Might like to try www.100bit.co.in

Cryptsy still has decent volume.
Are there any exchanges with:
* Over 20 altcoins - NO - But, they are in the process of adding more. So you may suggest - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1032121.0.
* Good volume - NO - They are very new to have any good volume. Moreover, it is a diect trading exchange.
* low/reasonable fees - YES - 0.1% of the trading volume.
* Decent reputation/No major hacks  ...? - YES - They do not have a site wallet. You only put in your coins at the time of trading. So, very low chance of losing your coins, even if there is a hack.

Do you have to go through verification to trade BTC with alts?

no you don't have to do this, if you are trading crypto only, until you don't exchange for fiat your are in a safe heaven

poloniex is the best. But the things I don't like is that loading it in my phone takes huge long.

They can call themselves whatever they want, but it doesn't make it true. The gui and front end code reaks of rookie mistakes. they may be experts in CS but in practice i'm not sure that's the case, atleast for whoever built the front end.

BiTTREX (https://www.bittrex.com) has True Slack.  n'uff said

Cryptopia (https://www.cryptopia.co.nz) is also very interesting:
  • Exchange, Pools, Explorers and Market Place - All in one.
  • TONS of older coins. +1 For giving a Home to Memecoin Enthusiasts

NO 1 poloniex, NO2 bittrex.

Most of altcoins list on poloniex are good and legit coins, XMR, STR, MAID are all good coins, and with highest trading volume.

While bittrex likes add new alts very much, and most of them are shit and scam coins, especially last year, bittrex always listed scam coins, and when the scam coins listed there, the devs dump them to investors. And then vanished, there was also some scam coin ICO were held there, very disappointed about bittrex.

No one force anyone to buy new coin on bittrex. The exchange is just offering products and brokering coins.
