Sachin Modi's Review on Indian Institute of Technology, [IIT] Hyderabad
Placements and Internships
- I have not done an internship in the first year.
- Companies like Boeing, Google, Microsoft, IBM etc come for campus placement.
- Average placement was 8.4lpa and highest package was Rs 1.2cr.
- Alumini network is very weak because it is a new IIT.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
- Hostels are there to accomodate everyone.
- No PGs are required.
- Food is average for a North Indian.
- Infrastructure is just above average because of the temporary campus. Wifi gets unstable at times.
Academics and 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.
Fees and Scholarships
- Course fee is Rs 2.5 lakhs per annum from 2016 batch onwards. For my batch it was Rs 1.5 Lakhs per annum including the hostel fee and mess fee.
- Scholarships are given depending upon parental income and category. MCM and IFS are the two main scholarships. I am also getting MCM scholarship. 25% and 10% respectively are given the scholarship.
- If loans are needed , SBI is in the campus itself. Loans are easy to get.
Clubs and Associations
- There are many student clubs like rang de manch, dance club, vibes(music club), Infocus etc are some of the cultural clubs. Torque, Electronica , robotics club, lambda etc are some of the technical clubs.
- Nvision and Elan are the main festival. Nvision is the tech fest held in November and Elan is the culti fest held in Jan.
- A lot of time is wasted in travelling from ODF to Kandi, that is the only -ve part of IIT hyd. College life is great with very helpful seniors around .

Academics & 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

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.
