IIT Delhi Textile department is still in its infancy and unfortunately, is one of the least demanded branches. The scope and opportunities offered are meager. To put it rightly, it does not do justice to the brand name of IIT Delhi.

• During the orientation itself, it’s revealed how almost the entire batch wants to get their branch changed eventually
• The department is located far away from the main campus and other major departments and this segregation is quite demotivating 
• The course material is not up to the standards of IIT Delhi and the tremendous coursework just adds to the misery 
• The students mug up the concepts mostly rather than understanding them 
• The lab work is monotonous and the research opportunities are limited
• The teachers are extremely retarded investing zero effort in increasing the quality of teaching or making it more lively 
• Most importantly, the placement scenario of this department is pathetic with no good company ready to recruit students for this branch

Many people think that this branch might somehow open opportunities for them if they involve themselves in extracurricular activities and so but then the entire purpose of the department is negated. Still, for the most desperate, this might be the only option. So, it’s advisable to go to this branch only if it’s the last option you have.
