My friend is pursuing Btech from IIT who joined in July 2019 and here’s his experience:

After putting all your efforts in JEE, you will feel it was worth it once you get there.

  • You can choose among so many clubs like Quiz Club, Hobbies Club, TechniC, swimming club, etc. There is definitely one which matches your interests where you can find people with similar interests.
  • Once you start living there, you’ll not want to go home because there is so much you will be missing out on.
  • In the case of faculty, you will mostly find excellent professors but there are some bad ones too just like anywhere else.
  • The people are amazing, someone is always there for your help whenever you need.
