Most beautiful campus in India with great placements and facilities.

Placements: Around 69% of students got placed in our course. The highest salary package offered is 51.03 LPA, the average is 16.34 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 6 LPA. As far as the biotech core is concerned, there are recruiting pharma companies like Piramal Healthcare, etc. but for students of the BSBE field pursuing SDE, there are big recruiters like Adobe, Oracle, BNY, etc.

Infrastructure: College offers 24/7 air-conditioned classrooms, students can access labs and classrooms to study at any time. We have a big central library spread across 3 floors and a ground floor and 24/7 open during exams. All course books are available and apart from that novels, magazines are available. We can request books as well as we can issue them. Hostels are also in good condition except few. There are 14 hostels, 2 for girls, 1 shared for both girls and boys, and the rest are all for boys. We have libraries in the hostel. Facilities like a gym, sports room, music room, TV room and canteen are available. We have an IITG hospital with a 24/7 ambulance facility.

Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable, but some don't teach well, while some are excellent at teaching. The course curriculum has AI and ML in the 3rd year as a part of Biotechnology. It is one the easiest courses in IIT Guwahati and can be done 1 week before end-semester.

Other: I chose this course because of IIT, and the best thing about the course is we get a lot of free time to work on ourselves and upskill ourselves. In the 5th semester, we have a hectic schedule, which I want to change because already we have internship season. However, the rest of the course is great. Fests like Alcheringa, Techniche, Spirit, Prayatna, Spic Macay, etc., are conducted on campus and have almost 7000+ students from all Ph.D., M.Tech, B.Teach, and M.A. Campus connectivity is a bit weak we have to cross the river to go to the city while surrounding is pollutionless. We have scholarships available for department toppers as well as students with good grades. If the family income is below 8 LPA then students are eligible for scholarships. We have a new SAC which is the hub of all technical and cultural clubs like robotics, movies, etc. Large sports ground is also available.

IIT Guwahati Honest Review.

Placements: About 80-85 percent of students got placed in my college with average package of 23.84 Lacs per annum but for my course bio-technology its about 18 Lacs and minimum would be 5 LPA and the highest is 40+LPA. Almost all the students will get internship but without stipend. Top recruiting companies are Big MNCs like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe and also some companies like cleartax offers you good job with 12+ LPA just beacuse of your degree and IIT tag. Almost all the students passed out from here works in corporates.

Infrastructure: In classroom there is 8 ACs in every class and a projector but no Wi-Fi but you will get it in Labs, Library. Departmental building are pretty cool except for the old ones but they are also renovated. In the hostel there is one B.Ed table, chair anc a fan available. Mess is really very impressive and also pocketfriendly as compared to other colleges. In the mess we have option for eggs and chicken some day and the veg food. Milk is also available which is too included in diet no extra Medical facilites are also there is small hospital under its campus which is fully covered under IIT insurance card. Talking about Sports there is synthetic ground for Basketball, Tennis and a track and field, Almost a small stadium is there which is spread over 100 acres.

Faculty: Teachers are all helpful and highly qualified, they have completed their Ph.D. either from a IIT itself or abroad. But teaching method is just like other colleges yes Curriculum is relevant, it is for making us industry ready and give its exposure Semester exams are not difficult to pass but very hectic cause there is no holiday inbetween the final exams and also there is mathematics department which is very strict, they can even fail half of the class, so be prepare for Maths from the beginning.

Other: I was getting this course only in IIT Guwahati and I also had option for other IITs but I chose this one just because of its placements and campus life. There is nothing to be improved in my course coz there is lot of free time I can do whatever I want in this free time and very less stressful. There are lot of events happening in a semester like cultural fest, fresher party, one of them is Alcheringa, I am too an organizer in it. This is the biggest fest of north east in which outsider are also allowed and celebrities are called to perform.
