How is the IIIT Vadodara campus?

IIIT Vadodara is an Institute of National Importance. This is a tag for which one should compromise certain facilities and take admission here.

Negative factors:

The college does not have a permanent campus or hostel and does not expect to have it in near future.

• The land allotted by the government for building the permanent campus was farmland. 
• A court case was going on regarding the land issue so the students don't know if it is solved or not.
• Every new batch of the college is assured that they shall be shifted to permanent campus at least in their final year. 
• Ironically, the student doesn't know if the construction of the permanent campus has yet started or not.

The new hostel is about 32 km away from this institute campus.

• The hostel is in a remote place and everything including the hospital, railway station, etc. is too far from there.
• The hostel is mandatory for all, so no student from the next intake shall be allowed to stay on his or her own.
• Hostel facilities are Room on a 3/4 sharing basis, Common bathrooms, Cafeteria, Stationery Shop, Playground, Emergency Vehicle.

The students have a lot of complaints against the administration, especially the registrar. The administration says that they don’t have enough funds for all the stuff that we require. No one knows where all the money goes.

Positive factors:

One might not get a lot of fun stuff in this college, but if your goal is to be a good Computer Science Engineer at the end of four years then this is the place.

• One does not need all the high tech types of equipment which are required in other branches. 
• The student has nothing to do with all the facilities but IIITV has sufficient stuff to fulfil one academic need.
• Currently, IIIT-V only offers CSE & IT courses because of this, it is a good choice for those who aspire to strictly go for the computer branch.
• College also has several amazing clubs and committees that organise several events from time to time.
• Even though travel time from hostel to institute and back is too much, one can easily constructively utilise this time.

Overall, no matter where students go, it completely depends on the students to get the best out of it.
