Is CSAM at IIIT Delhi worth it?

No, CSAM at IIIT Delhi is definitely not worth it. Here is a detailed review of the program as shared by a friend Branch Structure: In the first year, students are taught subjects the same as CSE, The course structure becomes challenging after the first year, There are 2 math courses added every semester. In the 4th semester complex subjects like Algorithm design, Abstract Algebra, Differential Equations, and an elective from Physics, Maths, Bio, etc. are included in the syllabus. No core CSE courses like DBMS, CO, or OS are even offered to CSAM students. Overall, there are 7 compulsory Math courses and 5 CS courses. So, out of 15 courses to be done in the last 2 years, 12 are compulsory. 2 are compulsory for everyone and CSAM students have only 1 slot. Professors: Most professors are highly educated, and offer extremely challenging courses. Students aren’t asked basic questions or theorems taught in class. The grading scheme is also quite tough for these courses. Placements: CSAM placements at IIIT Delhi depend more on individual profiles and skills than the college. Usually, companies dont prefer CSAM students over CSE because they are taught core courses like DBMS, OS, CO, etc. CSAM BTech placement percentage this year stood at 98.44%. All in all, the CSAM branch of IIIT Delhi isn't a good choice if you are primarily interested in placements. It is futile to study such high-level Math if only your knowledge of Data Structures, OS, DBMS, etc. will be considered during placements. CSAM should be considered only if you are interested in research in applied math.

Which should I choose, CSAM at IIIT Delhi or IT at IIIT Allahabad?

Since you know what you are looking for, it becomes quite easy to segregate categories for you to choose which place you want to go. Do all-around research and look at various categories like crowd, course curriculum as well as the faculty before making a decision. Here are some points that may help you out. Faculty: One point where IIIT A might lag is the faculty. Being a top college, you might expect it to have some of the top-notch faculty in the country. However, it is more of a mix of government college faculty with some average teachers and others that are really well-versed in their subjects. IIIT D on the other hand has better faculty who have a rational approach to the subject of computer science. IIIT D definitely tops here. Course Curriculum: You will find some of the best course curricula at IIIT A. You will be introduced to the subjects of computer science right from the very first semester. A major plus point is that there are no interdisciplinary subjects like ED that will be included. Crowd: As far as crowds are concerned, both places have the same crowd. IIIT A might be slightly better as they do not hold any state-based preferences or quotas. Coding Culture: The coding culture at IIIT A is one of the best in the country. This college is the pioneer college that represents our country in some of the most major competitive coding platforms. Just recently, 12 students were even selected for GSOC from IIIT A. IIIT D is still in its nascent days as far as coding is concerned. Infrastructure: This is one point where both colleges are at par with each other. Both are good as far as basic amenities are concerned. Lastly, you should know that IIIT A is a college with a national reputation. It will definitely give you the upper edge when you go for your masters. This is probably not the case with IIIT D. However, if you are looking for good faculty and a city atmosphere, go to IIIT D.

It provides cutting-edge technical facilities, excellent infrastructure and rigorous academics.

College fees is very high

Fees for B.Tech programs are 3.75 lakhs per annum. But for the first year, it will cost approx. 4 Lakh including all the other expenses. Some scholarship is provided by the Delhi government for financially weak students and also national scholarship is given. Many of us get a job on campus with a very good package.

IIITD CSAM Review

Fees here are quite high around 20 lakhs for 4 years without a hostel and around 24 lakhs with a hostel. There is a fee hike of around 10 percent every year. There are several scholarships but you need to be very special to get those scholarships.

Everything you need to know about IIIT Delhi

The fee here is very high compared to other Tier 1 colleges like IIT, NIT, and other IIITs. However, various scholarships are also provided by the Delhi government and the college to students from financially weaker families. The criteria are about families with income less than eight lakhs getting 25% scholarship. Many job opportunities are available in the college as many companies visit the campus for internships and full-time every year. Apart from this, there are many startups also available in college that also hire people for internships.

Accurately reviewed

The fees is very high (187500 per semester) which makes it a difficult choice for students to consider. There are some scholarship opportunities but even after that it is quite difficult for students to afford because students have to pay the fees first after which the scholarship money is distributed.

IIIT Delhi Review

As the complete course fee is around 16 lakh for the B.Tech program which is very high for many but you can avail of the scholarship from the college as the college provides scholarships on a merit basis and as well as to SC/ST category. The college average placement package is around 18 LPA and the highest placement offer is around 60 LPa which is a very good ROI.

Anisha Bansal's Review On Indraprastha Institute Of Information Technology - [IIITD], New Delhi

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course curriculum is pressurizing and work load is high but it is great. Academics is the biggest plus point. The strict plagiarism policy motivates one to do their work on their own and learn new things. Faculties are also amazing. Highly educated teachers are appointed.
