What do people think of IIT Guwahati?

Owing to its unique location, IIT Guwahati is considered infamous among other IITs and there are many rumors regarding it.

• Firstly, it’s located in the North-East part and thus parents of South India don’t deem it right to send their children here.
• Being an earthquake zone, it’s considered a risky place to study.
• Surrounded by mountains, lakes, and trees many people think that IIT Guwahati lacks the much-needed sports facility 
• People think it's not possible to hang out with friends in the city due to the construction of the new bridge across the Brahmaputra.
• People think they won’t be able to enjoy their holidays within the campus though there are many tourist spots a few kilometers from campus like Shillong, Dawki, etc

Most of these assumptions are not true and IIT Guwahati is actually a very good option for Engineering.
