Computer Care is on the first floor of Nanda Building, 19 Civil Lines, near Century Gate in Roorkee. Students can discuss laptops, accessories, repairs, upgrades and software setup with Satish Saini, a postgraduate computer engineer.
Bring the details that matter: the software your course uses, the computer you already own, your budget and any assignment or examination deadline. You get a local point of contact for both choosing a computer and discussing help when your needs change.
Choose a laptop for the course you actually study
Begin with the applications your department or course requires. Check their supported operating systems and hardware requirements, then think about battery life, portability, keyboard comfort and the peripherals you need. Engineering, coding and design workloads are not all the same.
Compare new laptops and refurbished laptops against that brief. For refurbished units, discuss the specific configuration, condition, battery and warranty terms. A lower price only helps if the machine suits your coursework and daily use.
When your laptop slows down or stops working
Note the symptoms, error messages and when the problem began. Call with the model and deadline before visiting, particularly if you need the computer back for an examination or submission. Inspection and parts availability affect the realistic turnaround.
Read our laptop and computer repair guide before handing over the device. Back up accessible work you need to keep and discuss the effect of any reinstall or storage change. Software setup should also account for licences; do not assume every required application is included.
Student-friendly value, discussed directly
Ask Satish about current student options for laptops, accessories, upgrades and repairs. Computer Care focuses on the complete requirement: the right specification, the work involved and the support you can discuss afterwards.
Share your budget to discuss current student deals, product availability and realistic service turnaround. If you already have a computer, compare the cost and benefit of an upgrade with replacement. The aim is to spend on what will make a useful difference to your studies.

Questions from students
Is there a fixed IIT student discount?
No fixed percentage is published. Ask Satish about current pricing and the complete offer for your requirement. Availability, specifications and the work involved affect the options.
Can you advise on an engineering laptop?
Yes. Share the actual course applications and requirements. Advice is more useful with that information than with a general request for an “engineering laptop”.
Can a repair be finished before my submission?
Explain the deadline before committing to work. Diagnosis, parts and the repair required affect timing. Confirm the realistic turnaround with Satish so you can plan around your submission.
