IIT Mandi Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

I am interested in Mechanical engineering and I love hills, so I get admission in IIT MANDI HIMACHAL PRADESH. There are some core course, IC courses, HSS and free electives type courses . We must have to do at least 160 credit during 4year b.tech program

The course curriculum in the mechanical branch is very practical and real-life based. for the real-world application, we have to learn LAB courses and research under the Professor in the Technical Field. In some courses, we learn a lot of real-life applications like AFM, CFD, Theory of machines, and Design of machine elements. and also from the Mechanical workshop, we have experienced lots of things which is related to real-life problems. We should focus on those courses, in that you are more interested in those courses. and also college teaches us some HSS courses which are not related to the mechanical field. For improved teaching methods, colleges should teach with more practice in the lab and also numerical with offline mode. There are two major exams in our college Midsem and endsem.in some courses, the teacher also takes some quizzes on the weekend. In the Midsem, Questions come which is not tough because syllabus is not more compared to Endsem because whole syllabus is coming.

I was highly interested in civil engineering and government job in Indian engineering services. So, I have taken admission in this branch. Iitmandi makes us learn all real life application of civil engineering and learned all softwares and practicals in real field. Areas of improvement includes college should not do compulsory HSS courses which are irrelevant to engineering. IIT Mandi takes two exams in a semester one is midsem and another is end semester exam. The difficulty level of endsem exam is very good and challenging.

The curriculum of this college is too good in all branches. Areas of improvement includes real life practices of concepts. A person can give jee advanced exam two times in 12th and after only one drop year.

Here in IIT Mandi courses are divided into credits and for 1 credit we have to take 14 hrs of classes. we are generally alloted minimum 12 credits and maximum 23 credits each semester. We are also given labs which are of 1 or 2 credits generally which consists of once a week lab.

After 6th semester student can get eligible for campus placements. 150 companies used to visit per year in campus. Highest package - 80lpa(cse) Average package - 15lpa (all branches) 90% gets placement including eligibility criteria. My plans after getting degree - will go for higher studies or go for good placement.

All Courses are good but might me tough. Here you will get lots of exposure to different aspects of engineering not only your speific branch. Option for branch change is also too easier comparitive to other colleges. We have to complete 160 credits with some terms and credits to get the Btech degree in 4 years.

For placement, companies usually come in the starting of 7th semester. Some companies that visit our college are Accenture, HDFC Bank, Zomato, Flipkart, HCL, etc. Highest package around 60lpa Average varies from year to year but generally around 20 lpa. Around 70-80 percent get placed with decent package.

Students can sit for placements at the start of the fourth year or the seventh semester. Zomato, Walmart, Honeywell and BNY are few co.panies that have maded offers in the past. Highest packages have been 60 LPA and average is 21. I am hoping to take up a job for few years and then pursue higher studies.

The placements are provided by college on campus, students in btech 4th year and mtech 2nd year are eligible for campus placements. In the current year placements are not so good due to recession Some of the top MNCs like google, amazon, microsoft, adobe and many more visit the campus for placements every year, I dont have access to exact placement records, but the placement percentage last year was around 95-100%, but this year its very less around 50-60% currently. This years highest package is 1.25 crore this year and the average is yet to be disclosed, last year the average was around 25 LPA and almost all of the students got placed. If I get a good offer for placements then I will go for it, if not then I will pursue further studies in masters.
