NRI considering IIIT-H, is the high NRI fee worth it?
Hi guys, I’m an NRI considering applying to IIIT Hyderabad, and I’m trying to understand what the experience is actually like for NRI students.
The NRI fee is significantly higher, so I’d really appreciate honest opinions from current students, alumni, or people who have NRI friends.
A few things I’m particularly curious about:
ROI: Is paying the huge NRI fee actually worth it? How do placements/salaries compare with the overall cost of attendance?
Academics: How intense is the academic workload as an nri? Is it manageable with good time management, or is it genuinely hectic throughout the semester?
NRI students: If you’re an NRI student yourself, how have you been doing academically? And if you have NRI friends at IIIT-H, how are they doing**?**
Culture/social life: Is it difficult for someone coming from abroad to adjust to the campus culture and environment?
Placements: Do NRI students get the same placement opportunities as everyone else? Are there any meaningful differences?
Overall experience: Looking back, would you say IIIT-H was worth the money? Would you choose it again if you had to make the decision today?
It would be really helpful if u guys share your honest opinions.
thank you
