Key highlights:
- The curriculum of IIIT Bhopal is moderate and better than the academics of most NITs, but not as good as some excellent IIITs.
- Most classes of IIIT Bhopal are taken by faculties of MANIT, except the core subjects, which are usually taken by IIIT faculties. The core faculties of IIIT are not that good, but MANIT professors who give lectures in IIIT Bhopal are excellent and quite helpful.
- MANIT organizes many events throughout the year in which IIIT students are allowed to take part. But, IIIT students cannot be a part of the clubs of MANIT.
- The hostel of IIIT Bhopal is a major drawback. It doesn’t have a hostel, and students have to reside in the hostel of RGPV. Those hostels are quite miserable and lack basic facilities like clean drinking water, first aid, proper food, almirah, etc. There is no proper transportation from the hostel to the institute. It is better to take a private hostel or paying guests near MANIT, rather than taking the RGPV hostel.
- Although there are some problems in IIIT Bhopal, there are several positives of being in the institute too. Students of IIIT Bhopal have participated in the technical fest of IIT Kanpur, and have excelled in many events.
- Students of IIIT Bhopal are quite good in almost all factors, with the exception of a few obsessive students which every institute has. Both in studies and extracurricular activities, IIIT Bhopal students are quite capable.
Considering the above factors, there are several positives and negatives of being in IIIT Bhopal. But, being a newer institute, it is quite good, and students usually have good reviews of fun and enjoyment, being in the institute.
