohit Saluja,a faculty member at SCEE department is my favourite faculty. I had not participated for class participation in one couse but he gave me marks for class participation on my attendence. I don't like some other faculty of CSE department because they are not fair in giving marks to the students. Faculty conduct 2 type of exams: midsem and endsem. The level of both exam remains easy. 2 to 3 students may fail due to a lack of attendence. The course curriculum is new and related to the industry, which is practically useful in real life.
Night Life
My favourite hangout spots is fountain area and village square. late-night activities is walk with friends, play with them, sing songs or watch a movie. Students spend time with their friends after classes.These all experiences make college life stressed free. gym timing is 4am to 10am and 4pm to 10pm for opening. cafeterias closes after 1am in night. After 10 pm, we can't go outside campus without permission. Girls timing is 12am for 1st year girls and 2am for other girls. they can't go outside hostels after these timing. Famous hangout places in campus is village square, hockey ground, fountain area and outside the campus is mandi, kullu, mananli, rewarsal etc. Outside the campus at the night is not safe due to its location.
