• IIT Mandi is one of the finest colleges in India when it comes to academics. It being an IIT is already a part of an elite group of institutions. Talking of faculty here, they need to have a Ph.D at least to be recruited here and they follow an interactive method of teaching to help the students throught the process. The classes are generally timed between 8AM and 5PM with weekly assignments and exams thrice a semester. All major courses have a project associated with them that the students need to finish by the end of the semester. Students are given the freedom to choose majority of the courses according to their interests and many students opt for a semester exchange in other universities too, in Germany, Sweden and Denmark majorly as the college provides a chance for the same. Apart from B.Tech, IIT Mandi has M.Tech, M.S, M.Sc, and Ph.D as other domains for the students.
• Overall I would say that this is a fine institute to come to and have your academic future taken care of.

• All the clubs inside Indian Institute of Technology, [IIT] Mandi are managed by the students and faculties combined. Each club has one or more student co-ordinator and one or more faculty co-ordinators.

• The Placement Scenario at Indian Institute of Technology, [IIT] Mandi is quite good for CSE students, but it's very bad for EE and ME students. Almost all the CSE students have got placed in the year 2015. Same is the scene with Internship. Many known companies, such as Flipkart, Amazon, Microsoft visit the campus for CSE students (Internship and Placement), but very few core EE and ME companies visit the campus. Key companies that hire from our campus for the role of SDE/SDET include Flipkart, Amazon, Microsoft, Drishti-Soft, Samsung Research, Practo, Grofers.

• The average number of students who get a scholarship is 12 from each branch consisting of 40-50 students.
• Since this is a government college, the fee is quite less, but if needed, several banks such as SBI and PNB offer scholar loans to IITians.

• All the classes and labwork at Indian Institute of Technology, [IIT] Mandi takes place between 8 AM and 6 PM, although sometimes professors tend to keep the classes as late has 9 PM too, when the syllabus lacks behind the schedule. Most of the courses involve assignments or projects or both.
  Each theory lecture is of 50 minutes duration followed by a 10 minutes break. Each semester, students have to write 2 Quizzes and one End-Sem exam for each course, which becomes quite tiresome.
• The quality of teaching depends from one branch to the other and also, from one teacher to the other. Most of the faculties are highly qualified and motivated towards teaching. At the end, it's the student who is supposed to put in the efforts.
• The overall academic experience is average for CSE students, as many of them don't learn much required CS courses during their 4 years B.Tech. degree. It's below average for EE and ME students.

• For CSE, students may get internship and job very easily with companies like Microsoft, google, Amazon with stipends and also provide PPO if you were very brilliantly during the internship.
• The average salary figure for CSE is around Rs 9-10 lakhs per annum.
• But for EE and ME, it is very difficult to get both internship and jobs. very fewer companies come to take few students. So most of the EE and ME students, who don't even have interest in CS courses, would sit in IT companies to secure at least one job.
• For CSE I'll rate 9 out of 10 but for EE and ME I'll rate 3.

• The college fees were not much high during my admission and government provide MCm scholarship for every top 10 students in particular branch.
• This scholarship includes your whole tuition fees plus Rs 1000 per month.
