Admission:

I have applied for IIIT-Hyderabad and got a confirmed seat in ECE. It has a very good placement record and last year (2023) ECE average package was Rs. 30 lakhs. But I did not opt for this because it was a private college whose fees goes to nearly Rs. 5 lakhs per semester. I was told that I can take Alumni loan in which full fees will be paid from alumni fund and I would have to repay that after I got a job. But it's fees are increasing year by year and it doesn't seem fair to me. Also I got some news about it's unhygenic mess foods, my freinds who joined there also complains the same. I have also applied in IIT kharagpur's instrumental engineering which I lost with a difference of 17 ranks. I was getting admission in NIT Rourkela CSE because it does not support reasearchs as IIT Gandhinagar do. For admission in this college you can apply through JOSSA which gives you seat on the merit of JEE Adv. examination. You can also get admissions through onlympiads exams.

The admission process is through Jossa counseling i selected this college because of the rank that I had got, our college had state-of-the-art architecture as compared to other iits, moreover due to less number of batch sizes there are a lot of responsibilities that we learn. also, they treat you as an adult means that whatever happens they will never call your home nor they involve your parents in it hence we need to make our decisions on our own. There is nothing wrong that i have not gone to other colleges its pure luck on the examination day that i had been here

IIT Gandhinagar: 1 Answered Question

How can I get admission in IIT Gandhinagar?

Aarushi Kalra
Shreya DharBTech Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (2018)

For B.Tech, you need to appear in IIT JEE and score a valid rank. If you are willing to take admission in M.Tech, a valid score in GATE is required. 

  • After the submission of the application, a list of the shortlisted candidates will be posted on the college’s website. 
  • If you are shortlisted, you will have to be present at the Campus on the date mentioned in the notice.
  • You will first have to appear for an Aptitude Test which consists of English, Maths, and Basic Core questions. The results for this test are declared in an hour or two.
  • If you are shortlisted after the Aptitude Test, you will have to attend a personal interview. This is considered the final round. 
  • If you are selected for the interview, you will be welcomed to the college’s MTech course. Sometimes questions based on Maths, Matrices, Differential Equations, etc. could be asked in the interview.

This is because the college is more into CFD and analysis of materials where one needs to have a good hold in the Finite Element Analysis.
