My life at IIT Guwahati.
Placements: Almost 90% of the students are placed in the college. The highest package can be around 60 to 75 LPA, the average package is about 25 to 30 LPA, and the lowest would be about 7 to 8 LPA. The top recruiting companies of my course would be ONGC in core or else, and tech companies like Microsoft or some point companies. Many persons also get internships.
Infrastructure: The fully air-conditioned library and very good library facilities are available. The hostel has very good rooms, and the food of the hostel is also very good. Different avenues are there, and I really like the food. There is some problem in Wi-Fi and land cables in some hostels, but it also gets sorted once we complain.
Faculty: Semester exams are a bit tough, and the curriculum is a bit hectic. After Delhi and Kanpur, the hectic curriculum is of IIT Guwahati only. Otherwise, from the 2nd year, the chemical engineering branch is a bit tougher with respect to the first year, and the internal exams are a bit tough.

Honestly, very good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: Mostly above 95 percent of the students of our course got placements. Coming to the numbers of the packages, the highest package is above 2 crores in recent years. The average will be around 20 Lacs per annum. The lowest package is 4 Lacs per annum like that. Top recruiting companies are, of course, the top companies in the world like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and so many top companies.
Infrastructure: Coming to the facilities provided by the institution, they are really appreciable. There are many hostels in our college. For every single hostel, there is separate Wi-Fi. Public places like canteens, parks, libraries, and classrooms have Wi-Fi. The quality in the mess is very good. There are many dishes. Every day, we will have non-veg, veg, paneer, and all. Every food item will be available in the canteens. There is vast space for sports and games, which are especially extraordinary.
Faculty: Really, the teachers are very helpful, highly qualified, and highly knowledgeable. Teaching quality is extremely good. For industry readiness, it may not be in the first year, but after that, the real race for industries starts. Semester exams are at a good level. I cannot say extremely difficult, but they are extremely good papers.
Other: A very good thing about IITs, especially, is less crowd and more space. Our college is nearly more than 700 acres. What not, everything was good there. Sports fests, cultural fests, and more.

Engineering Physics is good only for research.
Placements: Around 60% of students in the B.Tech in EP are placed, which is less. Because most of the students do not sit for placements as they are more enthusiastic towards research or higher studies. Companies like Goldman Sachs, Texas Instruments, Walmart, Zomato, and Microsoft recruit students. Students can change their field irrespective of their department to different roles like SDE, finance, quant, consulting, or product management. The highest salary package offered is 39 LPA. The median salary package offered is 22 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 12 LPA. Out of a batch of 60, only 8-10 students secured internships. A lot of others (10-15) got research internships, which I would count out.
Infrastructure: We have great and advanced electrical labs in Physics department and other labs are also well-equipped. Technicians are also very smart and helpful. The whole academic block, hostel rooms, and other common areas are equipped with free Wi-Fi that has a decent speed. Only the core 5 classroom complex and lecture halls are air-conditioned, and some classes are in other scores. Most of our classes will be in Core 5, which means mostly great classes. Every hostel has its own library, and we also have a great central library with air-conditioning. It has a great number of books and a lot of seating space. Hostel rooms are double-occupancy for 1st and 2nd-year students. Food in the mess is not great. Still, they serve a lot of options. We can always call for an ambulance from any security desk. Hospital is also good and provides free medicine with no charges. All hostels have a gym and a sports room. Overall, a gym is efficient and well-maintained. Sports facilities are great if we know how to use them.
Faculty: No doubt, IIT Guwahati has one of the best faculty members in India. Teaching quality is not very bad. Some professors are good and some are very bad at teaching. The EP course is far irrelevant for any industry but it is good if we are interested in research. Semester exams are difficult in the Physics department as professors here are not very supportive.
Other: I chose this course because I have an affection for Physics, and the best part is that it provides enough opportunities. There are a lot of fests organized on campus. We have all types of crowds as street-smart, bookworms, etc. Campus is pretty much out of Guwahati city like it is on the other side of the city. We can even take a ferry to reach there.
