Indian Institute of Technology B.Tech Review By Satish Kumar Mourya

Return of investment in IITs is better than at any other college. If your family income is more than Rs. 5 Lakh then your fee will be Rs. 11 – 12 Lakh overall. If your family income is less than Rs. 1 Lakh then your fee will only be Rs. 4 Lakh because you will get full concession on the tuition fee which is Rs. 8 Lakh. If your family income lies between Rs. 1 – 5 Lakh then your overall fee will only be Rs. 7 Lakh.

This year IIT Roorkee changed its academic curriculum towards more industrial and has also added courses like AI and DSAI in non circuital branches. Faculties are also highly qualified. Some are quite strict and do not let students give exams until they fulfill the 75% criteria whereas, some are quite lenient. IITs have mostly theoretical and research oriented curriculum.

IITs Roorkee have 800 professors and over 9,000 students which means that the student to faculty ratio is approximately 11:1 and it is considered very good. They have completed their PhD from top abroad universities or other IITs and have at least 10 – 15 years of experience. Some teachers are new but they hold good knowledge of teaching.

IIT Roorkee has the best placements. The maximum package offered was 1.75 CPA and the minimum package offered was 11 LPA. In the Chemical Engineering branch the highest package offered was 47 LPA and the minimum package offered was 15 LPA. The overall average package offered at the institute was 19 LPA.

The institute has 23 hostels among which 4 belong to girls, 1 is for the international students, 5 for the married couples, 1 is co-educational, and the rest belong to the boys. Currently 3 hostels are under construction.

The institute has well maintained infrastructure. There are 2 AC lecture halls among which one is the old one and one has been newly made. Hostel buildings also have good infrastructure but some buildings are a bit old as they were constructed earlier. Every year the Indian Government spends so much money for the renovation of IITs so by that you can easily guess that how great the infrastructure will be.

All 4 years of the campus life are very enjoyable. The environment is a bit competitive here as the students that come here compete with approximately 10 Lakh students. All of us are mostly awake till late hours in the night so some students enjoy and some focus on studying and developing new skills.
