my Q

arent both iitm and iitb following similar curriculum

why vast diff in timings ?

1
Manas ·

the source is not so clear about the timings of all the courses in both the IIT's.I think both the IIT's hav different no of degrees to offer. IIT B has more courses and IIT M has less.so the day's allocation is more in IIT B. so in that view the time table is almost justified

yes but then why is there such a huge difference ?

if classes end at 8 pm there will be little time for self study and playing isnt it ?

and if u try counting no of courses offered in the brochure IITM has most no of courses offered !

we cant judge an institute by the no of hrs of teachin.....

There may b slight variation in d syllabus 4 the same course...but the method may b differenr(i mean d approach--like very gud prof in particulr department may take less time to explain things) or the major one may b the no of holidays...I heard that IIT-kgp is giving nearly 10 days hols....for durga pooja...but in IIT-M it is given 1 week durin pongal ....so the total no of workin days may change...On the whole no of working hours will b almost same....

you will not be in class at all the time mentioned.

there can be 2-3 classes someday and 4-5 other day.

like from third year, in mechanical, we had 2-3 hrs maximum class on Friday. So we had 2 and half weekends there

yes i understand that sir

but still if u see the workload at iitb >>> iitm

also a iitkanpurian told me that

iitk is best in academics
iitm abv par in acad
iitb laid back in acad

is that true ?

1
