One of my closest friends is a student of IIIT Guwahati. Through him, I got to know about the institute. Discussed below is a brief overview of the institute. 

Infrastructure:

• The classes have shifted to a new campus for some time now.
• The institute has a fully functional administrative block. Which is also used as a lecture hall, and is air-conditioned, and has proper Wi-Fi connectivity. Only, the ECE labs have faulty AC.
• Freshers are provided with double sharing rooms with attached bathrooms. After the first year, boys and girls are given single rooms. 
• Faculty of IIIT Guwahati get apartments inside the campus.
• The library of IIIT Guwahati is not at all satisfactory. There are books mostly related to course subjects only. Even the overall collection of books is quite less in number.

Food:

• There is no cafeteria inside the new campus. There is a place for coffee and snacks in the administrative block.
• Hostel mess is not at all decent and takes a lot of time in serving food. The catering service providing food, namely South Coast Catering Service, has not improved with time.

Sports:

• There is no separate gym or sports complex inside the campus. A temporary field and volleyball court are there for students.
• The boys’ hostel has TT table and carrom boards, but none such facilities are present in the girls’ hostel.

Campus Activities:

• The cultural-fest Yuvaan is improving with time and with the growth of student-base and funds.
• There is an E-cell that organizes entrepreneurial meets, on a large scale with a huge budget of around 15 crores.
• There are several clubs for dance, movie, music, quiz, literary, and coding inside the campus.

Faculty:

• The department of CSE, ECE, and mathematics have professors who are Ph.D. from IITs, IISc, ISI, and other top universities. HSS department has PhDs from DU, JNU, and IITs.
• There is no separate set of science faculty, so those subjects are taught by IIT Guwahati science professors.

Curriculum:

• The curriculum is excellent and is entirely industry-need-based, mainly focused on research.
• There are changes in the course every year depending upon the present needs. Students are allowed to make suggestions in modification.

Connectivity:

The campus is situated 4 km away from Guwahati airport and 25 km away from the city center. There are weekly bus shuttles, provided by IIIT Guwahati.

Overall, the points above provide a brief scenario about IIIT Guwahati and the conditions of every aspect related to the institute. A student who is a CSE or ECE aspirant can consider IIIT Guwahati as a good choice.
