The shift of the branch from Saharanpur Campus to the Main Campus has been welcomed with great zeal. The current first yearites (soon to be second yearites) find their temporary home in the Chemical Department with a promise to shift more and more facilities from the Saharanpur Campus to the Main Campus. Majority of the first semester courses for all the branches are common. In the second semester, few of the courses are common with the Chemical Engineering students while the rest are majorly conducted by the Chemistry Department or from the Polymer Department in Saharanpur Campus through teleconferencing. The teleconferencing facility is quite functional and good. The students may have to make visits to the Saharanpur Campus 3-5 times a semester. The visits are a relief from the daily routine and are full of treats from the professors there and experiences with high-end laboratory equipment. Due to the ignorance about the shift to main campus, the cutoffs for the branch remain quite low but with an extended lifetime in the main campus, the cutoffs are expected to increase. As for the opportunities, there is wide scope for research internships in the country as well as abroad due to the scarcity of courses with specialization in Polymers at the undergraduate level itself. The professors in the Polymer Department are also happy to help by offering research projects in the institute itself. In the placements, there are a bunch of core jobs up for grabs. Due to a small branch strength, these jobs are easy to land with consistent work towards achieving it from the beginning. - Abhishek Gupta
