r/IIT

I’m making this post so that current and former M.Tech students can share their honest placement experiences from their colleges. I think this would really help future aspirants make better decisions and get a realistic idea about the current situation in placements, internships, and research opportunities.

From what I’ve personally observed, M.Tech placements in many IITs are not as great as people outside assume. For example, in my college (IIT BHU), the highest package for an M.Tech student in the EE department was around 15 LPA, and Mechanical was also around the same range.

It would be really helpful if people could comment with:

• College name ,Department ,Placement scenario,do they allow Internship.

This thread could genuinely help a lot of students who are confused during counseling season.

Aspirants you can ask anything related to gate in this thread,i will try to answer

I'm a high school junior building an online tutoring platform that connects college students with high school kids for AP classes, SAT/ACT prep, coding, chess, and advanced math. All sessions are virtual.

Looking for sophomore/junior college students who would want to tutor on the side. Here's how it works:

- You set your own hourly rate

- You keep 80% of every session fee

- I handle all the client matching and scheduling

- Fully flexible, tutor as much or as little as you want

If you're interested, comment below or DM me with:

1. What subjects you'd want to tutor

2. What hourly rate you're looking for

3. Your general availability

No commitment yet, just gauging interest!

For the people graduating from Illinois Institute of Technology or current students, what’s your honest opinion about the school now that you’re near the end of your time here?

If you could go back and redo college all over again, would you still choose IIT, or would you have done things differently?

Personally, I have mixed feelings. Academically, the school definitely pushes students hard, especially in engineering, architecture, and technical majors. The workload is intense, classes are long, and it’s definitely not a typical university experience. I do think IIT produces hardworking and ambitious students, and many people do land jobs after graduation.

At the same time, I feel like there are a lot of issues students don’t fully realize until they attend. Communication between departments can be frustrating, campus life feels isolating at times, dorms and facilities feel outdated, and the budget issues at the school seem noticeable in many areas. It sometimes feels like students are left to figure things out on their own.

I honestly think if I could go back, I would have spent more time comparing schools, financial aid packages, campus culture, and overall student support before making a final decision. I don’t completely regret attending IIT, but I also don’t know if I would choose it again if I had other strong options available.

Curious to hear other graduating students’ honest thoughts and whether you would make the same decision again or not.

I recently got accepted to both uic and ITT. Both offered me basically a full ride minus housing. Just wondering how internships opportunities are different between them and anyone has gone to both and has insite.

I'm willing to pay money for an extra 9:00 a.m. tickets if anybody has some please hit me up.a also for anyone selling tickets please confirm your student email before you claim you have tickets.
