Hey Everyone !A brief Intro about me - I am currently a second year ECE student at IIIT Allahabad. I’m from Allahabad only, so I knew about IIIT Allahabad since my childhood. After my JEE Main, I chose IIIT Allahabad ECE branch, as that was the best college and branch combination that I could have got from my JEE Main rank last year.So, I’ll be talking about all the campus life, current academic pattern, societies - Technical and Cultural, College Fests etc. Therefore, this will be a really long answer but worth a read if you want to opt for IIIT Allahabad for your engineering career.But This answer is not for newcomers only, everyone who’s been a part of IIIT Allahabad currently or in the past can go with this.So, Let’s get Started !!!Welcome to IIIT Allahabad, one of the best government colleges that you can get through JEE Main.Reaching IIIT Allahabad - The IIITA campus is located at Devghat Jhalwa (Peepalgaon Road), which is on the outskirts of Allahabad. It is 10 km from the town center, 7 km from the main railway station and about 3-4 km from Allahabad (Bamrauli) Airport.The Allahabad city is well connected by air, rail and road to nearby metros.Railway services to this city from all the megacities of the country are excellent and quite comfortable.Main Entrance Gate (Gate No. 2) :(Image Source : Google)Campus TourLet’s start the campus tour from the Boy’s Hostel for first year students, which was built recently and is the biggest and best of all 5 boys hostels.Here is a view from freshers hostel (BH-5) top floor :First year boys live in BH-5 hostel, which is a separate building from the other 4 boys hostel. BH-5 is exactly opposite to the main entrance gate of college. Here are few pictures of BH-5 hostel :Outer ViewInside ViewMessRoomThat’s my room during my first year in BH-5: 5304 (Hostel 5 - 3rd floor - 04th room , in case you want to know naming convention :P ), other rooms are almost similar to this. Most first year students are provided with 2-sharing rooms, however there are single rooms as well. One may opt for them (costs 2x more than double room) or few students that come slightly late, i.e., after CSAB Special Rounds are given single rooms if all double occupancy rooms are assigned (they don’t have to pay extra for a single room).There is a gym too inside BH-5 just above the mess on the first floor, in case anyone wants to use it. Timings are 6-8 in morning and 6–9 in evening, as far as I know.Night Canteen - The real savior in college !BH-5 has its own night canteen.For BH-1 to BH-4, there’s a night canteen in BH-2 and BH-4. All four hostels are located inside a single premise, so 2 night canteens does the job. Also, BH-2 night canteen is the best, in case anyone wants to know :) .Further, there are few snacks & food shops like King’s, Malik and Delicious that come to rescue in case you don’t like night canteen food or want to try something new.(Note - I don’t have any images for other hostels (BH-1 to BH-4) rooms, as my first year is not fully completed in college (thanks to COVID-19). I’ll update this answer with more images when things get back to normal and I shift to 2nd year hostel.)Here’s a short summary though of how students are divided into 5 hostel (for freshers- BH-5 is fixed; other senior students, hostels may vary depending on batch and branch strength. So it is just rough analysis just to give a brief idea) :BH-5 : for 1st year B.Tech boys. Also first year Ph.D, M.Tech and MBA students live in BH-5 (5th and 6th floor mainly).BH-4 : for 2nd year ECE boys and some IT boys, if BH-2 is fully occupied.BH-2 : for 2nd year IT boys.BH-3 : for 3rd and 4th year IT boys.BH-1 : for 3rd and 4th year ECE boys and seniors of M.Tech, Ph.D and Dual Degree.Coming to the Girl’s Hostels : (Thanks to Ananya Agarwal for providing info and pictures for first year’s girls hostel)First of all, the rules and restrictions for Girls Hostel :Timings for being inside the campus is flexible - for first month, in-time for hostel is 10 PM. After that, there is no restrictions in roaming/staying inside campus.For going out of college - Girls has to write an application to caretaker to inform them. In-time is 8 PM. Consequences of being late depends on Caretaker/Warden mood. For first year girls, they have to arrange for an approval mail from their parents for permission.There are 3 Girls Hostels, inside the campus (The distribution mentioned here is fixed and unlike boys hostel, it doesn’t depend on branch or batch, as far as I know) :GH1 - For M.Tech & Ph.D Girls (single occupancy)GH2 - For 1st year B.Tech girls (double occupancy)GH3 - For 2nd year Girls (double occupancy) and 3rd, 4th year girls (single occupancy)Here are Few Pictures of GH-2Outer ViewInside ViewRoomMessThere is only one common mess for all three girls hostel in GH3.There is also a gym for girls in GH3, in case anyone wants to use it. Timings are similar to BH5 gym timings that I mentioned above.(Gym in BH5 is kinda similar to this only, so boys can also take this pictures as reference)There is also a Night Canteen for Girls too.Now moving to the campus, There are few main buildings one must know :Main Admin BuildingFront ViewBack ViewThe building can be broadly divided into 3 wings -Left Wing - It has mainly the Council of Wardens (COW) office and DUGC office.Central Wing - It has the board room and admin auditorium where all the important college meetings and official presentations take place.Right Wing - It has the Admission, Assessment & Award (AAA) department office and finance office.Main AuditoriumThere are 3 buildings for conducting classes and labs in Campus - CC1, CC2, CC3.CC1 - Here, most of the advanced labs for ECE Department are located like Electronic Workshop Lab, SMT Lab, Microwave Lab, VLSI Lab, Robotics Lab etc. (as far as I know; Correct me if you are from IIITA). Also, most ECE and Robotics department professor’s offices are in CC1.CC2 - The New Gen IEDC Lab is located in CC2, where student can work on their Start-Up Idea and Projects under College Guidance. Innovative and Great projects/ideas are approved and funded by college after presentation (as far as I know). I haven’t been there for any class or lab in my first year, so don’t know much about it.CC3 - Here, most of our classes and lab goes on during the first year. Also the computer labs in CC3, are open for all students 24x7.CC3Class in CC3 looks like -View from CC3 5th floor :Also there is a Lecture Theater, where most of the Management Studies classes take place.LibraryInside View of LibraryThen we have the Main Campus GroundAlso, There is a Clock Tower in IIIT Allahabad whose construction was finished recently.(Image Source : Google Maps)There is an Students Activity Center (SAC) where rooms of all cultural clubs are there and also there’s a gym, table tennis room and billiards/snooker room for recreation purposes.Also, We have Amul and Nescafé outlet on campus, apart from a few other shops like Old Canteen, a stationary shop, a fruits and juice shop etc.There is a Cafeteria in college, but it’s tender is not renewed for the last 1–2 years. So, it has been temporarily closed since then. :(We also have a Health Center and NCC Office within campus.For other sports, there is a basketball court, tennis court and swimming pool, apart from the main ground.For stuff like Xerox, print out, etc. there are many shops just outside Gate-4 (just besides CC3) in Jhalwa market.Here are few more college images :Pavilion (Main Ground)Rock Garden (in front of Main Admin building)CC-3(These 5 Images are taken from Thunderbolt AMS Album - EXPLORACION'19, a campus photography contest organized by College Photography Society last year. You can check out them for more images here - EXPLORACION'19 | Facebook)IIIT Allahabad Tower (Water Tank)CC3 Side ViewTemple in CollegeFaculty Area RoadSmall Ground (in front of Clock Tower)Campus LifeStarting from the academics, the pattern followed here is IIIT Allahabad is slightly different than most colleges. Here we have CCLCAA Ordinance which refers to the Credit Based Continuous Assessment and Award Ordinance of IIIT Allahabad for B. Tech and M. Tech. Each semester is divided into 3 components C1, C2 and C3. We are evaluated continuously over the course of the semester through multiple assignments, group assignments, labs, quizzes, viva etc. So it is slightly hectic initially but you’ll get used to it eventually (It’s even more hectic if you are the only studious guy of the group, so it’s your responsibility to complete group assignments). Now coming to exams,C1 - has a weightage of 30% of semester marks. It is kinda like the mid semester exams but the weightage of the exam is about half of the total marks of C1 (about 15 marks of 30). Rest 15 marks are given from Lab evaluation, assignments, viva, quizzes taken before exam. Duration of the C1 period is about 8 weeks. Half of the syllabus of the semester is covered in C1.C2 - has a weightage of 30% of semester marks. It is like the pre end semester exams, as It happens just 2 weeks before C3 exams. Evaluation procedure is similar to C1. Duration is also about 7-8 weeks. Other half of the syllabus is completed in C2.C3 - has a weightage of 40% of semester marks. It is like the end semester exam. Half of weightage is of the exam paper and Half weightage is of a major semester assignment/project or Lab Evaluation. Duration is about 2 weeks. No classes take place after the C2 exam, there are just evaluations after the C2 period. Entire Semester Syllabus is covered in C3, i.e. , both C1 and C2 Syllabus.You can refer to this post by Manthan Surkar Sir on IIITA counselling facebook group to know more about the new curriculum here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/comejointhefam/permalink/2171685642880930/?app=fblNow coming to competitive coding, the most famous aspect of IIIT Allahabad, for which many people join IIIT Allahabad. The members of Competitive coding society and 4th year seniors take our competitive coding classes after our normal classes during night time to teach us various topics of competitive coding throughout the first year, which is very helpful in learning under their guidance. Also many coding contests are organized : team-wise and individual, and prizes are given to winners.Coming to the Development part, the development culture of college is also getting better year by year. This year 6 students of 2018 batch & 1 student of 2019 batch cleared Google Summer of Code (G-SoC). From the 2019 batch, almost every student is doing development and project in at least one of the sectors like Web Development, Android App Development, App development through Flutter, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Graphics and UI/UX Designing, etc. GeekHaven organizes IIITA Open Code competition every year at the starting of 2nd Semester for freshers to learn and develop more skills in development and also learn Open Source contribution.Coming to Cultural Societies, we have 6 cultural society here in IIIT Allahabad :Music Society - VirtuosiDance Society - GeneticX CrewDrama Society - RangtaranginiLiterary Society - SarasvaFine Arts Society - NirmitiAcoustics and Media Society - Thunderbolt AMS(Note - During the first year, Volunteers are selected through interviews and auditions. Then based on the performance in society throughout the year, few volunteers are selected as members of society for second year after another interview).Now coming to the Annual Fests of college, there are total 4 fests that take place:Effervescence - The annual Cultural Fest of IIIT Allahabad, takes place during the odd semester and is one the biggest attractions of IIIT allahabad. The Fest spans a total of 4 days from Day 0 to Day 3. There are various fun events like Treasure Hunt, Game Events, etc. , events under every cultural society of college and flagship events like - Kavyom and EDM night on Day 1; Comedy Show, Ala Mode and Band Night on Day 2 and Celebrity Night on Day 3. During my first year in 2019, we had Ritviz for EDM night, When Chai met Toast for Band Night, Anubhav Singh Bassi for Comedy Show and Neeti Mohan as Celebrity. Further, there are DJ night and midnight movie screenings in auditorium on all four days to make the nights truly memorable.IIIC E-Summit - Held in the second week of February, E-Summit IIIT Allahabad brings a platform to celebrate the history and the spirit of entrepreneurship; and to inspire the leaders and problem solvers of today and tomorrow. This 3-day event has students, corporate, entrepreneurs and budding enthusiasts on a common stage. This event in IIIT Allahabad will surely prove to be the home of extensive networking, inspiring stories and a breeding ground for future solutions. Also Comedy Show and Band Night was organized on Day-1 and Day-2 respectively.Asmita - Held in the Third Week of February, Asmita is the Annual Sports Fest of IIIT Allahabad. As one of the largest sports fests of India, it is a medium to promote sports and inculcate healthy sportsmanship, organized under college sports society - Spirit.Aparoksha - Aparoksha is the Annual Technical Festival of IIIT Allahabad, organized in late March every year. A collaboration of, for and by tech enthusiasts, Aparoksha is a platform for technocrats to code, design and build innovative solutions to transform India into a digitally empowered society and a knowledge based economy, all while providing a venue for self-expression and creativity. There are many great technical events, for Coding there are events like : C-Fresh (exclusive coding event for freshers), CodeRed, The Humblefool Cup, Blind Code, etc. are the main center of attraction. Also events like TEDx, Confab, Comedy Night, Poetry Night are great to watch.(Note - During the first year, Every Fest Team select Volunteers through interviews for every department. Then based on the performance and contribution in fest, few volunteers are selected as members of Core Fest Team for next year after another interview).Lastly about the Technical Societies, there are three technical societies in college :GeekHaven - This is the technical society under the IT department of college. There are various wings under this society -Web Development WingApp Development WingFOSS Wing (Open Source Community)Competitive Coding WingCyber Security WingDesign WingArtificial Intelligence WingAlso, Google Developer Student Club was introduced in GeekHaven IIITA recently.Tesla - This is the technical society under the ECE department of college. There are various wings under this society -EDA WingIOT WingRobotics WingGravity - This society is introduced this year only in IIIT Allahabad, under the Applied Science Department of College.

Just before the end of first year, interviews and contest are conducted to select members).There is also a Community for up-liftment for poor small children from village areas in Jhalwa - Prayaas. Students of IIITA teach them daily from 5–6 pm after classes and organize events for them on Holi, Diwali, Republic Day, Independence Day, etc. ; so that they learn something even after being under privileged.Further, There is absolutely no ragging here in IIIT Allahabad. I have been a volunteer during my first year in AMS society and Effervescence Fest, interacted with seniors and had fun with them. I have even gone to Senior’s Rooms (both 2nd and 3rd year) and enjoyed with them. All of us here interact with each other freely.Edit(1) - (Forgot to write about the Sports Society, thanks to Chaitanya Joshi for suggesting) The Sports Society Spirit regulates all the sports activities here in IIIT Allahabad. Several sports like Cricket, Football, Badminton, Tennis, Table Tennis, Volleyball, Athletes, Swimming, Carrom, Chess etc. are played under the Society and several friendly matches are organized from time to time between Seniors & Juniors, B.Tech & M.Tech and IIITA and Other local Colleges are held in various sports. The college also organizes Asmita, the annual Sports Fest in February and multiple colleges participate in it. IIIT Allahabad also participates every year in the Inter IIIT sports meet every year. So, Sports Facilities and Culture is also great.So, that’s all about the Campus Tour and Campus life of IIIT Allahabad.

I couldn't stop myself to writing this answer. Whenever I find the questions related to my college I feel very amazing. And why not , I have spent one of the best part of my life here in this institute and most probably I won't get that kind of life again . There are ample of memories and things which are reflashing in my mind right now while writing this answer but, I will restrict myself and will try to write which are relevant to newcomers.When we talk about nit MEGHALAYA then the weather here in shillong is the most beautiful thing which attracts every student who are from other state. Now in June where most of the part of this country is suffering from great temp upto 48° c , the temp in shillong hardly reaches 30 °c . Shillong is one of the oldest hill in India.Even these days you will need a blanket in night time. montain hills with greeneries makes this place extremely beautiful. If you are the one who loves nature and its beauty then you will like this place very much.Campus - this institute is still running in temporary campus but it has all the basic facilities available which is required. All the necessary laboratories has been established to every department .Hostel - institute has taken different building on different places in Shillong which are full furnished equipped will high speed WiFi . Buses are arrangedby the institute to carry the students from hostel to college and then College to hostel. Every hostel have their own mess.Academics. - NIT MEGHALAYA is one of the best among new NIT's in terms of academic. Every department has good faculty members​ who will guide you and best thing what I found is most of them are very polite and friendly . You can talk and share you non academics problem as well and they are ready to help you in the best possible way.Administration - as nit Meghalaya is an autonomous institute so rules and regulations are followed there strictly as what I observed in my four year of life there.Extracurricular activitiesA) sports-every hostel is provided with sports equipment and nearby playground is also available. Every year annual sports festival is organised where you can take part and perform. For some of the sports like badminton , football , table tennis College send some of the students to participate in inter - NIT sports meet where you will be playing among the students of different nits.B) activities related to art and cultureEvery year cultural festival is organised by the institute where you can have fun and you can take part in these activities . Shillong is known for its rich cultural activities . Most of my friends who are from shillong were very good at singing, dancing, playing guitar and drum. Lots of private institutions are there where you can learn this activities . Debate , panel discussion , painting , photography competition , writing poem and essay competition is also conducted every year.C) technical activityEvery year technical festival named cognitia is organised in the institute to enhance the technical ability of the students. Details are given on the institute website you can see there .7. PlacementThe most important among all . Everyone needs to know what they​get after this four year of beautiful journey. If you complete the journey successfully​ and you get nothing in your hand then it's not good.This institute has a decent placement record for each department except civil engineering and I can say electrical engineering too. Reason is that these department have their vacency in government sector mostly for which you have to appper for another examination conducted by state psc , upsc , ssc GATE etc. For CSE and ECE the placement record is very good . Mechanical engineering also have very good placement this year.ConclusionOverall this institute and life here is very good in terms of every aspect. You will get a chance to meet and live with the students of each and every part of this country which really will boost up your knowledge and personality . You will come to know and learn the culture of different parts of India.I belongs to Bihar and I was a Hindi medium student and after four year I have been writing this answer to you .I hope this helps you. Any suggestions or questions are mostly welcomed . You can write it in comment box.

In a word: Yes. Chess is a sport. The IOC has acknowledged it as such, and since they are the closest thing to an official global body for sport governance, their ruling is pretty clear.Of course, "sport" means different things to different people. I did some research in the early 2000's in order to ascertain the support chess was getting from various National Olympic Committees post-recognition of chess as a sport by the IOC. The lessons were pretty interesting.First of all, it is worth noting that chess is a medal sport at some NOC competitions such as the Asian Games. People have won medals in official IOC events for playing chess. (This had a tendency of shocking most people, by the way.)Second, "Sport" clearly means different things to different cultures. In the native English-speaking countries (United States, Canada, United Kingdom) and other places like Scandinavia, "Sport" is taken by most people to refer to "Athletic Competition". As such, chess does not qualify by most people's definitions. In Russia, Chess most certainly was considered "спорт", which referred more to "Competition" in general, without concern for whether or not athletic prowess was part of the conversation. I found that in the rest of the world, "Sport" didn't have as strong an athletic overtone as it did to native English speakers.I'd also like to pull up an Oxford English Dictionary definition for sport (#4), including the notes:a. An activity involving physical exertion and skill, esp. (particularly in modern use) one regulated by set rules or customs in which an individual or team competes against another or others. Freq. in pl. In early use the sense of ‘sport’ as a diversion or amusement is paramount; by the 18th and 19th centuries the term was often used with reference to hunting, shooting, and fishing (see blood, field sports at the first element). The consolidation of organized sport (particularly football, rugby, cricket, and athletics) in the 19th cent. reinforced the notion of sport as physical competition (for contact, motor-, racket, spectator, team, water sport, etc., see the first element).b. In pl. An occasion on which people compete in various athletic or other sporting activities. Cf. game n. 4b. In early use freq. referring to the ancient Olympic Games.c. Participation in activities involving physical exertion and skill, (now) esp. competitive activities regulated by set rules or customs; such activities collectively.As you can see, chess qualifies as a sport, most certainly under 4b and 4c as it is most certainly under "other sporting activities" and a "competitive activity regulated by set rules or customs". However, it most certainly does not qualify as a sport under 4a. I suspect the following passage gives you the clear clue:"The consolidation of organized sport (particularly football, rugby,cricket, and athletics) in the 19th cent. reinforced the notion of sportas physical competition (for contact, motor-, racket, spectator, team,water sport, etc., see the first element)."So, it's a sport if you define sport as a "competitive activity regulated by set rules or customs", and it isn't if you define it as "an activity involving physical exertion and skill". The IOC, however, says it is a sport, so I'll use that as the tiebreaker for now.
