How many hours does one have to devote to study in IIIT Delhi?

On average, a student at IIIT Delhi needs around 59 hours per week to study and get decent marks. On campus, they are expected to devote 24 hours per week to their academics which is roughly 5 hours a day. 

• Here the schedule is quite hectic. Every course you take has 3 hours of lectures a week and you have to choose 5 such courses a semester. This equals 15 hours/week of lectures. 
• In the 1st 2 years, 2-3 courses have labs and tutorials which are both 1.5 hours a week. Even if all 3 courses have both these the duration will be 9 hours/week of practicals and tutorials.
• The remaining time is 26 hours/week with less than 4 hours a day. Moreover, you will be spending 6 hrs a week on assignment completion/quiz preparation. So almost 18 hours a week will be devoted to that.
• The remaining 8 hours/week will be spent either on projects.

Such a tight schedule might be overwhelming initially but the pressure decreases as the semesters pass.
