Tips for freshers

Explore what you would want to pursue after your graduation.  In the first year, there is ample time to explore different paths. If you are interested in  branch change , then focusing solely on it might be a good option too. CPI matters a lot.  You should have a CPI of at least 8. Whatever happens, you should not let it go below 8, and in the worse case below 7. It's not like this should be your goal for the four years here, but just that you should maintain a good CPI, it helps you a LOT. Attend classes and tutorials.  It becomes a lot easier to get a good CPI if you are regular to classes. Sometimes a professor may suddenly fail students having attendance below 75% to create an example for the future batches, so it's always better to attend classes even after knowing professors past behavior. Play a sport or join a club or one of the fests . Explore different clubs but join only one, this is my opinion, you are free to decide for yourself. Join a fest, if you like it, t

Before coming to IIT Guwahati

Reaching Guwahati: Guwahati is well connected by road, rail and air. Trains from all parts of the country are available to reach Guwahati (Visit the  Indian Railways Official website ). There are direct flights from Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. There are direct or connecting flights from Jaipur, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru to Guwahati via Kolkata / Delhi. National Highway 31 connects Guwahati with states of West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand. National Highway 37 connects Guwahati with other major cities of Assam. Guwahati is very well connected with adjoining regions via bus services. Three Bus terminus points, Adabari, Paltan Bazar and ISBT Guwahati, provide bus services to towns and cities in Assam and adjoining states. Some of these services are run by the government agency ASTC, and majority of them are run by private companies.  Upon Reaching Guwahati: From Guwahati Railway Station (GHY): The distance from Guwahati Railway Station (GHY) to IIT Guwahati is about 18 kms.

Comparing different colleges.

This is the general order of colleges:   IIT-Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras - These are the five oldest iits. All of them were established between 1950s to 1960s. They have a wide network of Alumni. And finally they have their own charm. Every college ranking has either of these institutes starting their list. There is clearly no way you can compare these five institutes. The rankings take into account only some of the things and grade the institute on basis of that. So it’s clearly on you (your own priorities) to decide which one of these will be better for you.   IIT-Guwahati, Roorkee- Guwahati was established in 1994 and Roorkee was converted into an iit in 2001(Established in 1847). Both the institutes are doing well and have an amazing campus.   IIT-BHU - Converted to iit in 2008 and was established in 1919. The following colleges can have a different order based on your preferences: ·          BITS Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad – One of the best private insti

How is this branch?

I can’t answer this question. How good is a branch can only be decided by your interests. But if you are open to everything here is a glimpse of the four years out of that branch. Computer Science and Engineering - The most sought after branch. Nobody wants to know anything about this, if they get it, they take it, as simple as that. The course syllabi of every semester- http://iitg.ernet.in/acad/CourseStructure/cseUG2013onwards.htm Mathematics and Computing - This is a 21 st century branch. It is a mixture of Maths, computer and a pinch of economics. It has academic pressure because of the Mathematics part. Placements are usually directed towards the Finance or Consulting corporations. Small batch of students, about 45. If you are quite doubtful about your Mathematics, its better if you take a look at other options.

How is the campus and facilities?

The campus is one of the best in India . It is an amazing peaceful place. Lovely weather. It rains quite often here, one thing you will start loving from beginning. If you are lucky you might get to witness a hailstorm. Everyone at IIT G get's a single seater room. There are ten boys hostel and 2 girls hostel. Hostels will be allotted randomly to fresher’s, which can be changed from 2 nd year if you want. All the hostels have washing machines. Water coolers are on every floor in a hostel. Some hostels have Balcony and those which don’t have one is compensated by more space inside the room (The newer hostels don’t have a Balcony). There is a small Library and a TV room in each hostel. The TV room gets crowded during the cricket and football World cups. There is a stationery shop in each hostel with the facility for printouts and photocopying, where you can find everything you need to buy. And then you have the Khokha market where you can find the rest of the stuff, its

Remember these are statistics of 2015. The trend is that both the OR and CR are decreasing. So keep a substantial margin in your mind. Lastly from this year Design course will not be available from IIT-Advanced rankings. It will be conducted through UCEED.
