    IIT Fails to Value Its Students

    I would have put zero stars if I could. If you’re considering attending this university, please don’t. This place isn’t even fit to be called a university—it’s more like an overpriced hall tuition class. As a student who experienced the SDGP (Software Development Group Project) module, I found certain aspects extremely frustrating and demotivating. We were scheduled for our viva in the late afternoon but weren’t called in until several hours later. After the long wait, the lecturer barely looked at our reports and gave unexpectedly low marks. It felt careless and disheartening. Several lecturers during the SDGP feedback sessions openly demotivate students instead of offering constructive feedback. Not a single word of encouragement, just criticism. In fact, some staff are downright rude and disrespectful, making students feel insulted rather than guided. One of my friends answered her viva questions quite well despite a minor issue in her coursework, yet she was failed with no valid explanation. Even after paying for an appeal, all she received were vague excuses and no proper resolution.
    I also want to address the appeal process, which feels completely flawed. From what I have learned, when a student submits an appeal, the case is directed back to the relevant module leader, who then consults the very same viva lecturer that graded the student in the first place. This is highly unreasonable—if the appeal is handled by the same people involved in the original decision, how can there ever be fairness or objectivity? WHY ON EARTH IS THERE AN APPEAL IF THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERING CHANGING MARKS EVEN WHEN STUDENTS HAVE STRONG EVIDENCE??? It defeats the entire purpose of offering an appeal process.
    Another friend arrived just a few minutes late for an exam that was officially set to start later, but the exam had already begun earlier than communicated. This kind of mismanagement adds unnecessary stress and reflects poor planning.
    In another case, a student was failed despite giving reasonable answers during her viva, with no clear justification. Now she’s forced to retake the entire subject, which is extremely frustrating and demoralizing.
    The building facilities are inadequate. With only two elevators for a large number of students, they’re constantly overcrowded, causing long delays and daily frustration. There are also no proper sports grounds, clubs, gyms, or entertainment facilities for students. Instead of investing in student welfare, the institute seems focused only on taking money—like gold diggers—while putting up countless new buildings. Government universities are far better in terms of value, facilities, and student support.
    Honestly, I regret enrolling. I strongly urge future students and parents to think twice before investing time and money here. There are better alternatives. Don’t waste your effort, energy, and mental well-being at an institute that doesn’t seem to value its students.
