Hello all, Many of you probably already have an idea of whether you'll be joining IIT Mandi or not.

Throughout the counselling process, I've seen a lot of freshers asking questions in the counselling group, and I genuinely appreciate that. It's always a good idea to ask questions and gather as much information as possible before making such an important decision.

That said, I also believe there are many students who still hesitate to ask questions in the WhatsApp group because they're afraid of being judged and that's completely normal coming after the long and exhausting JEE journey.

This post is for those people.

If you have any doubts about IIT Mandi—academics, hostels, campus life, clubs, seniors, placements, or anything else you can ask them, We'll make sure your identity remains anonymous. I'll do my best to get your questions answered, either by myself or by reaching out to the right people.

Feel free to ask away!

P.S. Please do not ask/answer anything which might doxx someone's identity or any hate or offensive thing targeted towards anyone.
