HELLO ABHISHEK PRANAV KUMAR

Indian Institute Of Information Technology, Design And Manufacturing (IIITDM Kancheepuram) was established in 2007 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. IIITDM is located in Kancheepuram, Chennai.  IIITDM has been approved by AICTE. IIITDM Kancheepuram offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs which focus on IT, design and manufacturing in engineering sectors.

IIITDM, Kancheepuram encourages interactive and educational exchange programs with many reputed and established institutions to provide an informative and globalized environment to its students.

The institute is growing and also is its publicity. The speciality is the design based curriculum which has been implemented only by few colleges across India. To describe “design based” in short, it is the ability to develop products which are more efficient in terms of use, cost, etc

1. Faculty:
   The faculty here are mostly PhD Scholars from IITs. They have good experience in teaching and they work hard as much as the students do to give the students as much exposure as they could. The way they set their question papers show that they are not interested in testing your memory power rather they focus on what you could produce out of what you have learnt.
2. Syllabus:
   The first point to note is that the course offered here is “Computer Engineering” but not “Computer Science & Engineering”. There is not much of a difference but yet there is a twist. The main focus here is on design-centric learning. There are only few colleges across India which are following this. So, for this, you also get to learn a pinch of mechanical and electronic engineering but only as much as you need. There are special design based courses that are included in the syllabus that give you the best basement for becoming an engineer.
3. Coding peer-group:
   You will find a healthy competition among the students here. The continuous assessment procedure here keeps you engaged the whole time in the campus on interesting ways in coding. The assignments and projects are group based which elevate the coding skills of the group together and also group involvement skills in every individual.
4. Examination style:
   Coding examinations here take a day long i.e, approximately 8–9 hours. You are given timely breaks along with lunch. You are allowed to discuss with our peers in the examination if you have a doubt in any code snippet. You will be provided with internet all along the examination time so that you can take any code snippet you want from the internet so that you don’t waste your time in typing small codes and thinking of the algorithm. But yes, the main essence is to find and code the whole algorithm which you cannot find anywhere on the internet. This tell you the level of the examinations held here.

Placements: The placements are improving yearly and because of the design curriculum is attracting many reputed companies. A good student in pace can get a reasonable placement. I am also pasting the link of the institute’s placements page.

The curriculum that you have now looks promising, I think you don’t need to worry too much & focus on just understanding all the courses, score good grades & enjoy the college life mate!!

HOPE IT HELPS

ALL THE BEST
