IIT Gandhinagar - Indian Institute of Technology - [IITG], Gandhinagar

Honestly speaking, IIT Gandhinagar does not deserve to be in the IIT family nor does it deserve the IIT tag. I am not saying the education and placement opportunities here are pathetic but they are still far from actual IIT standards. or even top NITs and BITS. 

It’s due to the Marketing tactics of the director that the institute gains such high rankings by NIRF and other ranking bodies. The internships and placement scenario is pathetic owing to the deteriorating student strength and efforts on the part of the university. 

I will suggest everyone against joining this institute and ruining their career.

I completed my B.Tech ECE. Due to Covid-19, I got a direct interview call from IIT Gandhinagar for M.Tech ECE. I got interviewed on Google Meet.

Out of the four choices given to me, I opted for microelectronics and VLSI as my first preference. 20 minutes prior to the interview, I received a call from the technical supervisor asking me to be prepared. There were 3 panelists for my interview and all of them belonged to the Electrical Engineering Department of IIT Gandhinagar.

The interview started with a basic introduction and I was asked for my favorite subjects. After this, I was asked questions to assess my knowledge of the field. I am listing down the questions which the panel asked me-

• What is the propagation delay in logic ckt, why does delay occur?
• Explain NOR and NAND gate.
• Explain BW of an amplifier.
• Explain BW of the single pole system.
• What are the conditions for which the gain BW product is constant?
• Differentiate ideal and real op amp.
• Draw a T C curve of both.
• O/p for open loop op amp.
• What is CMRR, and what is common mode gain?
• What is the BW of (real) op amps?
• Does Amplification violate energy conservation law?

The IIT Gandhinagar staff is quite helpful and supportive. I received 3 calls every 15 minutes to alert me before the interview. My interview went well and I got selected for the M.Tech program.

There are two aspects of a hostel. The first one is the physical building and the rooms, the other being the people and the culture of that place.

The rooms at IIT Gandhinagar hostels are well-ventilated and all the basic amenities like bed, almirah, table, chair and fan are provided. The washrooms are clean and washing machines are available for students’ use. There is a paid laundry service available as well and a canteen facility is provided inside the hostels.

Apart from the infrastructure, the more important part is the amazing people that you will get to meet at IIT Gandhinagar hostels. There will be discussions, birthdays, gaming nights, mafia nights, jamming in the music room and all sorts of fun during your stay over there.

You will have good interaction with your seniors and juniors and create endless memories with your friends. You will live as a part of a community, celebrate festivals with your friends and support each other in tough times.

You will have a great time at IIT Gandhinagar hostels and you will be provided with all the facilities over there.
