Dark Reality of IIIT Kottayam

Likes

I my campus there are lots of clubs like coding club, hackathon there are many opportunities for the students who are intrested in coding field. And we also have cricket , football , batminton competitions to encourage students in playing sports
We have very good friendly faculty they will help us if we have any issue regarding subject or other personal problems and their teaching style is very good . Even if we don't understand anything they will take some special classes for us to improve
Even if we have students from different states initially we have some language barrier but after days passing everyone managed to communicate in one language that everyone knows , we all live here not like friends but as brothers

Dislikes

Our infrastructure is not so good , we have a small campus and it is far from the city even our hostel rooms are very small generally in our hostel room should be given to 1 person but they alloted 3 members in our rooms.
They are not providing us good food . If are cooking the food mostly in favour of North students many south indian students can't eat this food because there is no spice in the food and the cooking style is entirely different
I should say only one thing that our campus should provide good food for all the students and they should provide some big hostel rooms. Girls to boys ratio is 1:8 this is so sad to listen

Placement Experience:

From 7th semister students can sit in campus placements companies visited in our campus are Amazon , IBM, Bosch, Nissan, TCS, Infosys, NVIDIA, Cognizant, Deloitte, Jio, HP.. nearly 170 offers made in the year 2024 Highest package - 45LPA, Average package-12.7LPA , Highest internation package- 44LPA Almost 83 percentage of the students were placed After getting my degree i will start working in a software company

no placements but good to explore your interests

Likes

Infrastructure our college is providing is top notch, you wont be getting that infrastructure even in IITs or NITs.
So much free time will be there( no academic work load ) this helps us to pursue our interests.and leaves on saturday and sunday and almost friday sometimes so you can explore things and lso go on trips sometimes
beautiful campus. also crowd in the college is less compared with other colleges so you can peacefully sit and enjoy the campus beauty also as college is situated in kerala you can explore so many beautiful places which are just an hour or 2 from clg

Dislikes

placements are worst. litrally for our batch from 2021 to 2025 batch almost 70 percent students are unplaced
strict timings. after 9 30 students cant roam even inside the campus. they'll be locked inside hostels
minimum of 80 percent attendance is required. no medical certificates will be allowed

Placement Experience:

worst placements that anyone can expect. Honestly there are only 15 companies which came and those companies hired 1 or 2. just imagine the situation of other students who payed 15 lakhs just to get placement.

IIITK is a Mixed Bag

Likes

Internet availability at the hostels are very good
Gymnasium is available for the students for 1000 per sem
Different stores inside the campus can take care of the basic amenities

Dislikes

Food in the mess of disastrous quality and too expensive
Wifi in the first year hostels are bad and inconsistent
Location of the college is in the middle of nowhere

Placement Experience:

CS placements in this college is satisfactory about 12 lpa average. Only one ECE batch has passed out so far and as far as I know ECE placements have been not that great. But I guess it has improved a bit this year.

1st YEAR REVIEW OF IIIT KOTTAYAM

Likes

Hostel life is basic but comfortable. Rooms are decent, and the mess offers a mix of Kerala and North Indian food. Students bond over late-night study sessions, assignments, and everyday challenges.
Seniors at IIIT Kottayam are incredibly supportive and approachable. Here no discrimination based on states.
And here language is not the problem at all. Most of the Kerala students, peoples know Hindi and English. Because in Kerala education curriculum Hindi is compulsory language till class 8.

Dislikes

Like most institutes, IIIT Kottayam requires a minimum percentage of attendance (typically 80%) for students to be eligible to appear for end-semester exams.80 percent is more than other government colleges.

Placement Experience:

Here placement is descent more good than other IIIT's. And its gradually increasing in upcoming years. Here average package is slightly lower this year due to recession but it's good than most of IIIT's. Average package 12.70 lakh.

IIIT Kottayam at a glance from an insider

Likes

The campus is situated at a scenic location near Valavoor village in Kottayam, Kerala. The view is quite breathtaking, especially during the rainy season.The Summers,on the other hand,can be really harsh. Campus is clean and well maintained.
Most of the professors are really helpful. Also seniors take lots of initiatives through various clubs(technical as well as cultural).The curriculum ensures that students are taught and prepared according to the current industrial requirements.
Like any other national college, the diversity in the students is quiet amazing. We get to know about people from all the corners of the country.

Dislikes

The worst thing about the college is definitely the mess food. I have experienced hostel Life since 5th grade. But never ever I have seen such poor quality food. Vegetarians like me will surely suffer the most. Atleast some fruits should be given...
The sports facilities are in absolute shambles. Most of the schools have better facilities than the college. Football and cricket share the same ground(rather just a open,plain and dusty area). Volleyball has a seperate court that gets flooded
The outpass system is outrageous considering that this is a college not a boarding school. Now they have introduced online portal for outpass. If you arrive late 3 times than the stipulated time you will not be given outpass thereafter. What is this?

Placement Experience:

highest CTC-45 LPA Average-12.66 LPA Individual Placements- 126 No.of Offers-169 Companies: Amazon, IBM,Bosch,Nissan ,TCS, Infosys,Nvidia,Cognizant,Wipro, Goldman Sachs, Capgemini and many more more details are available on the official website of IIIT Kottayam
