The reviewer, a diploma graduate in metallurgy, chose to pursue a B.Tech in metallurgy at Indus University, Ahmedabad, after completing their 12th grade in Surat. Indus University is recognized for its strong metallurgy program and highly qualified faculty, with department heads holding PhDs and teachers known for their supportive nature. The annual fee for engineering students at the university is 1 lakh INR, comprising 90,000 INR for tuition and 4,000 INR for exam or cultural fees.
State students can benefit from scholarships, reducing the financial burden, while out-of-state students pay the full fee. The Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavalamban Yojna (MYSY) scholarship provides a 50% tuition fee waiver, up to Rs. 50,000, for eligible students with a CGPA above 6 and no ATKT in the next semester. Despite its academic strengths, Indus University faces challenges in placement opportunities, especially for metallurgy students, with limited or no placements or internships offered.
Some reputed companies like Samsung, Siemens, Audi, Kia, and Byju's are associated with the institution for interviews and placements, but the college mainly focuses on smaller companies. The university offers additional scholarships from other countries and state-level scholarships, along with loan facilities for economically disadvantaged students, but does not provide specific scholarships or rewards for top academic performers. Overall, the university is seen as prioritizing financial gains, with a lack of substantial support in facilitating placements for students.
