Faculty:
Oh! Don't get intimidated with the new IIT tag. The faculty is pretty superb and students are impressed with the quality teaching. Everyone has a PhD degree as it is mandatory in IITs. Knowledgeable faculty and decent research is what you can expect at the Ropar campus. CS, EE and Mechanical are the 3 disciplines with wide variety of courses like humanities, physics, chemistry, mathematics and other departments are covered. Overall the experience with the teachers is pretty warm and students love the friendly atmosphere.
Crowd:
Just like all the IITs have a 10:1 boy to girl ratio, IIT Ropar is no different. Multicultural society has students from about 22+ states of the country. Educated, aspiring, quality students come to this institute as it is an IIT. Life on campus is too good. Classes, academics, cultural activities, sports, outings, industrial activities are all excellent. IIT Ropar has high learning atmosphere and strong peer competition.
Rankings:
Well, as mentioned before, students claim that this is the best IIT among the new ones. A good performance in the JEE exam can fetch you a seat in Ropar.
Placements and Internships:
The first batch was provided with decent internships and good placements. Both are really picking up as the institute is making its mark and marching forward in every field. Several of the current students have got internships in top notch companies, industries and many are doing internships even from abroad universities. Only the first batch has been placed till now i.e the pioneering batch.
