What are the disadvantages of joining IIIT Sri city?

There are few disadvantages of opting for IIIT Sri City. Their secluded location, lack of campus, weak management committee are to name a few. Let us consider each of them to assess if IIIT Sri City is worth opting for or not. 

Isolated location:

On paper, they do mention the location being an industrial city but it's of no benefit for students. 

• There are no good spots to hang out with friends, party, or enjoy. The closest city is Chennai which is 70Kms away. 
• Transportation facilities are also not up to the expectations.

Poor management:

The management committee is one of the biggest drawbacks of IIIT Sri City. Many lab equipment which has been approved by the committee and being funded on paper have never made it into labs. Facilities which they promised during admissions are barely met.

Campus:

Till 2018, there was no permanent campus and even after constructing one, all the necessities are barely met. 

Lack of student participation:

Being in a fairly new college, it's the responsibility of students of the first few batches to participate actively in each and every event, represent the college at higher levels, and give some tough competition in placements. But again due to poor management, students are not well informed about anything which has led to developing disinterest among students.

Attendance:

It is compulsory to have 85% attendance or else you will lose your grades. The other 15% coverup barely 6-8 classes. It is okay to have some restrictions on attendance but 85% is a bit too much. Even those classes in which faculties are absent will be counted in the total number of classes. 

Apart from these, there are few complaints about faculties, internet facilities, cafeteria and many more which are manageable. So, these are few drawbacks of IIIT Sri City which you must consider before joining.
