Which one is the best - IIT Indore, IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Gandhinagar or IIT Jodhpur?

Studied Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (2019)

IIT Indore is the best of all three IITs. It has very good research facilities in comparison to the other institutes and is rapidly improving. Since every other institution mentioned above is an IIT, so, there shall be always better opportunities in comparison to any other Engineering college in India. Also, IIT Bhubaneswar has a very good campus life and teaching faculty. It always stands at par in comparison to old IITs.

NIRF rankings are given to institutes according to the availability of facilities in various fields in the institute by MHRD. Faculty, campus life, and research facilities must be very good for an institute with good NIRF ranking. As Gandhinagar and Bhubaneswar are the capital cities, they lead to better connectivity and other metro facilities. 

Campus life is always peaceful in any IIT since they are constructed in specially chosen places and they grow rapidly and simultaneously with other IITs. But the quality of teaching and the teaching methods vary from one institute to another. IIT- BHU and IIT Indore have their own campus with good hostel facilities while IIT Gandhinagar has its permanent campus but is still under construction. 

The other way of choosing the institution is checking with the JEE advanced cut-off ranks. This would give an insight into the facilities in the institute and quality of the peer group as the quality of the peer group is the most important deciding factor in the selection of a campus.

Will IIT Gandhinagar shortlist the 2nd round of M.Tech students?

M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IITJ) (2019)

No, IIT Gandhinagar does not shortlist candidates from 2nd round of M tech candidates. Also, they don’t provide any waiting list for the same. They keep the seats vacant if anyone does not take admission. Although it is not correct as the seats remain vacant which can be filled by other waiting list candidates and their year will also not get wasted but this is not in our hands.

M.Tech seats are first filled by premium IITs and then the remaining seats by outside students who have qualified GATE. If you enter the college by qualifying GATE then you will be eligible for a scholarship as well. 

The college also conducts its personal test for M.Tech admissions. In which they ask quantitative, reasoning and engineering mathematics. There are no spot admissions as of now. As the college is new more changes are expected in the coming future.

Which college is better, IIT BHU or IIT Gandhinagar?

YD
Yash Dasgupta Posted On : August 14th, 2020
M.Tech BioEngineering Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (2021)

IIT BHU and IIT Gandhinagar both are decent IITs. IIT Gandhinagar has a better NIRF ranking as compared to IIT BHU. Although IIT BHU has a lot of Engineering courses to offer, the overall infrastructure and environment are not as conducive as IIT Gandhinagar. Also, the recent year’s cutoffs are comparably higher for IIT Gandhinagar.

Furthermore, IIT Gandhinagar has a unique and distinctive “Foundation Program” which helps students get acquainted with academic life and college environment. Besides, the faculty of IIT GN is also among the best. On the contrary, there is a shortage of faculty members in many branches (including Civil Engineering) at IIT BHU.

The campus location of IIT Gandhinagar is also comparably better as compared to IIT BHU. It is pertinent to note that the campus of IIT BHU is merged with BHU, which makes the campus a crowded place for students. Also, the placement scenario in both the colleges is almost at the same level.

Although IIT BHU being much older than IIT Gandhinagar, offers a huge alumni base. IIT GN might be considered a new IIT by many, but the progress that it has shown is humongous. It also provides a conducive environment for research scholars and has an overhauled infrastructure (including labs). Both colleges have their pros and cons, so it is hard to choose one institute over the other.

What is the experience like at the summer research internship at IIT Gandhinagar?

AS
Arpita Sinha Posted On : March 2nd, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering & Computer Science, Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (2019)

Studying here my classmates and I have experienced a lot of things, during our summer internship. Four months of research for a particular project at IIT Gandhinagar under Professor Chakraborty were indeed the best days of our life. Don't feel hopeless comparing it with other IITs. This institute, like the rest, includes everything you would require for your course. If you're concerned about the labs, they are photonically sensored proving how advanced they are. Some students were granted 24*7 access. It is advised not to fiddle with any instruments there as, at the end of the day, you're at an IIT.

Nothing matches our experience over here as it was the most excellent time of our life. Also, putting more efforts into everything will show better results. You would have to do the research yourself as your work would be closely observed. In case you'd require guidance somewhere, you'll always have help. If you're there as an intern, you'd not be handed over a big problem. Instead, what comes your way would be a tiny part of the problem. 

Considering my personal experience, I had to examine an idea allotted to me. Succeeding this I was allotted and gained access to the lab. 

We managed to attend a good number of presentations and workshops as, by the time an active semester was on. These workshops and presentations concerned mechanical engineering, chemistry, control theory and sustainable energy. This was the technical and the scientific part of it. 

On the other hand, discussions about Indian card and board games, Indian history of science, short films, etc. were held. The students here are intellectuals and your conversations with them would be unique. You won't feel as if your time has gone in vain, instead you will learn a lot of things. 

Therefore, do grab the opportunity you get to be at IIT Gandhinagar. Don't buy anything that tells you about new IITs, instead, experience it yourself and gather some memories. This institute focuses solely on research. Spending time here is definitely worth it.

How are the standards at IIT Gandhinagar?

DD
Disha Das Posted On : February 24th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (2019)

It would have been much better if the question was specific about what kind of standards. Since it does not specify any, here are all the possible standards to look upon.

  1. Academic Standard: The professors are very good at what they do and are also very engaging and open to discussion. There are two types of grading which are followed- Relative Grading and Absolute Grading. This is decided by the professors for their course and the students are informed before-hand.
  2. Academic Honesty Standard: Cheating is just not acceptable. Take the risk only if you want to fail in the exam. Even though the professors are cordial, they are not lenient in case of academic honesty.
  3. Timing Standard: The professors are punctual and in fact, reach the hall before 5 minutes. So, it is your responsibility to not be late.
  4. Laboratory Standard: The laboratories have all the necessary equipment. There are lab assistants for help. There are also many specialized labs. You can borrow labs at any time for use.
  5. Construction Standard: Except for Lal Minar, all the buildings are low rise buildings and are earthquake-proof. Hostels are neat and clean.
  6. Student Safety Standard: Ragging is a punishable offence and therefore, strict actions are taken against anyone found guilty.
  1. Cleanliness Standard: There are staff to clean the buildings and hostels daily.
  1. Sustainability Standard: For its environmentally friendly design, the institution has bagged many awards. The entire campus design is made with a huge emphasis on sustainability. The hostels are equipped with solar water heaters, electricity for the entire campus is generated through solar panels; to convert biodegradable biomass into biogas, there is a waste treatment plant installed.
  1. Peer Standard: Smart and friendly peer group. Since there are students from all the corners of the country, you will learn a lot about different cultures.

The institution does not differentiate students and thus provides an equal platform for all in its decision-making process.

What should I choose, IIT ROPAR CSE OR IIT GANDHINAGAR CSE OR IIT Roorkee electrical?

DK
Devashish Khanna Posted On : April 15th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (2020)

If I had to choose from IIT Ropar, IIT Gandhinagar, and IIT Roorkee, I would have gone for IIT Ropar. Let’s compare the institutes and their branches individually.

IIT Ropar and IIT Gandhinagar (CS):

  • The CS department of IIT Ropar is much older than the CS department of IIT Gandhinagar.
  • IIT Ropar has 73 seats in CSE while IIT Gandhinagar has only 38, this is why the Closing rank of IIT Gandhinagar was better last year, while the Opening Rank of IIT Ropar is better.
  • IIT Ropar was ranked 22 by NIRF while IIT Gandhinagar was ranked 23.

IIT Ropar CS and IIT Roorkee EE:

  • Those who opt for IIT Roorkee EE will eventually end up in CS and in fact, they will have to invest double the efforts than IIT Rapor CS. 
  • Students who take EE will have to complete an EE course along with studying CS in their free time to prepare for placements.
  • EE students will have to compete with CS students in placements because Software companies will prefer CS or ECE students over EE students.

All in all, IIT Ropar CSE offers better job opportunities, and thus the general preference order looks like 

IIT Ropar CSE >> IIT Roorkee EE >~ IIT GN CSE.
