IIT Goa - Indian Institute of Technology

Admission: The teachers at this college are top-notch with degrees from famous universities and lots of teaching experience. The CSE course is really popular here. The exams are super hard, but that's expected at IIT. No way to cheat or copy your way through.

Placement: I go to an IIT where everyone gets placed. The highest package was INR 1.12 crores, which was for an international job. The domestic one was INR 60 lakhs. Top companies like Bosch, Paytm, and Google come for placements. I'm in my first year, so I don't know about internships much, but I heard you can get around INR 30-40k as stipend.

Campus: We don't have our own campus, but we're on the GC campus. Our place has five lecture halls and a little library in a bungalow. The medical and Wi-Fi are good here. The food in the mess is okay, not amazing but not terrible either.

Admission: The teachers at our college are really supportive and knowledgeable. However, I feel like online classes have affected the quality of teaching a bit. They give us hands-on experience with machines and internships help us get fully trained. The exams are tougher than in other colleges, but we learn a lot. Most students do well in their exams, so the pass rate is high.

Placement: In the mechanical engineering program, most students (23 out of 30) went for placements and all of them got a job. Companies like Microsoft, Tata, IFB, Jio, Mentor Graphics, Mathworks, and Sankhya Sutra Labs hired students. The highest salary was 18 LPA and the lowest was 7 LPA. For internships, only 11 out of 34 students got one. One was off-campus. About 32% of students landed an internship.

Campus: The college is small because we don't have our own campus, but it's nice. The classrooms are good, but no AC, only labs have it. The library is small but really helpful. Wi-Fi works well, but sometimes there are issues during power cuts. Hostel rooms are good, and food is decent (3.5/5). There's a canteen nearby run by GECs. Medical help is good, and they take good care of us. For sports, we have a small but fun setup with volleyball, basketball, and badminton courts. There's a big ground called Gymkhana nearby for cricket. We also have an indoor stadium for games like badminton and carrom.

Admission: The teachers here are mostly new, so they don't have much experience yet. But don't worry, they're still great! They're really putting in the effort to make this school awesome. It might take a while, but I think one day we'll see this college up there with the best ones.

Placement: I heard from some seniors that companies from older IITs are hiring from our college, so there's a good chance of getting placed. The placement cell has experienced staff too, which should make it easier to land a job here.

Campus: So, before we were in the GEC hostel, but now we have our own hostel and classrooms at IIT Goa. We're still on the GEC campus, though. They say it might be years before we get our own campus, but for now, we're here at GEC.

Admission: The teachers are awesome and really into their research and projects. Some courses are tough and not very practical for the real world, but a few are super helpful. The exams each semester are really challenging, making it tough to get a high GPA.

Placement: The placement scene here is awesome, with around 90% of students getting placed. The highest package offered was over 1 crore per year, while the lowest was around 20 LPA. We had companies like Texas Instruments, Microsoft, and Code Nation coming in for placements and internships. Different roles were up for grabs, so there was something for everyone.

Campus: The sports gear is awesome, and the food is really good. We don't have a permanent campus yet, but the hostel, labs, and classrooms are top-notch. The library has a nice selection of books and magazines. The medical facilities are great too. Only downside is that the canteen is pretty far from the hostel.

Admission: The teachers are really good at teaching and are well-qualified. The course curriculum prepares us well for jobs. The semesters are not too tough, and the papers are challenging but fair. The faculty gives us plenty of assignments to practice and conducts helpful sessions for each one.

Placement: Most students who applied got good job offers with decent salaries. The highest package was about 34 LPA, while the lowest was around 12 LPA. On average, students got around 16 LPA. Companies like Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, Deloitte, and Sprinkler hire a lot of students. About 60% of students also land internships.

The hostels have good water and security. Food in the mess is healthy and delicious. The canteen food is affordable and tasty. The dispensary has many facilities.

Placement: A lot of students in my batch land internships in big companies with good pay. My roommate even got an internship at Oppo. Everyone in our branch is into coding because it's key to getting a high-paying job.

Campus: The hostel here is awesome! Each room fits two guys or two girls. The classrooms, library, and campus have Wi-Fi. The food in the mess is top-notch, they serve meals four times a day. Love it here!

Admission: The teachers here are really smart and know their stuff. They teach well, and I've learned a lot. At first, this course didn't seem very useful, but now I can see how it's important for getting a job. The semester exams were tough in the beginning, but they get easier as you move on to the later semesters. If you get a CGPA of 7 or higher, you have a good chance of getting a job after you graduate.

Placement: The college offers a high package of around INR 1.12 CR, with the lowest package being about INR 8 LPA. The average package here is around INR 17 LPA, which is pretty good. For my mechanical course, the average package is about INR 15 LPA. The placement rate at IIT Goa is around 98%, which is great. Many companies come here to offer good placement opportunities, as well as internships.

Campus: The mechanical engineering department at IIT Goa has cool labs like the chemistry and physics lab. The hostel facilities are awesome too! They have separate blocks for guys and girls. Each room has two beds, study tables, and all the stuff we need. Love it here!

Admission: Some teachers are really good, but some are not as qualified because there aren't enough of them. They just make do with what they have. The teaching is pretty basic, just following the school system and using projectors. The ratio of teachers to students is about 1 to 6. This year, we finally got some real-life experience in the industry, which was cool. The curriculum is helpful too.

Placement: So far, no one has gotten a job yet. Our batch will be the first to get jobs in 2020. The placement office is still being set up. The college arranged internships for around 30 students, both within the college and outside. Most of the internships didn't pay, though. But they're working on the placement office.

Campus: The campus is still temporary, but we're at the HAI campus. The Wi-Fi here is decent, giving speeds of around 5 to 10 mbps. The labs could be better set up, and not all the equipment we need is here. The medical and classroom facilities are okay, but not great. We've had some issues with interest and classroom stuff. The food in the canteen is pretty good. The hostel rooms are okay, but we're moving to a new hostel this year with better facilities.

Admission: Our professors from IIT Bombay teach us and guide us through our course. They're super helpful and always there for us. They even have special sessions to help clear our doubts. We got to visit some research centers, like the national oceanography research center. It was cool to see the instruments we learned about in class. They want us to interact and explore more, so we can learn on our own. The course curriculum is awesome and lets us dive deep into the subjects. It's a great chance to learn and grow!

Placement: Our first group of students will graduate in 2020, so job placements haven't started yet. But we do have a team for internships and placements all together. We're being guided by IIT Bombay and they're helping us out. Right now, about 40 second-year students out of 85 are going to intern with various professors and companies. We're also getting invites from different places like IIITs, IISER, and other research institutes.

Campus: Our campus is at GEC Goa for now. The new hostel will be ready in July. We have a medical center and rides to nearby hospitals. The lecture hall fits 100 students. Wi-Fi speed is okay, not super fast. We have a football field, cricket nets, badminton court, and a common room with games. We use the gymkhana with GEC. The library has lots of books. Labs are good. Our mess food is tasty, we talk about the menu each month. Rooms fit four of us comfortably. No issues with the building. The hostel secretary looks after everything well.

Admission: The teachers here are really knowledgeable and we can learn a lot from them. They share their life experiences to help us get good jobs. Most teachers are great at explaining things in a way that's easy for students to understand. Their teaching style is really good and makes learning easy.

Placement: A lot of students apply for courses, but there are only a limited number of seats available. About 20% of seats are allocated for my course. I go to ITI College on a scholarship that covers nearly 2 lakhs per year. Big software companies come for campus placements, offering packages around 3 lakhs per year.

Campus: The college facilities are okay, not too bad. They could be better to make newcomers feel more at home. There are lots of resources for playing games and having fun. We spend most of our evenings playing on the playground.
