Good college with best campus life.

Faculty: The teachers in my department were very passionate about the course and also very knowledgeable. All the professors were Ph.D. qualified and knew their stuff. The course curriculum was also relevant as it combined both mechanics with the current ML part making students industry-ready. The semester exams were not easy I’d say but the pass percentage was 30% which was pretty doable.

Absolutely great college with amazing peers and faculty support, IIT Delhi.

The teaching quality depends on the professor, but all of them are highly knowledgeable and experienced and encourage curiosity. The curriculum is a mix of traditional and fundamental knowledge, using them to build onto teaching about modern standards of the industry. The foundational knowledge is evergreen and helps students in the long run. The difficulty of exams varies from course to course, most of t...

IIT Delhi: The average college in India.

Faculty: IIT Delhi's Textile Engineering department has highly qualified, knowledgeable, and committed professors. They make complex topics understandable and help students develop technical skills and analytical thinking. However, the administration, including certain deans and the academic body, can be difficult to deal with. Their strict policies and rigid grading practices can be stressful and affect students' CGPA outcome. Students may feel that there is less flexibility and support for their well-b...

Experience of IIT Delhi 2024.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is 40:1, and the course is quite diverse, helping us learn a lot and take interest in it. Exams happen quite frequently, which are very conceptual and difficult. The course is very relevant. The pass percentage is 90%+ students.

Great college for startups and out of campus life.

Faculty: The teachers are very friendly, but they taught only in English. They are very intelligent and have done a lot of research in their field. The course is about electrical circuits. I believe that it will make students industry-ready because the course theory is followed by experiments. The exams are moderate, and we can easily score good by studying an average of 4 hours a day. Passing percentage is 30%.

Absolutely dissatisfied.

Faculty: Teaching Quality: While the teachers are qualified and knowledgeable, many fail to engage students effectively. Some rely on outdated teaching methods, making lectures monotonous and theoretical, with limited practical insights. Course Curriculum: The curriculum lacks updates to align with industry demands, focusing heavily on traditional topics. Emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and sustainability are either missing or poorly integrated, leaving students underprepared for modern industrial ro...

IIT Delhi - A plethora of opportunities, and really good campus life.

Faculty: Teachers have master's degrees in their subjects. They are qualified and friendly. The course curriculum is very vast which open a plethora of job opportunities. It makes students ready for the industry. Semester exams are a menace, and they are incredibly difficult.

A peek into my college life.

Faculty: Teachers or professors are well-qualified but some of them though have a great amount of knowledge and don't have the proper teaching skills. Course has some courses that make students industry-ready but only the college is not fully responsible for that. Course sometimes feels like it is irrelevant. Course policy is what makes the course easy or hard to some extent. Generally, 95% of students pass the courses.

IIT Delhi has some of the best faculty in chemical engineering as well as other courses in terms of knowledge and experience.

I am fully satisfied, but the academic part is a little over, and you get stressed sometimes.

Faculty: Curriculum instructors are responsible for understanding the course syllabus and learning objectives, and deciding how to pace the material. IIT Delhi courses have three scheduled tests: Minor 1, Minor 2, and Major. The timetable committee determines the schedule for these tests, and classes are suspended during the exam period. Instructors may also add additional tests, quizzes, assignments, and term papers. Communication: IIT Delhi uses Moodle, a web-based tool for communication with students....

Disappointed with the behavior of the college staff.

Faculty: The teachers are very knowledgeable and qualified. But they are not much help to the students. The college faculty members and staff have a little rude behaviour towards the students. Students have to deal with their own situations. Not many curricular activities are conducted apart from studies and lectures.
