Basava Kanaparthi's Review on Indian Institute of Technology, [IIT] Mandi
Placements and Internships
Almost all of the CS batch gets placed. But the placement offers for the EE,Mech is not so promising. Being a younger institute with only two batches of students graduated, the alumni network still is nascent.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
This area is a bigger concern for IIT Mandi. Although, the institute has started operating from the permanent campus much of the instracture is yet to be developed.
Academics and Faculty
Quality of academics is on par with the other older IITs.
But the shortage of good faculty is a con. Some of the courses were offered through NKN from the older IITs, though a bit ineffective it partially addressed the issue.

Academics & Faculty : 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 an

Academics & Faculty : 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.
