IIIT-Delhi Designs Mobile Application to Create Awareness Against COVID-19

April 14, 2020: IIIT Delhi - Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology has designed an android mobile application named ‘WashKaro’ to create awareness among the society about the Coronavirus. The app acts as a complete infodemic control system and was also presented at World Health Organisation (WHO), Geneva on April 8, through video conferencing. The users can listen or read the information from government advisories.

Benefits of application includes:

  • A Symptom Tracker for people to know if they are safe. There is also an in-built CovidTracer, a tool that tells people if they are near to any COVID-19 positive person. The technology uses a Bluetooth connection for establishing communication. It does not require and data connection or storage space on the device
  • Use of Artificial Intelligence technology to cross-refer news with WHO documents. This ensures that people are shielded from fake information and hoaxes

In addition, IIIT has also released a website called CoronaActionIndia

In addition, IIIT has also released a website called CoronaActionIndia, a revamped portal that houses all policy updates and validated information along with a dashboard to make it easy to navigate.

The creation of patient management and tracking tool is another successful initiative. Given the increasing number of patients every day, it can be helpful to have an organised online ledger that can track and monitor the affected individuals. The information is sourced from trusted sources such as WHO, public advisories from ICMR and reputed institutions such as AIIMS, New Delhi.

IIIT Delhi: Honest Review.

Placements: Due to strict eligibility criteria, many students don’t get placed and are often not allowed to sit for placements. These students are not included in the placement statistics, which leads the college to report a placement rate of 98.81%. For example, TCS recently visited the campus and set a minimum eligibility criterion of 8.5 CGPA, offering a package of 4.5 LPA. The highest packages go up to crores, but these are typically for overseas placements. Most domestic placements offer an in-hand sal...

Worth the money, providing great opportunities, and facilities.

Placements: In 2024, the number of people placed in our college was quite low, with an average percentage of 30% placed. Applied Mathematics branches can apply and are always selected for any CSE or CSAI departments. The number of people offered internships was also quite low compared to the previous batches. Many companies that were supposed to provide PPO's did not provide PPO's. The top roles offered in placements were SDE roles. Jio, Oracle, Meesho, IBM, SCry Analytics, and Microsoft being among the to...

Very much satisfied with the course curriculum.

Placements: The highest package offered by IIIT Delhi is in the range of INR 45 to 55+ LPA for domestic offers, and international offers sometimes reach upwards of INR 1 crore per annum. The average package is between INR 15 to 20 LPA for CSE and related branches, and other branches like Electronics might have a slightly lower average package. The lowest package could be around INR 6 to 8 LPA, depending on the company and the role. Around 80–90% of students receive internships through campus.

Good infrastructure and a hard curriculum at IIITD.

Placements: Around 90% of students were placed from IIITD this year. The highest package was around 50 LPA, and the average package for all branches was 18 LPA, while for CSE it was 22 LPA. The internship season is a bit off for this semester compared to previous year data due to the ongoing recession. Top roles offered are in tech companies like Google, Microsoft, Jio, etc., primarily as software engineers.
