When I came to IIITD, I was an under-confident girl, with very less exposure. One of the biggest thing that IIITD has given me is the perfect combination of freedom and security, which I could not before in any of the institute. I learnt a lot, and now it has shaped me in such a way that I can now dream of doing different things in life. Thank you IIITD :)

For me, IIIT Delhi has been nothing short of a roller coaster, filled with moments that have shaped not only my intellect but also my resilience. It’s a place where I learned to juggle multiple responsibilities and manage my emotions through the highs and lows, no matter the situation. Coming from a small town in Uttar Pradesh and pursuing my B.Tech at a tier-3 college, joining IIIT-D felt like a dream come true. It opened doors to new realms of technology and connected me with some of the most brilliant minds—both students and professors alike. I have grown immensely, thanks to the unwavering support of extremely talented and dedicated professors. I am especially excited to share that I will soon embark on the next chapter of my journey as a Ph.D. student here. For this, I owe my deepest gratitude to all the professors of IIIT-D for their invaluable guidance, with special thanks to my guide and soon-to-be Ph.D. mentor, Dr. N. Arul Murugan Sir, for believing in me and supporting me at every step. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the constant love and support of my parents and guardians, who have been my pillars of strength throughout. Lastly, my heartfelt thanks to one very special friend who has always stood by my side, encouraging me to keep pushing forward, no matter how tough things got.

My journey at IIIT Delhi has been nothing short of transformative. From the moment I stepped onto campus, I was welcomed into a vibrant community that encouraged curiosity and innovation. The faculty at the Department of Mathematics has always been very supportive and encouraging. The late-night study sessions, collaborative projects, and friendships forged in the heat of deadlines defined my experience here. Overcoming challenges, both academically and personally, taught me resilience and adaptability, shaping me into a more confident individual. I thoroughly enjoyed my hostel stay in the campus and my sports and yoga sessions. The hostel management staff, our yoga instructor Mr. Ajay Saxena, coaches and friends made me feel at a home away from home. As I approach convocation, I am filled with gratitude for the memories and the invaluable lessons that will guide me into the future.

My time at IIITD has been truly unforgettable. I've experienced everything from online classes to traditional in-person learning. The first four semesters were conducted online, which made initial interactions a bit challenging, but I managed to overcome that obstacle. In those early days of college, I focused on figuring things out, pushing my limits, and making new friends. Starting from the fifth semester, classes transitioned back to offline mode, and I discovered just how much more enjoyable in-person college life could be, even as a day scholar. I was thrilled to find a quick route from Harkesh Nagar Okhla metro station to campus. My metro rides took about an hour each way, but I rarely arrived late for class. I often got to campus early, sometimes an hour before morning lectures, enjoying the serene atmosphere. During those quiet moments, I loved capturing the beauty of the campus on my phone. I noticed that attending classes regularly positively impacted my grades. It became clear that I needed to go the extra mile to excel, so I aimed to add a unique touch to my assignments. I took some fascinating courses in game design and ergonomics, among others. Time flew by, and before I knew it, I was in my eighth semester. This summary barely scratches the surface of my emotions and experiences. What I’ll cherish most are the friendships I formed, the lessons I learned, and the countless stories I gathered along the way.

First of all, I think this would be very small feedback owing to the amount of experiences IIITD gave me, but would like to close it shortly. Things started out, when we all were packed inside our homes because of corona pandemic, and we were onboarded into college completely online. Everything was good, the management staff, councils, coordinators of various clubs and societies or the whole fraternity in general, but things started getting worse when the academic session started. Since I was a very introvert child, I was not able to make much friends or able to connect with my peers in the online mode. Because of this, I faced many backlashes, ranging from getting bad grades(because others were discussing and cheating in groups) to having no interest in societies where internal nepotism goes(a perception, may not be true). Because of this, I faced many setbacks like no internship during the commencement of the 3rd year and getting a placement offer from an A grade company and that also in the very end of the whole academic timeline. But all these situations, made me realize that it's you and your own choices that makes your personality, and one must not compromise with it, no matter how badly others would treat you or want to destroy it.

Although the journey wasn’t easy, I’m grateful for every experience, as each one taught me valuable lessons. I also made valuable friendships that supported me through challenges and made this time even more memorable. Meeting tight deadlines, working on assignments, and managing multiple projects taught me how to stay organized, prioritize tasks, and handle pressure. These challenges helped me build problem-solving and time-management skills that I know will be valuable in the future. As the upcoming convocation approaches, I am excited and proud to celebrate this milestone. It's a time to look back on all the hard work and look forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.

IIITD showed me what’s my own potential. It made me to rethink what Iam capable of which was more then what u imagined. It also reached me how can you both enjoy the journey and at the same time without diluting the core focus of carrier by proper time management and scheduling. Learned and enjoyed a lot from iiitd. From the last candidate of MTech spot round to get placed in 2nd company (ibm logic design). It have me the proper environment to grow my skills. Thanks to all the professor. I developed my communication skills too. From a south to Delhi without a proper language knowledge, I travelled there. It’s showed me the new world Which I haven’t seen before.

When I first stepped onto the campus of IIIT-Delhi, I felt both excitement and nervous anticipation. I had heard countless stories about its academic rigor, its culture of innovation, and the freedom it gave students to explore beyond textbooks. But living it has been a journey that reshaped how I think, learn, and grow. The first semester hit like a storm — algorithms, discrete mathematics, and coding labs all at once. But what stood out wasn’t the difficulty; it was the approach. Professors at IIITD never told us to memorize formulas — they taught us to ask why something works. I remember struggling through a project in Data Structures, only to have a TA guide me not by giving the answer but by nudging me toward the logic I was missing. That moment taught me how to think like an engineer. Beyond academics, IIITD gave me a playground of opportunities. I joined hackathons, worked on open-source projects, and collaborated with peers who were just as passionate about technology as I was. Late nights in the innovation lab, debugging with friends, and debating over whether to use recursion or iteration became some of my fondest memories. What really defines IIITD, though, is its people. Faculty members who genuinely care about your growth, seniors who mentor you through internships, and friends who push you to aim higher — it’s a community built on curiosity and collaboration. By the time I reached my final year, I realized that IIITD had taught me something far beyond coding — it had instilled a mindset. A mindset to keep learning, to challenge assumptions, and to innovate responsibly. My journey at IIIT-Delhi wasn’t just about earning a degree; it was about discovering who I am and who I want to become.

My journey at IIIT Delhi has been nothing short of transformative — a blend of intense academics, vibrant campus life, and countless learning experiences that shaped me both personally and professionally. From the very first semester, the academic rigor pushed me to think critically and solve problems creatively. The collaborative environment and constant support from peers and professors helped me grow not just as a student, but as an individual ready to face challenges beyond the classroom. Beyond academics, IIITD became a place where I discovered my love for leadership and event management. Being deeply involved in organizing Odyssey, our cultural fest, and serving as its Treasurer and Sponsorship Lead, gave me the opportunity to work with diverse teams, manage large-scale events, and bring creative ideas to life. Watching Odyssey evolve into one of the most awaited college fests and being part of its journey has been one of my most fulfilling experiences. From late-night project discussions and hackathons to unforgettable cultural nights and friendships that will last a lifetime — IIIT Delhi has been a home where I learned, led, and grew. It’s a place that taught me balance — between academics and passion, precision and creativity, ambition and humility.

When I came to IIIT Delhi, I didn’t even know about Machine Learning. But I took a course under Anubha Gupta, and she taught me very well. Her NPTEL lectures helped me a lot. In my first semester, I struggled a lot because my foundation was weak. I wasn’t able to perform even at an average level in courses like Grad, OOPD. I was struggling, but still learning. Somehow, I managed to cope up. One girl became my best friend - we usually studied together, continuously improving. With my friend’s support, I managed to handle everything and achieved a 7.35 CGPA. During the placement session, very few companies came. I even reached the last round of Amazon Applied Science, but the company didn’t select anyone. I kept applying off-campus and eventually got a job at Sigmatic.ai as an AI Engineer. IIIT Delhi is the best college, but survival here is tough. The placement team is not very good - they struggle to find new companies when their regular hiring partners slow down, and they also don’t take full responsibility for student placement.

To call my journey at IIITD a rollercoaster ride would be an understatement. It was an adventurous path where I made many mistakes, but each of those mistakes became lessons—lessons not only about academics, but also about life, second chances, and the strength to rise after every fall. Countless sleepless nights spent on assignments and exam preparation have left me with awakenings that will last a lifetime. To an outsider, this phase of my life might appear like a downfall, but in reality, it was a blessing in disguise. Being surrounded by people driven with ambition and passion gave me endless opportunities to learn, reflect, and grow. I may not have always performed well, I may have faltered at times, but I truly lived every moment of my college years. The life lessons I carry today are far more valuable than any lecture or project. What made IIITD truly special was its unique approach to teaching—the comprehensive outlook, practical learning methods, and the freedom to choose courses and domains gave me a sense of empowerment that shaped my journey. As I bid farewell, I leave with cherished memories, lifelong friendships, and invaluable lessons. Thank you, IIITD—my alma mater. Forever indebted.

Joining IIIT Delhi wasn't planned, but it turned out to be a transformative experience. In 1.5 years, I met incredible professors, learned industry-level skills, and connected with peers from all over India. A key moment was when I scored below average in my VLSI mid-semester exam—something I’d never faced before. Instead of giving up, I worked harder, improved my approach, and ended up scoring a 9 in the final. That taught me resilience and the value of persistence. This journey taught me to stay calm under pressure and keep moving forward no matter the challenge. Exposure to diverse cultures and perspectives expanded my thinking and boosted my confidence and communication skills. I learned that “whatever isn’t broken can be fixed,” and that hope and hard work can turn things around. IIIT Delhi didn’t just shape my career—it shaped who I am today. I'm really looking forward to the convocation—reuniting with friends, sharing stories, our struggles, and celebrating everything we’ve achieved together. Can’t wait for those tea-time chats at the “tapri” with my batchmates!

My journey at IIIT-Delhi has been full of ups and downs that helped me grow both personally and professionally. At times, I was frustrated by hectic deadlines and competition, but gradually I learned how to handle pressure and stay focused. In this process, I found a few genuine friends who made college life lighter and taught me the value of real connections in a competitive world. I also gained industry exposure that gave me a clear idea of how the VLSI world actually works beyond textbooks. These experiences built my technical foundation, confidence, and resilience, shaping me into who I am today. I’m deeply thankful to Dr. Anuj Sir and Dr. Sneh Saurabh Sir for their constant support and mentorship throughout this journey.
