What are IITs?
The Indian Institutes of Technology (collectively the IITs) are institutes of national excellence. At the moment, there are 7 IITs in Mumbai, Kanpur, Delhi, Kharagpur, Chennai, Roorkee and Guwahati, with a couple other in the pipeline. Historically, the IITs have been a hub of academic excellence, often attracting the brightest students from all over India. IIT Campuses are sprawling, averaging around a thousand acres of greenery and home to about 400 faculty and 4000 students.
Today, the IITs continue to be a hub of excellence, serving both the society and industry with innovative solutions for current problems.

Campus Atmosphere
Photo 20062 Take a pinch of academic load. Add a dash of surprise tests and quizzes to it. Add late night coffees and inter-hostel rivalry and mix it thoroughly. For flavor, introduce multitudes of workshops by experts, visits by scientists and award winning professors/artistes/authors. Add an internship at a world class lab/university in India or abroad as seasoning. Add liberally a number of national level contests and festivals. This is when you begin to get a taste of life in IIT. Moreover, students hail from all over India, coming from different backgrounds and value systems. Interacting and engaging in learning pursuits in such a diverse group is an experience in itself.
IITians carry not only their education with them, but also a huge network comprising talented individuals spread across the globe – an invaluable asset.
IIT is not just about academic learning. Other major highlights of the year are the cultural, science and technology and sports festivals, attracting colleges from all over India. Be it making treks to picturesque mountains or aeromodelling or playing football or making a movie – you can do all of it while studying in IIT. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? It’s no wonder that IITians look back to their years in IIT as among the best years of their lives. Students pass out with fond memories of their vibrant IIT life, that they treasure throughout their lives. Most alumni go on to say that they never came across such a charged atmosphere with brightest minds. Photo 20057

How to prepare for the JEE?
For students all across India, getting through the JEE is a dream come true. Students prepare for 2 years, juggling between school and exam prep. Despite a huge number of coaching institutes and huge amount of test prep material, students face inadequacy of resources due to high costs. LearnHub’s JEE community provides free lessons and tests, and a platform where students can discuss doubts and debate approaches to problem solving. Mirroring LearnHub’s SAT, TOEFL, and GRE communities, this is a testament to LearnHub’s commitment to providing the best test prep resources to students at no price! Photo 19462

    Very nice lesson, especially for aspirants like myself….
    Actually, students don't just prepare for the JEE for two years, there are IIT-JEE preparation programs to help u build your conceptual understanding of lessons right from class 9, which is the main essence of IIT-JEE….
