Faculty: As faculties are very highly educated here but they are more inclined towards research work so they will not teach well but if you want to take job in research oriented thing they are person whom you can contact. They will provide you with ample of opportunities. Infact some teachers do teach goo

IIT Guwahati -brief review

Overall: IIT G has a very good placement,a better College life.As you know ,it has the most beautiful campus among all IITs spread over 700 acres full of lakes and pretty views.Overall the campus so peaceful.What you need?if you are getting best college life,best facilities,best placements along with an "IIT Tag".Now I would like to tell you some demerits,first of you may struggle to understand some subjects due to proffers teaching methods and most of the time you will have to study from you batchmates instead of profs.Overall this is the one of the best engineering College in India,you must consider this if you have a good score in JEE Advanced.

Faculty: Proffesers at IIT Guwahati are at different level.Most of them are very friendly and teaches in a nice way.though some of the profs don't teach with their full potential & you will also get to meet with some rude and frustrated profs but that's a part of college life.You don't need to.worry about studies ,your hostels friends will teach you better than profs.

IIT GUWAHATI REVIEW.
By SATYAM | B.Tech in Chemical Engineering | 2024
February 11, 2024 09:47:33

Overall: So let me describe the overall college experience in breif , the name of the college is itself enough to describe that how the college life will be and how many different experiences a student can gain. be it the hostel facilities , sports facilities or the overall enjoyment parameter , but with all these fun parts comes the academic load .honestly the academics will feel very difficult to manage in the starting months , but as your 1st year will end you will get used to it will have gained enough skills to survive the academic pressure.

Faculty: The faculties here at IIT GUWAHATI are very well qualified in their respective field and are great at their work i.e. research. when it comes to teaching they are decent enough to get the job done. the main learning will take place when you will learn the subject from your friend one day before exams. but not all profs. are like this , some profs. give their best and are really good at teaching the concepts but yeah as i said , these type of profs. are very few in number.

The results of any free IIT JAM mock test you attempted will usually be accessible on the same website or platform where you took the test. You can check your results by doing the following:

  • Check the platform or website:

Return to the website where the mock exam was held if it was one of such sites (such as the platform of a coaching centre or an educational website). Use the login information you used to register to access your account, if you have one. Look for a section that says "My Results," "Test History," or "Dashboard," since these might include your mock test results and feedback.

  • Instant Results:

Results from a lot of free practice exams are available right away. If so, see if your score appeared on the platform immediately after you finished the test.

After you finish the test, some platforms send you an email with your findings. Look for any correspondence on the outcomes of your practice exam in your inbox (and spam folder).

  • Speak with Support:

You can get in touch with the helpdesk or support staff of the website or platform where you took the test if you are unable to locate your results. They ought to be able to help you find your score.

Please let me know if you need help with anything else regarding to the IIT JAM mock test!
