Remarks :
I wrote the SAT to get admission into this college. As a foreign national, I am not eligible to join colleges through JEE Mains so writing the SAT was one of my only options which is why I wrote the SAT and joined IIIT as it has a very good name and even I’m from Hyderabad
Course Curriculum Overview :
In a college like IIIT, most students are extremely talented and so because of such peers there are a lot of talented folks whose CGPA will be quite low as the grading is relative and because of this low CGPA, these students are at a disadvantage later in their career as students from smaller colleges will have a higher CGPA because of lesser competition
Internships Opportunities :
Internship opportunites are also pretty good and most students end up with pre placement offers from their internships. But again this is something which the placement committee has a lot of control on and a lot of stuff happens behind the scenes
Placement Experience :
Placements are better than most colleges with majority of the students landing great packages. However, the placement committee and students involved in it are known to abuse their power and a lot of other stuff happens in this regard behind the scenes
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
For people joining through the DASA mode like me, fees is around 14,000 USD per year. For Indian students the fees is much lesser. There is no reservation based on caste. Other fees like mess, hostel etc. got my fees to around Rs. 9 lakhs an year
Campus Life :
There are a lot of clubs and extra curricular activites. However the ground is extremely dangerous and there have been lot of cases of injuries on our ground. Sports infrastructure and support is somethinb which definitely needs improvement
Hostel Facilities :
Mess food is decent but every now and then there are instances of pests and insects found in the food but my experience was decent. The water quality can definitely be improved as there have been several cases of typhoid due to hostel water. Most of us also faced lot of issues without hot water for bathing

A glimpse of MRUH
Placement Experience :
The campus placements are good and there are companies coming in every year for fresh talent but it all comes down to our talent. We are provided with an opportunity but we have to work for it ourselves.
Not so great
Placement Experience :
Placements and Internships The placement opportunities at my college are average, with a limited number of companies visiting the campus every year. Students who maintain a good academic record and possess strong technical and communication skills have better chances of getting placed. Generally, students with no active backlogs and a minimum academic percentage as specified by the recruiting company are eligible to participate in campus placements. A few recruiters visit the college for hiring, mainly for entry-level roles in software, IT support, and core engineering domains. However, the number of offers is limited, and only around 40–50% of students secure campus placements. The average salary package offered ranges from ?3–4 LPA, while the highest package varies depending on the company and the student's performance. The college also encourages students to apply for paid internships, which help them gain practical industry experience and improve their technical skills
Learning, coding, and growing everyday
Placement Experience :
I am still in my second year, so I havent sat for placements yet. But the college starts preparing us early with coding practice, projects, aptitude training, resume building sessions, and mock interviews. FRom interacting with seniors, I have heard that students who stay consistent with their skills get good opportunities
Where learning meets industry
Placement Experience :
One good thing is that placements aren't treated as something that only matters in the final year. From the early semesters we are encouraged to build projects, improve our coding skills, and create a strong resume. That gives us enough time to prepare instead of rushing later. The college also shares internship opportunities and guides students through the application process. There are resume reviews, mock interviews, and career sessions that help us understand what companies expect. I feel the support is there throughout the journey, the more effort you put in, the more you can benefit from these opportunities.
A satisfying learning journey
Placement Experience :
Best part is the college doesn't wait until the final year to talk about careers. We get opportunities to work on projects, improve our coding, build resumes, and attend interview preparation sessions from the early semesters. Internship opportunities are shared regularly and the college guides students through the application process. This has helped me gain practical experience and understand what companies expect.
Learning, growth and great memories
Placement Experience :
From what I have experienced the college starts preparing us for placements much earlier than I expected. We regularly have coding practice, project work, resume reviews, aptitude sessions and mock interviews, so you are improving little by little instead of waiting for the final year. The college also shares internship and job opportunities with students. I feel the support is definitely there but your results depend on how much effort you put into building your skills.
Best memories of my life
Placement Experience :
In our district kamala is the only college with highest placement records .many more MNC are visiting our college and student are getting placed in many companies with highest packages and currently they are leading good lifes
Reasons I chose NIAT
Placement Experience :
Since I am still a student I haven't gone through the final placement season yet. But from what I have seen the college starts preparing us quite early. We have regular coding sessions, aptitude training, mock interviews and resume building workshops. The placement team also shared internship opportunities whenever they are available. I feel the college is more focused on making students job ready than waiting until the final year. If you stay consistent with your coding, projects and overall skills, you will be in a much better position when placement season starts. Overall I think the college provides good support, but students also need to put in their own effort.
College life beyond classroom
Placement Experience :
As a current student I haven't reached the final placement season yet but the college has already started preparing us. We get regular updates about internship opportunities, and many students apply from the early semester itself. Along with that there are sessions on resume writing, aptitude, communication skills and interview preparation. The college also encourages us to build projects and improve our technical skills, which helps while applying for internships. I feel these small efforts throughout the course will make a big difference when placements begun.
A great place to meet like minded people
Course Curriculum Overview :
One important thing I like about the course is that it isn't only about reading books and writing exams. We get to practice what we learn through coding, assignments, and small projects, which makes the subject easier to understand. The syllabus also covers topics that are useful for todays tech industry. The faculty is friendly and easy to talk to. They explain concepts in a simple way, clear doubts without any hesitation, and we are already ready to help if someone is struggling.
