I have not yet been eligible for getting an internship through the career development centre in my college but my seniors are and their stipend sums up almost to a lakh rupees per month. There are huge companies ehich cone for internship and some students also get a semster abroad type of internship to foreign countries.

Placement of the college is decent. Students usually get placed by the 7th semester and they can also opt for internship after the 5th semester that is in the third year. The placement statistics are department dependent but allover placement is decent.

For general categories, the tuition fee is 1 lakh rupee per semester which gives the total to be 8 lakh for one B.Tech degree comprosing of four years and 8 semesters. For hostel and mess, 37000 per semester is the fees which gives the total cost for studying at 12 lakh.

There are many clubs and social groups all of which are run by the student and the student body and the clubs may also get financial support from the institute if they require then. There are chess clubs, finance clubs, tech clubs, debate clubs, drama clubs, etc.

Hostel facilities are decent, you get your own chair, table, bed, not mattress, fan, light and balcony too, Hall rooms can vary frkm single sharing to double or triple sharing. Each hall has its own mess and several playgrounds for different sports.

I chose this college because of its name and worth in the world, being the oldest IIT, it is also the biggest one, which includes almost all the engineering fields, resulting into a better and much wider exposure.

There are 8 semesters, each semester is of around 4 working months with 1-1.5 month of vacation at the end. A semester comprises of two exams, one at the mid and one at the end. There are various class tests, the amount of which is decided by the prof.
