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.
