Satisfied with the good infrastructure and best placement.
Placements: In our course, the percentage of placement is around 20% from the campus and 90% offline because it's not allowed the coaching industry to come to campus. This is why placement is very low in M.Sc. but we can go for software jobs if you want to, the only thing need is your knowledge.
Infrastructure: Best facilities everything is available within the campus. Everything is good but you will learn something better every day in your college. There is the best faculty and best equipment for labs and research and if you want to go to optical fields choose it.
Faculty: The best faculty in India. Teachers are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable but some professors don't know how to teach because they are involved in deep research. One of our courses advanced quantum mechanics or computational quantum mechanics help me a lot for a better understanding of quantum computing.
Other: I chose M.Sc.Physics' best part is the research in M.Sc. We have to do a lot of experiments but there lag of project work in it. When I try to choose a different project professor does not allow me to do some other experiments. Event Rendezvous is one of the best events in India. Connectivity is extremely good and scholarship is mcm which is 1000rs per month.

Our college is a top class college.
Placements: Around 10% of students were placed in our senior batch the highest package was 12 LPA, the lowest package was 8 LPA, and the average package was 10 LPA. Most students were placed in data scientists or software engineer posts. The core placement was very low. Most students were placed through OCS in the 2nd shift in Jan -Feb.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the hostel is good. All facilities are available and the quality of food is good. They serve a lot of varieties in food, 4 times a day food is provided. The infrastructure of the mess is also good, it is decorated and well furnished. The infrastructure of the course is also good.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, they are always ready to solve your doubts. They are well qualified and most experienced and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is very relevant for research purposes, it does not make students ready for industry. Semester exams are not so difficult but they are well leveled.

Overall great but still it lags in somewhere.
Placements: I am uncertain about the exact percentage, but the number of placements has significantly decreased due to the recession. Additionally, for Masters courses, only a handful of companies participate in on-campus placements, resulting in a lower number of placements. Unfortunately, this year there are no companies offering core placements for Physics students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is exceptional; however, certain hostels lack in certain aspects. IIT Delhi boasts state-of-the-art laboratories and an incredible team of staff members who are extremely supportive. In addition to a football ground, hockey ground, and cricket facilities, there are numerous other sports amenities available. The overall structure of the institute is vast and immense.
Faculty: The faculty members are truly exceptional, and the curriculum design is commendable as well. They excel as top-notch researchers in their respective fields, and although the curriculum may be somewhat arduous and lengthy, we can manage it with sincere discipline and diligent effort.
Other: I like Physics so I chose it.

It is a great place but lockdown makes it less fun.
Placements: In M.Sc physics, 4 students get placed this year. All of them are placed in the IT sector. They get software jobs and nothing related to physics. There is no connection with M.Sc education at IIT. They knew very basic to moderate knowledge of python and coding. The average salary package offered ranges from 10 LPA - 12 LPA.
Infrastructure: It provides clean rooms, tasty and hygienic food, full of butter and ghee and paneer are available. They do not change the menu for months. Rooms are ventilated, and fast Wi-Fi is enabled 24X7. Washing machines are available free of cost. All M.Sc students get a hostel. Hostel and mess are expensive. Almost Rs 35,000 per semester is the fee structure. The initial refundable charges are Rs 15,000, and Rs 8,000 extra for one-time admission to the hostel.
Faculty: Teachers are not good in this college. Their focus is on exams rather than education. Exams are moderate. Scoring more than 8 CGPA is easy. But the semester is for only 3-3.5 months, and students have to study 4-5 courses. Laboratories and projects make everything very difficult.
Other: There is good research going on in the physics department.

I love my college, its infrastructure, and everything about it.
Placements: A good percentage of students passed. The information is not known to me. Google and many other companies came here. The exact information is not available, but students are highly motivated. Research scholars and teaching posts are offered in various colleges, institutions and other academic areas.
Infrastructure: All the necessary facilities are provided, including Wi-Fi, computer labs, classrooms with AC, and a very big library. IITD has ensured to provide every facility to ensure an efficient study here. The hostel and mess food quality is perfectly fine.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified, experienced and knowledgeable, along with interdisciplinary knowledge to motivate other students as well. The course curriculum is relevant. The exams are moderate, and you need to be focused on classes and self-study.
Other: It was nice.

JAM is competitive examination and there is no guarantee that you will get IIT of your choice. Therefore, It is recommended that you opt for MSc Maths at IIT Bhubaneswar and can try to appear in JAM again.
