It is very good college, with an exceptionally poor physics department. Computer science department is too good, like the best department in the college. Facilities are good, but some weird restrictions are there. In all, it is a nice and wonderful experience.

An island of green with a handsome helping of modern infrastructure, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, has rightly been judged as India's best Engineering College three years in a row. It is also the highest ranked Engineering College in India worldwide, according to QS. However, contrary to popular belief, getting in is not the end, but only the beginning: Of unfathomable hardships and ridiculous rewards, of late night parties with your best friends and of moments of absolute despair. Academically, a lot of emphasis is put on systematic work and diligence. That being said, you will need to be extremely gifted to fail a course, or even better, an entire year. It has been 1 year since a new academic block has been set up, complete with air conditioned classrooms with 3 types of boards and labs with equipment, the likes of which I had never seen before. The constant growth, in terms of infrastructure that has been going on at IIT, echoes the lofty ambitions of those who inhabit its 800 acre campus. Most of the students are given a room in one of the 13 hostels, with 2 more in the plans of our director. While the living conditions at some hostels are questionable at best, most of the newer ones resemble apartment blocks. I have been extremely fortunate to find myself in the company of my batchmates in the youngest hostel, so young that we were the first batch of B.Tech. students here. If you have always dreamed about living with your friends, IIT Delhi's hostel life is sure to live upto it. The joy of watching the sun rise at 5 on a cool summer morning, from the 9th floor of the tallest building in the area surrounded by friends you live with is one experience I recommend everyone to try. I'd also take this opportunity to address the elephant in the room: the placements and packages. As far as I am aware, both internships and job offers are available in plenty, but not for those for whom getting into IIT was the end of their journey. The money offered ranges from a decent 8,00,000 rupees per year to grand salaries of 40,00,000 and even placements in the United States, Singapore, South Korea and Japan. Internships are organised by our very own Training and Placement Cell, but you can always find an opportunity for yourself; something which nearly half of the the students I work with have done at some point during their 4 year stay. Make sure you don't have any regrets in this regard, because if you belong to a middle-class Indian family, chances are a job at a reputed company has been your dream; and the regular course work is almost never sufficient to get you there. It is time for you to step out of your comfort zone and carve a niche for yourself, among 800 of India's brightest young minds. lastly and very importantly, you are never alone. There will always be someone who likes to paint just a little bit more than he wants a job; someone who could not pass any subject in the first year, someone who suffered a terrible injury that keeps him out of the college team; and someone who hates being forced into IIT. Your seniors have seen and done things most of you would have never imagined, and it is always a good idea to talk to them if you need any help. It is not wrong to feel a certain way, and it is certainly not wrong to have your own opinions. IIT Delhi is one of the few places in India where a helping hand is always around the corner; or in this case, in the room next to yours. So if you make it in, take my advice and don't put your flag down yet. You have only begun exploring what the world has to offer, and trust me, the world is extremely generous to those who are deserving.
