IIT Indore, Indore Comparison

You become eligible to sit for placements in 7th semester , that is , in your 4th year. There are companies like Google, Amazon, Deloitte, Accenture, Axxela, American Express, BNY Melon, Adobe , Goldman Sachs, Samsung, Optum, Oracle, etc. But in other IITs which are also 2nd generation, more companies (around 50) comes for on campus placements . The highest pay is mostly for Software development and Quant roles. Last year it was around 1 Cr per annum of a Computer Science student which is really great. And the average package was around 25-26 Lakhs per annum. Last year , around 88% of all students including B.tech and M.tech got placed with decent salary.

The faculty-to-student ratio is 13:20 which is pretty good for a new branch. The faculty to student relationship is really good with some of the faculties. Most of them are easily approachable and interactive. One of the faculty who is liked by almost all students including me is "Dr. Bhargav Vaidya" who is also my faculty advisor. He is not much strict, understands student's issues , teaches really well , has good amount of knowledge and is friendly with students. He is the type of professor we all need (students). The other faculties are Dr. Prakash Gaikwad, Dr. Suman Majumdar, Dr. Priyanka Singh and Dr. Abhirup Dutta , they are also one of the best faculties. The most disliked faculty according to me and my whole class is Dr. Soumavo Ghosh as he is kind of strict, gives assignments every week, takes surprise quizzes, does not interact properly with students and is very short tempered. His teaching skills are also not good. Rest of the faculties are okay. Now talking about the exams, there are mainly 2 exams, mid semester and end semester. Between them there are quizzes, assignments and practical exams. The difficulty of exam depends on the professor.

The campus life here is a mix of fun and academics. There is one cultural and technical festival which is called "Fluxus" generally held in the month of March every year. This is the best part of the college life in which we dance, have fun , participate in competitions, eat, play games and all those stuff. Also , there are many other small events like E-Summit which related to entrepreneurship, Model United Nations, Inter Branch Cultural Competitions, Various Competitions in Sports, Tedx, etc. They also help in refreshing our mind by keeping us stress free. Apart from these, we have many technical and cultural clubs like Astronomy , Robotics, Electronics, Google Developer Group, Programming Clubs and many more and Art , Music, Debate, Dance, etc respectively. They all are run by students like I am too the Head of Astronomy club. They really helps us enhance our creativity and keeps us engaged throughout the semester.

I really like the hostel facility here as it is advanced and clean. In 1st and 2nd year, you have to share room which some student(double occupancy) which is sometimes tough because the room is built for one people and you have to adjust with your roommate everytime. But from the third year, you get a single room which is very convinient. There are 2 washrooms for every 6 students which is good compared to some of the other IITs. Talking about the meal quality, it depends on caterer. There are 3 caterers in total , in which K-star (in my opinion) makes really good food. But sometimes they mess up , the taste is not up to the mark somtimes. They keep desserts every night , keeps special dinner once in a month(which is really delicious).My most favourite is breakfast , which is a whole kind of meal for me and it's healthy and delicious too. They give milk, eggs, fruits, salad , corn flakes, tea, coffee in addition. We take whatever and how much ever we want. Registration for hostel and mess is not separated , you register in it when you pay the fees per semester means it is included in semester fees(for 5 months collectively). So, my overall experience is satisfactory.
