What are some of the less known facts about IIITM Gwalior?

Firstly, you may know that IIITM Gwalior is the first IIIT to be established by the Government of India by Congress Minister Mr. Scindia and was inaugurated by the MHRD minister Mr. Murli Manohar Joshi. It has nearly 100% faculty members who hold a Ph.D. degree. You may not know even these -

• The former IIITM chairman Dr. MN Buch was awarded Padma Bhushan.
• IIITM G has been constantly rated A+++ and has ranked in the Top 25 among different surveys conducted by the government of India and other private magazines.
• If you plan to study there, you'd get a hostel room to yourself because at IIIT M, every student gets a hostel room for him/herself.
• You can bring anything to the hostel room- be it a washing machine, heater, bikes, AC, etc. Cars however are not allowed.

The scholarship provision is a bit upsetting because it is made available to students from Andhra Pradesh. The website describes scholarships with much finesse and claims to help those in need of the same, however in reality it is not accomplished and those who need it are the ones who are not able to receive it.

The date of arrival of forms, the date of submission, and the procedure of scholarship accessibility are unclear. The merit-cum-means scholarship is awarded to 10 of the first-year students, who are below a certain financial average and have a good JEE Main rank. Some students who have been worthy have suffered because of the mismanagement. All else is good at the institute.
