I would say life changes more after joining IIM Ahmedabad than after graduating from it. The academic workload, strenuous hours, assignments and exams all prepare you for the hectic life ahead. So once you graduate from IIM Ahmedabad you might even welcome the hectic work schedule with amazing salaries. The changes in your life will depend on the field you have chosen.

If you join a big consulting firm or an investment bank or a PE/VC, chances are you will spend more hours in your office than at home.

If you go for a general management role, your life will have a blend of both work and personal time.

If you join a technical firm, then you will experience a casual work culture and a lot of personal time.

Working at e-commerce giants and start ups will limit your chances of a work life balance.

As far as the pay of an IIM Ahmedabad pass out is considered, literally everyone gets paid decently. In fact after a few years you will focus more on your responsibilities than your salary. You have to carry the weight of being an IIM Ahmedabad passout as everyone will have high expectations from you.

KIIT is a massive yet beautiful campus that is divided according to branches of various programs. These are named after famous rivers of India. I will share the first-day experience of my brother who was very excited to get admission here.

As he reached the campus, he was asked to report to the Central Auditorium in Campus 6 and was also given a form to fill up. In the auditorium, a screen displays the roll numbers. Students are expected to go to the table allocated where they are given their ID card and in a small slip an alphanumeric code is written, which is their room number. 

Students are assigned hostels based on the details they filled in earlier. My brother was assigned to Kings’ Palace VII and a bus dropped him off at his hostel. He found a long queue as everyone waited for allotment of their rooms. Students are given time to settle in and bid farewell to their parents which is a very emotional moment. 

The next day, the seniors will take you on a campus tour where you're shown all the campuses, the Auditoriums, the KIIT Stadium, the food courts, the Gym, the swimming pool, etc. After this, the hostel orientation takes place and classes begin in the D block.

By now, you will be assured of the great time you will be spending here!

The food quality is better for girls as compared to boys. Overall, the mess food is decent. You’ll adapt to mess food after some time.

The menu keeps on changing after a month or two. It is finalized after a discussion between the students and the hostel authorities. The students are also given the freedom to change their mess. The breakfast menu comprises items like Poha, Puri Bhaji, Idli, Medu Vada, Aloo Tikki, etc. The menu also contains corn flakes, bread butter/jam, milk, tea and coffee.

Lunch consists of dal, vegetables, rice, roti and curd. Dinner consists of items like Khichdi, Methi Malai Matar, Chole Puri, Aloo-Onion Paratha, Pav Bhaji, Biryani, Vegetables, Dal, Rice, Roti, Salad, etc. Ice cream is served for dinner, but not on a daily basis. 

The mess food tastes best during the initial days/weeks. As time passes by, it starts to feel boring and kind of repetitive. Non vegetarian food is not served in any mess, but eggs might be served if majority students require it. Ice creams, Nimbu Pani and Fruit Salads are included in the menu during summers. 

During festivals, once or twice every semester, special meals are served in the messes. This meal contains some special items like Jalebi-Rabri. From second year onwards for boys, and from first year itself for girls, there is a mess off day for dinner every alternate week, with prior notice. 

Enjoy your SVNIT journey to the fullest, and do not worry much about mess food as it is quite decent.

Other state students might face some major issues at Anna University. Some of them are:

• Language Barrier: Almost everyone in Tamil Nadu converse in their mother tongue. So students from other states might face language issues outside the campus. 

• Climate: Chennai experiences a hot and humid climate throughout the year. The unbearable heat might be a serious issue for someone from a cooler state.

• Food: Although Chennai offers both veg and non-vegetarian, if you are a true North Indian you will definitely miss North Indian food here.

• Metropolitan: Life in Chennai is very fast-paced and can seem overwhelming for anyone. Also the pollution levels are high.

Whether Anna University is good for other state students actually depends on their capability to endure the above factors.
