Jaipal Singh Goud's Review on International Institute of Information Technology, [IIIT] Hyderabad

• Placements: This is where International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad beats all its competitor's hands-down. Students here enjoy the best job opportunities in India and abroad. Also, the strong programming culture here makes the students of IIIT-H the hot favorites in the market.
  For IITs, I would say that they definitely have a big brand name thanks to the generous funds given to each of IITs by the government and their illustrious alumni network. IITs manage to get some really talented students who are capable enough of achieving anything without any external help. But IMHO, IITs also have a good course structure for computer science and some really good professors, though they are slightly less focused on core CS courses than IIIT-H.
• Internships: Almost every student at IIIT-H has entered at least once during the duration of his college period. Students get internship offers at the end of 3rd and 4th year from giant companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

• Infrastructure: International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad is spread over an area of 70 acres and is a plush green campus. It has world class research centers for research in fields such as linguistics, humanities, natural sciences, etc. Because the college only has about 1500 students, the space per student ratio is a big one.
• The quality of classrooms at IIIT are also state of the art.

Academics: International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, since the very beginning, has its focus on IT education. So right from the first semester itself, we are made to study the core CS courses, unlike other colleges which have general topics being taught in the first two semesters. Apart from the CS and electronics courses, we have Human Values, PT, and Arts for all-round development of the students. We have a strong programming culture here, which is inculcated in the students right from the first semester. All our Computer Programming assignments are based have to be uploaded on a portal and is evaluated by an Online Judge. This makes us comfortable with the competition-level coding from the very beginning.

Faculty: IIIT-H has one of the best faculty for Computer Science in the country. All our professors have PhDs from top-rated institutions around the world.  Prof. Kannan Srinathan, Prof. P J  Narayanan, and Prof. B Yegnanarayana are quite popular names in the field of Computer Science education.
Undergraduate students are also given opportunities to get involved in teaching at IIIT-H. Every course has Teaching Assistants, who are senior students who have already taken that course and have done well in it.

• On this front, International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad is a little costlier than the other government colleges like the IITs and the NITs.
• One Semester tuition Fee for B.Tech Computer Science Engineering is around: 1,00,000 /- ( 1 Lakh), Housing and Mess Fee for one semester: 40,000 /-
• Bank loans are easily available for students in need.
• The college offers financial scholarship to students who may not be able to pay for themselves.

• The institute attracts bright students selected through national level competitive examinations and interviews. It believes that the true potentials of such students cannot be realized through academics alone. The students are provided with opportunities for exploring and enhancing their talents in extra- curricular activities as well. Accordingly, the academic programs are backed up with appropriate co- curricular and extra-curricular inputs promoting culture, sports, self-governance, and values; all of which help the students towards becoming complete human beings.
