in one word, it’s Incredible.
For an M.tech student in IIT, the general academic load is
- 4 subject, 2 labs in 1st semester
- 4 subject, 1 Lab, 1 seminar in 2nd semester
- thesis (2nd year, if you want you can take extra subject)
So, weekly around 24 hours of lectures and lab are there for you. Another 3–4 hours(if you belong to 9+ GPA) of study. Total 30 hours (remaining for other academic activities).
This makes per day 6 hours (Mon to Fri). Generally timing are in between 10 to 5.
here, the academic part ends.
Now, you are totally free after 6 everyday and all weekends…
So, students prefers to play Table tennis, Pool, Chess, Carrom, Basket Ball, Badminton etc. Some prefers gym to maintain fitness.
In night after 10 P.M.( around 8:30–9 most of them goes for dinner and then there are some time for Home/Family),
