Course Curriculum Overview
i chose my course because chemical is the core branch which will always be in use also it has very good research oppurtunities and the biggest factor that i chose this course was my rank in jee advanced. The curriculum has 4-5 labs to provide experience with real world problems also for more exposure students can even ask for projects from the professors.Talking about exams after every one or two weeks we have a quiz.Then we have one mid sem exams and end sem exams in a semester.

Hostel Facilities
there are 1,2 and 3 seater rooms in iit delhi. Every room has a bed, a cupboard, a table and a chair for each student along with a ceiling fan. For summers students can even keep a cooler in their room. Every wing has a common washroom for around12-15 people. The mess menue is repeated in one week and revised after every one month. The food is not as good as home cooked food and many students mostly eat out not in mess. We have to register for hostel just once while taking admission then after every semester we have to pay hostel fees (seat rent and mess fees).
Admission
i did not apply any other college except for top 7 iits and in that too i kept iit delhi at top because it is top college and has some of the best faculty especially in chemical engineering. Also iit delhi has a very good network with alumni and entrepreneurs for startup.For admission in B.tech courses one must clear JEE Advance exam to get into iits and delhi has the highest cut offs after bombay.The admission process was quite convenient as most of the processes are done online for offline work as well there were many volunteers for helping students and parents with the procedure.
Faculty
faculty to student ratio is around 1: 10. Some faculties are very friendly and approachable some are bit less approachable.I won't name any faculties here but yes some faculties are really hardworking and put a lot of effort in teaching while some faculties just show the powerpoint ppt in the class.Exams ar tough because they demand thorough understanding of the concepts which can only be done by the students who study properly.It depend on the courses not all courses are tough to pass and some are scoring courses where every student pass.Talking about my department the curriculum is relevant enough and well planned.
Night Life
Every hostel in the college has its gym (free) along with the gym at sports complex and student activity centre (paid). There are multiple food outlets at the college like canteen, Naivedyam, CCD,< Bikanerwala,etc and they have subsidized prices for students.Every hostel has its own night mess.The campus has a central library along with a capacity of 200 also the campus have department libraries and hostel libraries as well. There is no restriction in entry timings of hostel and and campus.The college and its locality is very safe to roam around because at every 200-300 there is a guard in the campus and full caampus is under cctv survillence. Famous hangout places in campus are mech lawn, biotech lawn, canteen, ccd, etc.
