IIITH- the best college.

Placements: 100 percent of students who sat for placements got placed. The highest package was 88 LPA. Average was 30 LPA. Minimum was 11 LPA. Recruiting companies are Google, Apple, Goldman Sachs, and Intel. Top roles include assistant project manager, etc. 100 percent of students get internships.

Infrastructure: Best classrooms and hostel rooms. Too good Wi-Fi connectivity. Library has all kinds of books. Mess has very clean and tasty food. Canteens are almost full 24 hours with reasonable prices. Medical facilities like ambulances are always present. Sports and games are compulsory for all students.

Faculty: Faculty is the best of the best in their field of expertise. Teaching quality is top-notch. The curriculum is always changing to keep up with the world's ever-changing needs. Students are made more than industry ready. The semester exams are very hard, and passing is usually 35 to 40 percent.

A place where great minds meet.

Placements: I'm currently in my 2nd year of college. But as far as I know, the placement records are really great, with a record 100% placement in the past few years. The average package of ECE students is 20–22 LPA, while that of CSE students is around 28 LPA. The highest package was around 87 LPA and the lowest was 12 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is pretty good. They have good classrooms and really good facilities at the lab. The college has a great research culture, with a huge chunk of money being invested in research labs. The Wi-Fi facilities are not that good, and the network is not that good. Also, all classrooms are not air-conditioned. The hostels are also pretty good. But there's one issue with hostels, which is drinking water. It has happened many times that drinkable water is not available on many floors. Also, the lift does not work properly and gets stuck many times.

Faculty: The faculty members are really good; they themselves are well qualified from the top institutes in India. Also, they are very helpful and kind in nature; they always help us whenever we approach them. The curriculum is very rigorous and requires a good amount of time to be given to it. Also, we get very little time after doing assignments, which consumes almost all of it.

It is a good college with good teaching and placements but has bad equipment.

Placements: Almost all the students are placed in our course. The highest salary package is around 38 LPA, the lowest is around 12 LPA and the average is around 24 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Google, Microsoft, Texas Instruments, abode, and Goldman Sachs. Almost all got an internship in our course as software engineers and some core jobs.

Infrastructure: We have LAN in the hostel rooms and Wi-Fi is not available at hostels, but available at labs, classrooms, workplaces, and libraries. Hostel rooms are good but washrooms are pretty bad, they are cleaned every day. The mess has four different types of foods available north, south, kadhamb, and yuktahar. Medical facilities are okay, neither good nor bad. Sports facilities in our college are football, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and tennis grounds, but not cricket.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, well qualified and they have very good knowledge in their field except for some. The teaching quality is good. The curriculum is relevant and it makes students industry ready. The difficulty of the semester exams depends upon the courses that are taken in the semester. The pass percentage is about 95%.

Other: I did not get CSE, so I chose ECE, ECE has not had many perks as most of the placements are towards CSE. I wish to improve and have better lab equipment in our college. There is an event called felicity which happens once every year and we have some events based on the festivals. The campus is near DLF so we have better connectivity to all of the city via metro. Extracurricular activities are okay in IIIT Hyderabad.

It has an amazing campus with a relaxed atmosphere. You should work smart from the beginning.

Placements: Except for those considering further studies, everyone who has decided to sit for placements will receive it. The top recruiting company is Texas. The highest salary package offered is 56 LPA, the lowest is 9 LPA, and the average is 30 LPA. About 50% of members will get internships, but most of them will be in the CS field.

Infrastructure: The best facilities are available. LAN spots are provided in hostel rooms. Wi-Fi is available in labs and classrooms. They provide almost all the required books in the library. We have all the required facilities in different kinds of labs. We have four different messes where we can change our registrations every day as per our convenience. We have 2 huge grounds, named "football ground" and "felicity ground." We have separate courts for different sports.

Faculty: Teachers are extremely qualified and knowledgeable. They give the best quality teaching. Exams were extremely difficult. Grading will be done on a relative basis. The majority of students will pass, but due to a few circumstances, some may fail a course and retake it the following year/semester.

It is the best place for those who couldn't get a good rank in JEE advanced.

Placements: Almost everyone with a decent CGPA gets placed with above 25 LPA. I prefer to go into the analog field in ECE. Almost everyone got placed either into software roles, testing, or designer roles. Top recruiting companies include Microsoft, Qualcomm, Google, Texas Instruments etc.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is present in labs, workplaces, library and classrooms but not in rooms. In rooms, there is LAN available. The hostel is good, and mess food is one of the good things. Sports are good enough but not great due to the unavailability of indoor courts.

Faculty: The faculty members are good enough, but for my course, mainly analog in ECE, the curriculum seems quite rushed. The faculty are not of industry standards. The semester exams are of moderate difficulty, and with enough effort, it is easy to get an A. Labs are a great place for one to explore their interest.

Other: I chose ECE because I could not get into CSE, but after I got into this course, I started liking it. Now, I am pursuing my career in the analog field and not any software development. So, the opportunities are present in every branch you take up here.
