Kushagra Saxena's Review on Indian Institute of Technology, [IIT] Hyderabad
Placements and Internships
- I did a research project under a Prof. in IIT Hyderabad only. I got INR 5000 as stipend.
- Companies like Boeing, Mercedes Benz, Microsoft, IBM, etc come for placements in the college.
- Highest package was nearly Rs 1.2 crores. Average placement was around Rs 8 LPA.
- Being a new IIT, alumini network is very weak. It has started to build on sith some alumini meets happening now.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
- Hostels are there for everyone. Hostel and mess fee is included in total fee.
- No PGs are required.
- Food Quality is average. With the same menu being repeated in every weak, Outside dhabas, restuarants become common place to dine out.
- New campus is being constructed and it will require years to be completed. the infra we have got is managable .
Academics and Faculty
Being in second year, the daily routine becomes qiute hectic. Travelling from ODF ( Hostels) to Kandi ( Academic Bulilding) leads to a lot of wastage of time. Generally we are free by 5:30 in the evening. I am a part fo BAJA team, so for me it is usually longer.
IIT Hyd has fractal academics( our sem is divided into 3 segments) which means we dont have end sems or mid sems but have end segments.
Prof. are mostly young, average age is around 35-40. Also they are very friendly and cooperative.
Because of fractals we have to study throughout the sem, because of fractals we are able to study more things related to our branch rather than general courses
Fees and Scholarships
- For our batch the fee is Rs 1.5 LPA. But from 2016 btach onwards it is raised to nearly Rs 2.5 LA.
- MCM is available( given to 25% of the student) , IFS is given to 10% of the students. These scholarships are given on the basis of merit, category and parental income.
- SBI is in the campus itself, so they help students in getting loans.
Clubs and Associations
- There are many student clubs, both sci tech and cultural. I am myself a part of Torque( mechanical club ) . Other clubs include Electronica, Lambda, Kludge, Robotics etc. Cultural Clubs include vibes, Infocus, litsoc, rangde manch and many more.
- Nvision and Elan are the main festivals. TedX is also there. Nvision is in November and Elan is in Jan.
- The students around make the college, with the best minds working together IIT Hyd is a great place to stay in.

Academics & Faculty : Second year is a bit hectic with classes till 5:30. Assignments are given almost twice a week. We have fractals academics in IIT Hyderabad, exams happen min thrice in a sem. IIT Hyd follows continous evaluation. Prof. are mostly young with average age being 35 years. They have many contacts in foreign universities. Permanent campus is in construction phase, so a lot of time is wasted in travelling from tempoarary campus to permanent campus.

Academics & Faculty : We have fractal system in IIT Hyderabad, which means that we have exams 3 times in a semester, plus if a prof. wish he or she can take exams in between as well. One of the benefits of having fractal system is that we dont have the burden of end sems or mid sems. We generally have 3-4 assignments which needs to submitted on a weakly basis ( This may vary from branch to branch, also from segment ot segment) Prof. are very cooperative, you can approach them any time up till 5pm. Prof are generally middle aged with average age being 35, so they are not much experienced but are up to date with latest tech. I am quite satisfied with IIT Hyd, especially the academics part.
Academics & Faculty : Being a member of Baja Team for 2016-2017 my daily routine is bit hectic as compared to the other students of Mechanical. Time Management becomes very important. Mostly classes are till 1p.m. and some times they are extended till 6 Pm. We have fractal academics and the exams are held almost once in every month. Prof. are really helpful and friendly and have contacts worldwide. Top students get a chance to do internship in University of Purdue. I think I made the right decision by entering into IIT hyderabad.
