IIIT Kottayam is one of the finest engineering colleges in South India. You can compare the placement statistics of IIIT Kottayam with the new IIITs and see how it fares better than others. Even during its first placement drive in 2019, many big companies like NISSAN, L&T, and Reliance(JIO) recruited students.
The packages offered by companies like NISSAN were in the range of 6 Lakh-10 Lakh. These numbers portray how well the institute performed even during the first placement drive which the other new IIITs failed to do. Currently, the placement scenario at IIIT Kottayam is at par with most old NITs.
The institute has a great coding culture that is at par with old IIITs like IIIT Allahabad, Gwalior, and some NITs. You will be amazed to know that more than 70% of students cleared the initial round of CODE JAM conducted by Google. Another aspect that makes IIIT Kottayam stand out among other IIITs is its permanent campus which many new IIITs lack.

How is the social life of students of IIIT Kottayam and IIIT Bhopal, and where do they chill out during weekends?
My friend is currently studying at IIIT Bhopal and they usually get loads of assignments and projects which keep them really busy. All the IIITs are quite known for their hectic routine and getting 8 hours of sleep daily also becomes a chilling session at times.
Although you may not experience a super-happening college life which is often shown in movies. But you can still find good friends and enjoy the peaceful environment there at the campus.
However, my friend has listed some weekend chilling options you might want to know:
- You can head to DB City Mall, New Market for shopping.
- The advantage of being at IIIT Bhopal is you also get exposure to places like Lalghati, Jain Mandir, and Karond.
- Also, they now have a Training and Placement cell of MANIT where you can chill more often.
At the end of the day, engineering is never easy and always has a packed schedule. It all depends on how you manage to keep studies and enjoyment balanced without compromising in either of them.
