IIT Indore has been immensely successful in making a mark among the newer IITs. Although students with ranks at a much later position opt for it, it has provided excellent facilities, commendable academic quality, and a good placement record. 

One thing that strikes anyone skimming through online organic student reviews is their satisfaction with almost every aspect of the institution. It is indeed a versatile institution. The campus is reputed for its academic excellence. Perhaps the major drawback that the students seem to face is its location. Even though the campus is located in Indore, it is 20-22 kilometres from the main city. However, students perhaps don't need to get into the city as major necessities are available inside the campus premises.
