What do IIT Delhi hostels look like?

Praver Katyal
Rishabh SinghLives in banglore

My sister was allotted 3rd floor as a fresher at Kailash hostel, at IIT Delhi. She was a bit disappointed at the time that there was no lift facility, and she had to carry her entire luggage all by herself. 

She shared a two-seater room with two other girls because of lack of accommodation facilities. She and her roommates somehow made space for three beds and three table-chairs in that small room. The room was barely left with any space to move around. Thankfully, they got a balcony in which my sister managed to keep her cupboard. The room did not have any space for a cooler, and the hostel had a common washroom. A lack of cooler was very upsetting for her because of the harsh Delhi summers. 

During her final year, got a single occupancy room on the ground floor, in the same hostel. But the room was still quite small, and she could barely fit in her clothes and shoes in the given space. The washrooms were still common.

Even though she fondly remembers her days at IIT Delhi, she is always vocal about her disappointment with the accommodation facilities of one of the premiere institutions of our country.

Who are the best professors at IIT Delhi, and why?

Sabeer Chalana
Pawan SinhaB.Tech Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (2020)

The answer to these types of questions is prone to subjectivity. All the professors in IIT Delhi are highly qualified and well-experienced in their respective fields. Which makes it difficult to mansion the best professor at IIT Delhi. Mentioned below are a few professors who are popular among the students.

Prof. Ambuj Sagar- He never imposes his own view on the students and lets you think for yourself and make your own conclusions so that you are not left with any doubts.

Professor Vijayraghavan M. Chariar- He teaches Technological Alternatives for Rural Development. His unique way of teaching makes you grow as a person and widen your perspective. He believes in immersive experimental learning and organizes day trips during class timings so that his students can learn from real-life experiences. He is also an entrepreneur, having managed to bring about his own start-up Ekam Eco Solutions, where he promotes sustainable solutions to many different environmental problems.

Professor Paresh Choksi- He is among one of the brilliant minds in the Chemical Engineering department. Students thoroughly enjoy his course on Fluid Mechanics for his methodical and organized way of teaching.

Professor Anupam Sukla- He has a unique approach towards teaching which is focused in maximizing the learning experience of the students.

How is the mess food at IIT Delhi?

Ashmita SinhaMasters from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

IIT Delhi has a total of 18 hostels for men, and 2 hostels for women. Each hostel has its mess hall that serves decent quality food. The general trend in most hostels is Breakfast>>Lunch>=Dinner. The mess menu is decided in winter/summer semester-wise separately and generally doesn't change throughout the semester.

A variety of dishes are served and the taste is also very good. Additionally, there are night messes till 4 am where you can munch on paranthe, momos, and Chinese. Some eateries that serve excellent snacks are Hollistic for juices and shakes, Rajdhani, Chaayos, CCD, Staff Canteen, and many more. Some combinations of meals served in the mess are

  • Chowmein, Manchurian, dal, roti
  • Macroni, Omelette chana and banana
  • Chole Bhature, Rice

A schedule is followed for mess food in every hostel. In which, sometimes the items served may differ. But the variety and quality of the food are excellent making it one of the motivating factors for students.

What is the average Package in IIT delhi in BTECH?

Neerendra Singh
Sushmita Guptastudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

During the 2022 placement season at IIT Delhi, B.Tech graduates received an average package of around 16-17 LPA. However, the actual package offered can vary greatly depending on several factors such as the student's branch, academic performance, skills, and the hiring company. Students from popular branches such as computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering have been known to receive much higher packages in the range of 30-40 lakhs per annum or even more. 

On the other hand, some students from less popular branches may receive lower packages in the range of 8-10 lakhs per annum. While the package offered is a significant factor, students must also consider other aspects such as the job role, work culture, and growth opportunities while selecting a company.

How are the hostel rooms in IIT Delhi?

Kunal SharmaB.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

IIT Delhi has a total of 18 hostels for men, and 2 hostels for women. Each hostel is equipped with basic amenities such as a common room, a reading room, and mess hall. The hostels also have 24-hour security and medical facilities. Additionally, the hostels have a common room, an indoor games room, and a gym.

The buildings are old given the time they were built, yet the facilities are decent. First-year students are allotted triple occupancy rooms while some are allotted double. This depends on the hostel you are assigned as each hostel has different maps and infrastructure. A typical room in an IIT Delhi has:

  • 3 beds occupied by many 
  • Three tables, mostly used for keeping bottles and random stuff 
  • Three chairs, hardly used for sitting but keeping additional stuff
  • 2 almirahs with four slots each. 
  • 3 wooden showcases for keeping books and stuff like toothbrushes , toothpaste, comb, empty perfume sprays,earphones etc.
  • 2 LAN ports for 3 people with additional Wi-Fi facilities.
  • Electronic appliances include 2 fans, 2 tube lights, and 4 electricity boards.

All these basic amenities make students stay comfortable. After all, hostel life is all about making memories and new friends.

Should I join IIT Delhi chemical or top NIT CSE?

Kabya Kalbalia
Sushmita Guptastudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Yes, irrespective of the branch, choosing IIT Delhi will always prove to be beneficial for you. IIT Delhi has ties with many big firms that visit the campus for placements and offer great packages irrespective of your branch. One needs to be proficient in DSA and other computer science core subjects such as OOPS, OS, DBMS, and Computer Networks. A good grasp of these will fetch you a high-paying job no matter which branch you belong to in IIT Delhi.

Although most companies that visit IIT Delhi also visit NIT, your IIT tag will always fetch you extra benefits and no one can deny that. For instance, the same role offered to an IITiand will have more salary than that offered to a non-IITian.You can easily switch roles and fields given the brand name of the institute you are associated with. IITians even have more opportunities for higher studies in Foreign countries than non-IITians.

IITians especially from Mumbai or Delhi are always given preference over non-IITians hence it is advisable to go for IIT Delhi in any branch.

Is the scope of IIT Delhi textile engineering good?

Rohini Mishra
Dipti SinhaB.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (2022)

My sister was a student at IIT Delhi in Textile Engineering and shared the disappointing experience that made her regret her decision a lot. The department is in its infancy and is the least demanded branch. Likewise, it offers the least average package at around INR 13 LPA and the lowest at INR 6 LPA.

  • Opportunities for a good job and package are scarce and the highest pay offered is even less than the pay of your friends with the lowest marks in schools
  • You will have to work hard and grasp a lot of concepts to maintain a good CPI only then you can target an MBA
  • The curriculum is rigid and does not challenge your learning and problem-solving capabilities.
  • The worth of the branch is so less that even your IIT tag does not come to your rescue during placements.
  • Most students go for non-core jobs roles like consultancy, data analysis or coding.
  • Few or no core job offers are made to the students of this branch

The branch does not do justice to the institute's brand name and thus I strongly recommend you against joining Textile Engineering at IIT Delhi.

Have I done a mistake in choosing IIT Delhi mechanical over DTU CS? I preferred to do CS, but due to ego, I chose IIT Delhi.

Sushmita Guptastudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

I don’t think anyone choosing IIT Delhi over any other engineering college has made a wrong decision given the opportunities and life experiences that come with it. While both are crucial, your choice of Institute is more important than your branch. 

Here is a friend's journey for your reference l was a BTech student (Civil) at IIT BHU with a rank of 3600. 

  • First, he completed a Nanodegree program from Udacity in Self Driving Cars and Machine learning
  • Next, he worked as a Derivative Trader in Future First where he performed Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms.
  • After gaining great experience and exposure he joined Quantela Inc for 2 Years where he worked as a Data Scientist.
  • Today, after a lot of job switches and immense experience he is working at Derq in Dubai as a Machine Learning Scientist and doing Online MS from Georgia Tech University in Computer Science.

This journey of a 7-pointer Civil Branch student to a high-tech CS company proves that branch does not matter in the end. He made the most of his campus life and kept struggling to switch his branch and eventually succeeded. That being said, you have made the right decision as only IIT Delhi can give you the right set of opportunities and exposure and not DTU.

Why should someone choose IIT Delhi over IIT Mumbai for CSE? Except his/her AIR.?

Riya RadheraWorks at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

There are two sides to every coin. Similarly, there are many reasons why one must choose IIT Delhi over IIT Mumbai and vice versa. To make it further understandable, I have listed some common pros and cons of IIT Delhi

Pros

  • You are in proximity to the capital city 
  • It’s easy to prepare for some other exams also apart from Engineering like IAS
  • Hauz Khas village in itself is an absolute treat to the eyes
  • Being in Delhi makes it possible to go for road trips to Jaipur, Chandigarh, Lansdown, Rishikesh, Dehradun, Agra, etc.
  • The Delhi Metro makes commuting quiet easy
  • There are many places to explore and hang out with your friends in the vicinity of the campus.

Cons

  • CS department of IIT Bombay is way better than IIT Delhi offering a plethora of diverse courses.
  • The campus of IIT Bombay has more natural landscape and greenery in comparison to IIT Delhi. This enhances the climate and overall ambiance inside the campus 
  • Unlike IIT Delhi, the hostel facilities are much better at IIT Bombay while Delhi hostels are overly crowded.
  • Delhi faces extreme climatic conditions whereas the weather of IIT Bombay somehow remains the same throughout the year.

I leave it to you to weigh the pros and cons accordingly and make an informed decision.
