READ COMPLETELY ! A HONEST AND COMPLETE REVIEW by an ALUMNUS !
IIITDM is mix of great academics (excellent students and faculty !) and WORST administration !
Admin staff should be recruited seperatly for smoother functioning rather than dumping admin responsibilities on the professors who try to impose their rules of living. You get to interact with arrogant security guards. Campus life has only DEGRADED in the past 4 years. Most of the faculty involved in the administration only try to stall the student related activities , fests. This is run by a Double tongued director who shows his expertise during student meetings/discussions. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A PROBLEM/NOR REPORT ONE AT IIITDM !
Majority of the office staff are good and co-operative. But the profs like Dr.Sadagopan and Dr.Sivaselvan come into play and make things worse. I never understand why one has to obtain permissions from these two seperately after people contact the concerned person incharge of the technical and cultural activities. Please refrain from all the admin activities related to the students.We saw how things degraded. You take up additional responsibilities , only end up blackmailing the students about credits , screwing their grades when they report any issues.
Try to resolve the issues , else assign them to concerned person and just forget about them.
I feel lucky to have graduated before things got worse in the campus.
I FEEL SAD TO HATE THIS INSTITUTE WHICH GAVE ME THE BEST MEMORIES OF MY LIFE TILL DATE ! , BUT ITS UTTERLY DISGUSTING THE WAY PEOPLE GET TREATED IN THE CAMPUS , EVEN THE ALUMNI !
My dear juniors ,
IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS IN THE OPPOSITE GENDER , JUST BE CAREFUL ! INFORM YOUR PARENTS IN ADVANCE TO IGNORE ANY LETTERS FROM IIITDM WHICH EXAGGERATE THAT YOU ARE MISBEHAVING IN THE CAMPUS OR SPENDING TIME WITH A PERSON OF THE OPPOSITE GENDER. YOU OFTEN GET STALKED BY THE SECURITY GUARDS , WHO ACTUALLY BEHAVE LIKE MONARCHS. SOME PEOPLE in IIITDM ARE REALLY JOBLESS AT TIMES !
THE DIRECTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD FOCUS ON better PLACEMENTS , ALUMNI ASSOCIATION AND INDUSTRY EXPOSURE RATHER THAN IMPOSING ASHRAM RULES AND BLOCKING MAIL ID'S WHEN AN ISSUE GETS REPORTED. YOU SOW THE SEEDS OF HATRED TOWARDS THE INSTITUTE IN THE STUDENTS , WHICH YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO.
**FOR THE PEOPLE ASPIRING TO JOIN this so called INSTITUTE OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE that ONLY has state of art academics, infrastructure and being run by freak personals with a worst administration , please keep all the above things in mind. Parents , please make sure you don't get freaked out seeing kiddo messages/letters from institute. You will definitely get to know about your kids if the issue is severe.
People currently in the campus , i pity you all. Hope you guys pass out with loads of memories and scale to a greater heights.
Hope things change in the campus.
The only pros : You shall study along with some of the best brains. The academics , facilities , infrastructure is great. Profs are co-operative . supportive and interacting. These are some of the attributes that an Institute of National Importance should possess. I don't think these are extra's offered by the institute.
** The 4 star reviews and 5 star reviews that you see are from the current students. They do know the truth and they don't want to get screwed up by writing the truth in the reviews.
** Detailed reviews that you find here are from the alumni and they actually reveal the other side of the institute. All the aspirants and parents should keep all these in mind !!!!
THESE ARE NO SWEEPING STATEMENTS ,THESE ARE FACTS !
- FROM AN ALMA MATTER WHO FEELS SAD AT THE CURRENT PLIGHT OF IIITDM , WHOSE LOVE FOR IIITDM IS NO LONGER THE SAME :(
I request the current students/my fellow IIIT batchmates/alumni to hit the 'Helpful' button if you have faced any of the above mentioned situations in the campus. It might help others !
