    Detailed information of institute.
    Placements: Placement is definitely less when we compare it with other courses like engineering. Our senior batch strength is 30 students, and all are placed with at least one offer. Eight students cracked state or central government civil service exams and got government jobs. Before placement, we all received internship opportunities. Consulting firms such as EMSI, Brain, BCG, and McKinsey, along with many NGOs and financial firms, came for hiring. A few students pursued Ph.D. studies, but in the end, 100% of the students were placed.
    Infrastructure: IITG campus can be rated as the most beautiful campus in India. They spent 1 crore for beautification, including greenery, water bodies, and mountains. The internet speed on campus is very fast; 4K videos play without any buffering. There are many clubs that actively participate in events like hackathons, music, dance, etc. The library is well-furnished and has almost all books. The downside is that some people may bully students who are emotionally weak, which can lead to others being downgraded. Each hostel room is shared by two people. The mess food is repetitive and not very tasty, and the hostel rooms have a lot of mosquitoes. The food is not spicy; I miss spicy food. Hostel rules are very strict.
    Faculty: Professors in IITG are highly talented; every faculty member has completed their Ph.D. The professors can be rude and strict, requiring proper discipline. The course schedule is very hectic. In the first two semesters, the syllabus includes 3 core subjects and 2 elective subjects. In the last two semesters, it includes 2 core subjects, 2 elective subjects, and 1 project. For the first year, the credit pattern is 36+36 credits per semester, and for the last year, it is 44+44 credits per semester. Exams are difficult, with mostly conceptual questions.
    Other: It is very tough to get into IIT. I am grateful that I got admission here. A lot of preparation and good marks are required. I think IIT doesn’t need any additional reason; the IIT tag itself is a source of pride.

    Q:   When will IIT JAM 2024 Cut off Releasing?

    A: 

    Unlike every year, where the exam results along with the JAM 2024 results also release the IIT JAM 2024 cutoff, this year JAM 2024 cut off is yet to be released. It is anticipated that the exam authority will soon release the IIT JAM 2024 cutoff within one or days.

    The authorities will be preparing the JAM cut off 2024 after checking various factors related to the entrance examination. IIT JAM 2024 cutoff will vary according to the subject and category that the candidate belongs to. Later, the authorities will also release the IIT JAM admission cutoff.

    Q:   What should be my target rank for highly competitive courses at IIT Guwahati?

    A: 

    Since the category of the candidate is not mentioned, I'm assuming the same to be under the General All India. To get admission into IIT Guwahati for BTech courses, the closing cutoff ranks ranged between 623 and 9178. Some of the highly competitive courses includes CSE, with the closing cutoff rank of 623, Data Science and AI, with the last-round closing rank of 995, Electrical and Communication Engineering, with the last-round closing rank of 1658. So to target the highly competitive courses, candidate must target a rank of under 2000.

    Q:   What to do after JEE Main session 2 result?

    A: 

    Candidates preparing for IITs are only required to appear for the JEE Advanced entrance exam after qualifying JEE Main. Students who who secure above the 98th percentile in JEE Main 2024 Session 2 should start preparing for JEE Advanced 2025 immediately. Those who score between 95th and 98th percentile should focus on improving their JEE Main score by taking multiple mock tests and practicing previous year's question papers. By analysing their strengths and weaknesses, candidates can identify their areas of proficiency and topics where they need improvement. If they can achieve full marks in their practice sessions, they can start preparing for JEE Advanced. However, if they cannot score full marks, it is recommended that they appear for multiple mock test series for more practice.
