The environment of the campus is so nice and good.
Placements: Wipro, L&T, Deloitte, TCS, Flipkart, Byju's, Vedantu, Amazon - these companies are the main hiring partners. There are also many more, but I'm not able to recall them currently. In my last semester, I have to submit a major project and present it in front of the placement cell or HOD.
Infrastructure: We have different fests throughout the year: Alcheringa (cultural fest), which is held around February or March every year; Techniche (tech fest), which is held around September every year; Spirit (sports fest), which is held around November every year; and other small fests like UDGAM, Virasat, and Prayatna, etc. The range and accessibility of books and journals available in the library are vast. The classrooms are equipped with speakers, projectors, and different facilities. There are so many extracurricular activities and clubs in the college, like a film club, a photography club, an electronics club, and a coding club, etc.
Faculty: Faculty members are very experienced in their subjects. Some faculty members are like our parents; they guide and motivate us and also crack jokes in the middle of class, but some faculty members are very strict. In my class, every subject has the best, most knowledgeable faculty available.

It has good faculty members and good infrastructure.
Placements: About 20% of students were placed in M.Sc. chemistry. The lowest salary package is 6 LPA and the highest is 20 LPA. Coaching centers like Aakash and Byjus come for placements, and students also participate in general placements if they know about coding. About 40% to 50% of students go abroad for their Ph.D.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of IITG is excellent. Hostels have all the facilities that are found in any five-star hotel. It has a good Wi-Fi connection with an internet speed of 100-150 Mbps. Classrooms are outstanding. The library has a vast collection of books. It also has lots of journals and research papers. In hostels, the quality of food is very good. Canteens are available 24*7. There is no compromise on the health of students. Medical facilities are too good. All are free of cost. Sports and games facilities are also good. There are lots of playgrounds for outdoor games. The hostel also has a sports room, a music room, a TV room, etc.
Faculty: The country's brightest brains are produced at IITs. So faculty members must be highly knowledgeable. Most of the professors got their degrees from the world's top institutions like MIT, Harvard University, Oxford University, Max-Plank Institute of Germany, etc. Their teaching quality is good. They are very friendly in nature. Courses are highly planned for the benefit of students. Semester exams are not so tough. There is a grading system in IITG. Students will pass if they have a minimum grade of 4.
Other: If students want to make their career in educational services or research, they must choose this course. If you are doing this course from IITG, it will be the best decision. Along with education, it also provides the scope for extracurricular activities. It helps to grow connections in different fields. No one can explain the campus's natural beauty in words.

Hostel infrastructure and food outlets are awesome.
Placements: My university taught me critical job-search skills and provided me with networking opportunities with potential employers. My seniors were placed at Adobe, Amazon, Bank of America, Deloitte, Ericsson, Facebook, Infosys, Xerox Research, Microsoft, Oracle, Samsung, and PWC. My university was equipped with excellent infrastructure to support each and every stage of the placement process. The career centre assisted me in arranging Pre-Placement Talks, Written Tests, Group Discussions, Interviews, etc.
Infrastructure: The hostel room, originally designed for single occupancy, had to accommodate two people due to damage caused by an earthquake. As a result, the room feels cramped. It is furnished with one table, two chairs, one almirah, and two shelves. However, there are no mattresses provided for the two beds. The quality of meals in the hostels varies, with some being good and others being bad. Students have the flexibility to change their Mess subscription at the beginning of each month. The hostel fee includes INR 18,000 for the mess, INR 500 for student fees, and INR 6,000 for hostel rent per semester. Rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis during the admissions process. The annual hostel fee amounts to INR 33,000.
Faculty: I have enrolled in this course because chemistry offers a wide range of career opportunities in fields such as pharmaceuticals, chemical labs, and medicine. In our class, there were 34 students out of a maximum capacity of 40. This resulted in a student-to-faculty ratio of 6:1, with 2 assistant professors who had completed their Ph.D. and 4 faculty members who had obtained post-graduate degrees from reputable universities and had teaching experience. The teaching method employed was effective, allowing me to comprehend all the chapters taught. Term exams were conducted every two months, and attending all the classes ensured a high chance of passing. The class size was 67 students, and the course fee amounted to INR 58,000 per year.

It has good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: The placement cell is good at IIT Guwahati. All department students get the opportunity to sit in an interview for placements. It gives experience for the future. Top companies, like Microsoft, Tata, Reliance, etc., are supposed to come. The interviews are good.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is well designed and eco-friendly. All hostels have many of the facilities that a student needs, like sports rooms, gym equipment, and a library. Laboratories are very good. All the requirements, like the NMR machine and IR machine, are there, which are generally not present in normal universities.
Faculty: Faculty members are very friendly. They set up an environment like a family where we can share our problems and get solutions. All the courses are good. Semester exams are very conceptual. They do not ask directly from the notebooks. Professors are very well educated. They used to explain everything that we needed.
Other: I chose this course because I want to further my research in the chemistry field. The courses are already very good. All types of events are organised in our IIT. Scholarship opportunities are also created.

IIT Guwahati is phenomenal college.
Placements: About 30% to 35% of our senior batch were placed. The maximum salary package was 50 LPA in the US, and the minimum was around 5 LPA to 6 LPA. Core students get a lower package through chemistry. They generally get placed in some coaching institutes like Allen, Resonance, Akash, Byjus, and in some good pharmaceutical industries. If you have practiced well in coding, then you can apply for non-core placement and get high packages. At the institution level, generally, 50% to 60% of students get internships. Overall, it's a good experience to be part of IIT Guwahati.
Infrastructure: There is excellent Wi-Fi throughout the campus, hostel, and library. There is no Wi-Fi or cellular network in classrooms so that students can focus on their studies. The speed of Wi-Fi is also decent. We have also provided LAN connections in our hostel rooms. The quality of food is amazing, but the thing is that you are going to get bored after a while with the repetitive menu of food. Medical facilities are amazing and free of cost. There are lots of playgrounds and gyms so that students can maintain their physical fitness. Each hostel has a sports room which also contains many gaming things. Overall, it's an excellent experience with the infrastructure and facilities in IIT Guwahati. We have been provided with good classrooms with projectors.
Faculty: Teachers are excellent and are top-notch. Our curriculum is well designed for excellence, and our semester systems are very fun. If you are good at studying, then you are going to enjoy it. Overall, more than 95% of students pass.
