Faculty: Our professors here are very good, they teach very well. All the professors are well qualified and graduated. There are also good things here. Later on there is a lot of time left due to which we can concentrate more on our skill projects.

Faculty: IIT is IIT because of its curriculum, its course structure, and teaching facility which makes us industry ready, therefore giving such high placements. The faculty members here are very highly qualified and skilled, some of them are very helpful. Semester exams are generally not so tough but you atleast need to study 2 weeks before the exam to get decent grades.
