What is the difference btw normal clg and clg which have design and manufacturing tag and what do they diff from normal btech cse core and cse core (in iiitdm)

Hi current iiitdm students, i have a few queries about the campus life and general experiences living in the hostels. this is in reference to BTECH course.

1. How chill is the college? (Free time between classes, dress code, interactions with teachers etc)
2. How often can first years leave the campus, like on weekends to go for outings or to explore the city? it is super hard to get permission?
3. Do we have to go to classes every single day or can we pick our own schedules and choose our own class timings? And can we go to the library to study or work any time we wish?
4. How easy is it to make friends? i mean, what’s the nature of the peer group? i’m sorry if this makes no sense, i know this is highly subjective. i’m a bit of an introvert but i can be social and i’m getting better at talking to people.
5. how is the NON academic life for btech students? parties, fests, sports, clubs..
6. can you visit other people‘s hostels rooms, and can you have friends over to your rooms, or is there too many restrictions on that?

I have no idea abt higher studies or placement so which one should I choose

as far i compared curriculum many source say vit is better for 2030 also idk whether i will go for highers or not and ofcourse iiit has the govt tag and quality peer group and some seniors told there is no coding culture in iiitdmk thats what makes this confusion

i got cse in vit chennai cat-1, and will get iiit cse kancheepuram wat should i choose for good environment ,good placements
