Dreams come true here in IIT Delhi.
Placements: The lowest package is around 8 LPA, and the highest package for the MSc Chemistry course is around 24 LPA. The average package is around 14 LPA. Mainly Ed Tech companies are the top recruiters here, including Physics Wallah, Allen, Fiitjee, etc. Both industrial and EdTech companies come, and on average, 65% got selected for internships. Both foreign and domestic internships are available for the students.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. Since the campus includes much more than academic blocks. There are big 3 playgrounds for sports activities. Lecture halls are pretty big. Wi-Fi is available all over campus, so no issues with that. Labs contain all important equipment which is missing in other colleges such as DU's. Central Library contains all important stuff that one can require. Hostel rooms are decent, but yeah, mess food is not that good, like it's above average. IIT Delhi Hospital is there for any medical emergency, with pharmacy shops and an ambulance.
Faculty: Faculty is very much interactive and helpful. They promote us to engage with the subject so as to get deep knowledge of it. All faculty members are highly qualified, and everyone has a foreign PhD degree. Their teaching quality is very good, to be honest. The course curriculum is somewhat hectic in IITs because of the high-quality faculty set up the semester exams. There are a total of 4 exams in one semester, which includes 2 surprise quizzes and one minor exam and one major exam. Almost everyone passes the exams; there is no such difficulty in passing.
Other: I am pursuing my Master's Degree in Chemistry because of my interest in chemicals and their synthesis and reactions. Although I chose this college because of its research work , which is phenomenal under such high-quality faculty. Some relaxation is needed in the course curriculum, but yes, it is the standard of IIT which makes it an IIT. Fests and events are conducted all over the year. With high number of crowd participation. Campus life is best in IITs. We make connections easily because many clubs and societies are there. The campus is situated in South Delhi, which has good connectivity. Extracurricular activities are promoted along with academics. Which makes it an all-round college or, we can say, a college of dreams.

Review of IIT Delhi - Indian Institute of Technology.
Placements: The placements are very less for Masters in the chemistry course due to very highly skilled and deserving candidates of B.Tech compared to us. Placements are provided for students with skills to compete with engineers. Apart from IT, there are courses like data science to help you get placed easily. 20-30% of students got placed. The highest package offered was 12 LPA, the lowest package was 6 LPA, and the average package is 8 LPA. Companies offer data analytics roles. It is a two-year course, so there is no internships for Masters students.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are the best in IIT Delhi. The department of chemistry has a lot of distinguished professors. One can use facilities to get the maximum efficiency. Wi-Fi is easily accessible. Common channel Wi-Fi and the department of chemistry Wi-Fi are available. Labs are well-equipped. The quality of food is good. Medical facilities are good as we have an IIT hospital and an ambulance to reach AIIMS Safdarjung Hospital easily. Sports games facilities are the best here.
Faculty: The teaching quality is excellent. Students get research-oriented environment. The course curriculum is designed to make students pursue PhD in future. Semester exams are comparatively difficult and more frequent as compared to other universities. But the course is well developed, and the education provided is good.
Other: Our batch has 65 students, and students join here after clearing IIT JAM with tough competition from many students. I love chemistry and wanted to pursue my PhD in this subject, and for research-oriented chemistry, I chose IIT Delhi. I love to explore more of IIT Delhi.

It has good infrastructure, facilities and placements.
Placements: I do not have an idea about placements because I do not do any interaction with seniors. But I heard that students who have good CGPA got an opportunity and got a job with good package.
Infrastructure: In our chemistry department library, many books are not available. It has some select books which are very difficult to find anywhere. The college provides a central library for every branch, and you can take every book from here. Classes will be held in LHC. Wi-Fi facility is everywhere inside the campus. The campus is very natural, and you will enjoy the most. It has the best quality in the lab. Medical facilities are available. BSW will organise so many games for students. Yoga classes are also provided for students, which are very helpful.
Faculty: Teachers in our college are well-qualified and educated. They teach us very kindly and respectfully. They are very supportive and helpful. They interact with everyone. The course curriculum was very helpful, and they teach us very nicely. It is useful for industrial purpose also. Teachers are very supportive. You can also do the project on vacation leave.
Other: I have chosen this course because I like chemistry, and it is my favourite subject. The best thing about our course is you can learn everything thing which is very helpful for life. I wish the college should improve some topics like environmental and nuclear science in our course. Many events are organised at our college every day. Many students participate in different activities. Fest is also organised here. The campus is not very crowded. Scholarships are also provided for economically weak student.

Infrastructure and hostel life is good. There is a quality education.
Placements: Generally, after M.Sc chemistry course, students like to get a job in ONGC, IONCL, BRARC and Geoscience through GATE exam and get an average salary package of 14-19 LPA. Students also like to go abroad for further PhD study. Almost 80% of the students have this kind of future planning. For an internship, students go in different IITs, IISC, ONGC, IONCL and foreign universities through professor recommendations. They also provide scholarships of Rs. 7,000-8,000 per month for students who are doing an internship.
Infrastructure: There are two types of students, i.e., day scholars and full-time, so full-time students fill for hostel accommodation and get a hostel on the campus at admission time. The infrastructure of our college is good, and mess food has hygiene quality. Wi-Fi is good with 3-4 MS speed. The central library provides all type of books, and e-books are also available at the library site. The library is open for 24x7. Laboratories are good enough. There is a hospital on the campus, and if students are in any serious case, then they are directly admitted in AIIMS by IITD ambulance. All kinds of medical facilities are free of cost. For sports, there are football, cricket, badminton, tennis, basketball, hockey, weightlifting, swimming pool, gym, yoga and all kind of facilities are available with the guidance of a coach. In the hostel, day and night canteen facilities are also available.
Faculty: All the teachers in our college are well-qualified. They like to help in problems, but first, we have to give 100% to a problem; otherwise, they will not help. All professors are postdoctoral from well-known universities from abroad. The course curriculum is relevant, but it is lengthy. It always has a study pressure for IIT students. However, the industry has the first preference to students of IITs because work technics are given here. Teaching is also a passion of some students, so they focus on NET, JRF and lecturer exams.
Other: After B.Sc I have written an entrance exam of M.Sc in IITs called jam and got selected in IITD. It is the best place to pursue an M.Sc. Rondeous is IITD fest which is held in October with full of fun, and a lot of activities are there to do. Celebrities are also invited to events. The college campus is in Hauz Khas, and additional benefits to IITD is metro connectivity to the city. All type of goods are available on the campus.

Other: I specifically feel comfortable in chemistry, so I chose this course. If you want to opt for a PhD, you have a wide scope of subject to choose.

You can choose an event in which you want to perform and balance your study accordingly.
