IIT ROORKEE (one of the best colleges of India )

So based on my stay in IIT ROORKEE I can say that it is one of the best colleges in India. Except for some of the hostel facilities, all the facilities are really good. The most liked facility among students is lan system which provides unlimited and very high-speed internet connection to students.

The course curriculum is very good. All the courses are designed and taught by experienced faculties so it . Here all the topics of the taken branch are completed and vast knowledge is given of every topic. Here one semester is of six 4-5 months. Exams are held twice in each semester. One time is called mid term which mostly contains 25% weightage and the other at the end which contains 75% weightage and other 25% comes from classwork which includes quizzes, practical and assignments. On the basis of total marks obtained in each subject relative grading is done.

Here placements and job opportunities are much more than other colleges of India except very few colleges. Here all tech giants like Google, Microsoft, uber, amazon, etc visit for internships and jobs. So computer science students have not much trouble in getting jobs. Some non-tech branches may face some difficulties but still, they have much more chances than other colleges because their respective field companies also come here in large numbers.

Here fee structure is feasible. For SC/ST category students tution fees are zero. For other students fees depends on the annual income of their family. For families who earn less than 1 lakh, tution fees are zero. For students whose families earn in between 1-5 lakh, 2/3 tution fee waiver is provided. If income is more than 5 lakh then the student has to pay a full fee which 2 lakh per year. Hostel and mess fee is approx. 55000 Rs. per year which is the same for all students.

Here students under AIR 300 are provided JJ Thomson scholarship in which student is given a stipend of Rs. 25000 per month. Here loan facility is excellent. Any student can get a loan for a full tution fee without giving any interest.

Here extracurricular activities are very good. IIT ROORKEE contains ground for almost every game like football, hockey, cricket, Table tennis, lawn tennis, etc. So sports facilities are excellent. Here cultural and sports meets are organized from time to time according to hostels and colleges. IIT ROORKEE has labs for almost everything required in engineering which is in very good condition.

As this college is very old so the infrastructure of old hostels is not very good but the infrastructure of new hostels is really good. Hostel facilities are also not very good because hostels don't have cooler or AC in rooms so in summer students have to face hot conditions with a just fan in the room which is also not in good condition but there are AC's in classrooms and all the labs in the institute. Most of the hostels don't have RO's in good condition so drinking water can be a problem. Here messes are quite good and food is satisfactory. Each hostel has its laundry man's so washing clothes is not a problem. Here each hostel has its own canteens which remain open for almost 24 hours. Internet connection in hostels is excellent. Students are provided lan system which gives unlimited and very high-speed internet to students all the time.

Here seniors are very friendly. they are almost like our big brothers. Ragging is banned in the college. Junior senior interaction is very good. Juniors can visit their seniors anytime and may seek help in any topic and seniors also help where they can. Here alumni network is also very good. Students who were unable to get internships and jobs can contact the alumni association where they are provided necessary opportunities. Alumni also donates funds to college for different activities. Alumni meets are also organized each and every year so that alumni can meet their old friends. So alumni network and senior-junior interaction is also good.

I have given JEE Mains and JEE Advanced examination to get admission in this college. To get admission in any IIT one must satisfy the criteria for 12th marks which varies according to the category of the candidate. For general candidates, it is 75 percent. To give Jee advance the aspirant must clear jee mains and after jee ranks are announced, counseling is done by josaa where aspirant has to fill choices which are given according to marks obtained in jee advanced.

Here the faculty is quite good. They are experts in their field but mostly they are focused on research work so they are not much focused on teaching. So teaching is just satisfactory and some lectures may be boring but you can talk to them personally on any topic according to their field. Most of the faculty members are helpful but exceptions are always there.
