Pros

Being the institution that offers the most respected and established engineering education in Turkey. Having a globally recognized diploma and a highly powerful alumni network that opens doors in the industry. Hosting a vibrant campus life, particularly at the Ayazağa campus, which offers extensive facilities and is intertwined with R&D and technopark companies.

Cons

The high academic stress placed on students due to the extreme difficulty of exams and the highly competitive grading curve system. The student affairs and administrative bureaucracy operating in a quite slow, complex, and exhausting manner at times. The physical infrastructure of certain faculty buildings and laboratories becoming outdated and in urgent need of modernization.
