How is the condition of hostels in IIT Roorkee?
IIT Roorkee offers the best hostel facilities to first-year students. Their hostels are bigger and better than the hostels of other students. The rooms are usually single or double sharing and are decked with basic amenities.

How is the hostel life at IIT Roorkee?
The hostel life at IIT Roorkee is nothing less than magic as it gives you precious memories that will stay with you forever.
During the initial days, you will have to stand in queues for your food or library cards. The food at the mess will look edible initially but very soon you will start detesting it. It’s advisable to seek constant help from your seniors and maintain good bonds with them.
After a few months you will adapt yourself to the campus and your hostel will become your home away from home. Night outs will become a common occurrence and you will love strolling through the campus the entire day.

Should I take IIIT Allahabad IT for 5 years or IIT Roorkee GPT?
If I leave my biases towards Allahabad as a city aside. I would choose IIT Roorkee over IIIT Allahabad.
Here are some reasons in support of my decision:-
- The IIT brand that gets attached to you is an asset that shall forever remain worthy.
- IIT Roorkee's GPT is an exclusive division that delves into geophysical survey methods and their use.
- Older IITs like Roorkee boast a longer legacy and are highly esteemed for imparting quality Engineering education.
- IIT Roorkee GPT has an Average Package of 14 LPA while IIIT Allahabad IT is at 20 LPA.

How are the placements for M.Tech students in civil engineering in IIT Roorkee?
It’s sad to say but MTech students do not attract very good companies for placements. The companies prefer students with experience. BTech students prepare well in advance either for MBA or coding to get placements in IT or banking companies. MTech students are not allowed to do so and thus are unable to secure good packages.
Now the question arises, what should MTech students do to guarantee a safe career? Well, I will suggest that they prepare for GATE again and clear PSU or some other Engineering service.
You can even enter Academia but the salary packages will also be average. Another option is to go for a Ph.D. but this too has no career prospects. The most guaranteed way is to clear PSU.
