Which is better for civil, IIT Mandi or IIT Ropar?

Both IIT Mandi and IIT Ropar are well-respected engineering institutions. The institute which is most suitable for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. Some parameters you would like to consider are location, campus culture, research opportunities, and faculty expertise. In my opinion, IIT Ropar fares better in terms of infrastructure, college life, labs, and resources. IIT Mandi on the other hand is lacking in terms of infrastructure and its campus is still in the development phase. The facilities and infrastructure are crucial to a conducive learning environment and IIT Mandi has failed to do so. IIT Mandi is also located remotely and thus students cannot avail of facilities easily and the exposure offered is also limited. IIT Mandi labs have failed to meet IIT standards and are decked with outdated equipment. The labs of the School of Engineering and the School of Computing and Electrical Engineering are not at all good and have very limited operational capacities. Keeping all the above factors in mind, it's better to go for IIT Ropar. Additionally, it is recommended that you visit the websites of both institutions and speak with current students or faculty members to get a better sense of what each has to offer.

Life in iit ropar after an immense struggle

The fee structure is based on the category to which a student belongs. If you belong to a general category it costs about 1 lakh but if you are from some other category like OBC it will cost you one-third of the total admission fees if you are an sc or ST candidate then your tuition fee is completely zero. There is no need to buy books because there is a library on campus that issues books at no cost. I go to a scholarship because I am from the OBC category and in addition to that I got a scholarship called MCM.
