IIT Palakkad - Indian Institute of Technology - [IITPKD]: 10 answered questions

Ques
Why is IIT Pallakkad getting ahead of other new IITs?

● Top Answer By Damini Singh on 04 Mar 21

Ans
Definitely, this is not true. Though IIT-Palakkad is doing good and showing decent growth, it can't be ahead of the old and well-established IITs. Here are the best IITs in terms of different factors. Academics & Research - IIT Hyderabad:  IIT Hyderabad has tie-ups with Japanese universities and companies. The fractal academic system, innovative curriculum, great faculty, and locational advantage of the institute results in a good placement. It is undoubtedly one of the best IITs. Alumni Network - IIT BHU: BHU had a reputation of its own even before it was an IIT. It has a huge alumni network. You will get to meet IIT BHU alumni in top MNCs across the world.  Coding Culture - IIT Patna & IIT Indore:  IIT Patna and IIT Indore have been doing exceptionally well in competitive coding lately. Their performance in programming competitions, GSoC, and other similar events proves that.  Although IIT Palakkad is a decent IIT, it still has a long way to go, before it can be considered as one of the best.

Ques
What should I opt for, mathematics and computing at IIT Dhanbad or computer science at IIT Palakkad?

● Top Answer By Ankit Sengupta on 31 May 21

Ans
You should choose the branch in which you are really interested. Here are a few factors which may help you in choosing.  IIT Palakkad is a fairly new IIT, whereas IIT Dhanbad is an old reputed institute with an extensive alumni network. If you are genuinely interested in Mathematics, then you should definitely go for MnC. I have some friends in CSE at IIT Dhanbad and their curriculum does not cover Mathematical topics much.   IIT Palakkad being a new institute will need time to offer infrastructural facilities at the same level as IIT Dhanbad.  Another thing that you need to note is that MMC is an integrated course with a 5-years duration. While CSE at IIT Palakkad will be a Bachelors’s degree or a dual degree. where you need to study for a minimum of 4 or 5 years.  Hence, it all depends on you which branch you are more interested in and which will be easier for you.

Ques
How are the hostels at IIT Palakkad?

● Top Answer By Anubhav Singh on 04 Mar 21

Ans
There are three hostels in IIT-Palakkad, two are old and one is new.  Old hostels: Rooms: Rooms are spacious enough for 2 with windows and almirah. A study table is also provided. Others: Basic requirements like heater, geyser, etc are provided by the hostel. Availability of water is 24/7. Sports: A Volleyball court is available in front of the hostel. In addition to this two TT tables and an equipped gym are present and usable. You are also free to use the Football/Cricket ground and Basketball court. WiFi: There is no LAN Port in the rooms, but Hi-speed WiFi connections are available. Nigh-life: The hostel food is good and satisfying. The night canteen is open till 12:30 pm and a food court is available till 10:00 pm in the Ahalia Hospital Complex. Thus the issue of night cravings is sorted. New Hostel: The hostel-3 OR H-3 is the latest inclusion in the list of hostels of IIT-Palakkad. This answer would be somewhat the same for both boys and girls. It is beautiful and pretty much seems to me like a dream hostel. Double rooms (spacious and furnished with study table, almirah), attached baths, common room (in the hostel itself) equipped with a huge Smart LED TV. You can watch TV shows, Cricket matches. There are also indoor games like Table Tennis, Carrom, Chess. Common Room is common for both girls and boys and you get to interact with everyone and work together at times. There is a well-equipped gym too in case you care about your physical health and regular Martial Arts Classes by Dr. Swaroop Sahoo and Yoga classes too. There’s a volleyball court as well. Most importantly, it has the Innovation Lab housing 3D printers, CNC Routers, almost anything you need to make a product prototype, from tools to materials, you name it we have it (all open for students), and other labs too. Water coolers (for hot, normal, and cold water), warm water for bathing purposes, and Washing Machines on each floor, all for 24 x 7 (Yeah, people even wash clothes 3 in the morning). There is a SAC Office and hostel manager’s office too. H-3 is home to both boys and girls. There are different sections.  The maintenance of the rooms is on you. You need to clean it, including the bathrooms.
