Student Reviews & Testimonials
Shrutidhar Nirala
Visited IIT Guwahati recently, and I must say — it’s one of the most beautiful and peaceful campuses I’ve ever seen. The moment you enter the main gate, everything changes — the air gets calmer, the surroundings get greener, and the silence starts speaking. The entire campus is nestled between hills and touches the mighty Brahmaputra, giving it a completely serene, almost meditative vibe. Whether you’re here for academics, research, or just a visit — the environment itself inspires focus and inner calm. The infrastructure is excellent, and the campus roads are clean and well-planned. Security and entry management are also well-handled. Walking inside felt less like visiting a college and more like stepping into a place that quietly challenges and nurtures you. Highly recommended for aspirants, visitors, and nature lovers alike.
