Life in IITGN

The professor are good with providing good mentorship and their flexible course structure with each teacher have their own way of distributing the grades makes it easy and reduces the load to score all at one by just exam.

Student Snaps:

The faculty to student ratio is high in IITGn with 5:3. The relation is very friendly with the faculty with help to advise and all the time being approachable but except few being exception. The professor i liked the most are Prof. Rupak Banerjee, Prof Chandan K Mishra, Prof. Gopinadhan Kalon and Krista R Khiagnte for their friendly nature and understanding the concepts clear from basics root revision. The course stucture for each course is different depend on the professors , how they design dividing the grades with assignment, ppt, quizes, attendance but along with that there are two exams held per semester mid sem and end sem exam. and their weightage carrying in overall grade is also flexible on the professor.

From Campus Life to Academics: My insights into IIT Gandhinagar

IIT gandhinagar has a good number of facaulties. The faculty-to-student ration is 1:10. All the faculties are always available through email. You can also talk with them during meal time if you are lucky to find them or you can ask them for a meet over email. Personally I liked one of the english instructor, prof Desai he is very freindly and his advice has a practical effect. I also liked some of the math instuctors who are so passionate about their subject which induce the same passion inside their students. All facaulties are good as a person but some are more strict than others when academics are concerned. One of the course in the first year is Engineering Graphics which follow a strict marking policy, one of my batchmate got a negative number in one of the drawing. Another course I didn't liked is history, it was so boring and half of my class used to sleep during the class with their eye open because sleeping was prohibited in the class :).

Insight of IIT Gandhinagar

The Faculty to student ratio is also good enough comparing to other IITs. The relationship between students and professors is just friendly but respectful. They are easily approachable as each professor has a fix office and you can reach them after appointment. I liked maximum faculties who taught us in till now or with whom I've been introduced till now. There's no facility till now whom I should dislike. Some course have quizzes, mid semester and end semester exams and some courses have projects and lab exams only. The difficulty level is medium as somebody studying in classes attentively can score good marks in exams.

When you come for placement with enjoyment and memories then this is place for you.

Th faculty to student ratio is 1:30 which is good because faculty are very interactive and helps you in everything and in every possible manner. Bad thing is during lecture hours they expect that you already know everything.

IIT Gandhinagar: Is a second-gen IIT worth it

The faculty-to-student ratio is quite good, but the batch strength is low. Also, the faculty at IIT Gandhinagar is very helpful and generous. All the faculty members are very approachable and would love to help you wherever you are stuck. You can either meet a professor by booking an appointment or just barge into his office during office hours (it generally depends on the professor). There is a two-exam system in IIT Gandhinagar (sem and end sem) with some quizzes in between class times (depending on the course policy). The faculty here are very interested in working with new students and are very motivated in their domain, so don't just ask them a project only because its a compulsory course.

Awesome hostels, Supportive Faculty, Modern Infrastructure, Moderate Placements, and Quality Mess Food

Dislikes

Mathematics faculty at IITGN is truly remarkable. They are not only experts in their field but also passionate about teaching and helping students grow But No. of mathematics professor is 12 which is less.

All faculty members at IITGN are very polite, helpful, knowledgable and inspires students to learn and grow. They have office hours for students so that they can ask their doubts personally without any hesitation ,but the no. of mathematics faculty members arec lesser as compared with other IITs. That's why they offer less no. of electives subjects. the level of courses are moderate to hard And pass percentage is depend on the instructor. And in one sem we have two exams and no. of quizes and asignments depending upon instructor.

IIT Gandhinagar from the eyes of a First Year

Faculties are Expert in their Respective Fields and teach very well.

The Faculty to Student Ratio is 1:8. In some classes, the faculty to student relationship is very good but in some classes, there is no relationship. All Faculties are highly approachable for doubts, projects, advice, etc. You may meet them after a Lecture or take an appointment by Email. There are 2 Exams in one Semester: A mid-semester exam and an end-semester exam. There also may be quizzes or graded labs in a course. Very Few Students fail to clear the exams. The Course Curriculum was recently updated so it is quite relevant.

IIT Gandhinagar review

the facilities of labs and professors help they provide is also great

all the professors over here are highly educated all of them have a phd mostly from foreign and Courses are taken by professors and its purely his choice how he wants to grade students, no objection to him. Whether the grading system is relative or absolute exam copies are mostly checked by the PhD and m tech students, exams are tough and which require conceptual clarity
