Review of NITW

There are a couple of positives. The placements are great, the crowd is diverse and the fests are fun. But along with that there are a lot of negatives. The mentality of people here is extremely old-fashioned and obsolete. Girls live a very strict life with a curfew varying from 6 pm to 9 pm. The admin does not do the work required. And despite having horrible faculty we have to sit in their class due to an 80% attendance criteria rule. Warangal is a 3.5 hours road journey from Hyderabad so travelling is a pain

The course curriculum is good. Not that extensive, though I wish it were. It covers everything you need to know but nothing above and beyond to separate you from the rest. The exam structure is fairly basic. Halfway through we have mid examinations and at the end of the semester we have end exams. Somewhere interspersed in the middle we have two tests.

The placements and job opportunities are very very good, here at NITW. You sit for internship placements at the start of your 3rd year and job placements at the start of final years. All multinational big companies come and recruit from our college.

We have 2 annual fests in our college. One is a technical test and the other a cultural one. They’re conducted at a massive scale with a lot of budget, events and even shows by Bollywood celebrities. Students from a couple of other colleges also come to attend these festivals.

The fee structure varies according to the category you belong to. A lot of students do not pay any fees at all. They study for free. But the other students, from the general category, have to pay a reasonable sum. In fact, the fees is on the lower side. Further they give scholarships to meritorious students.

The institute offers a merit scholarship to students who’ve performed well only based on their CGPA. 10% of the batch gets this scholarship. There are other scholarships too, however they are usually for backward categories or families with lower incomes.

The labs are A compulsory Part of the course. I personally think our labs need upgrades because the equipment is old and faulty and all the faculty incharges are inexperienced. The worst facilities are assigned to labs and they don’t know how to perform these experiments. We’re somehow expected to know how to do them ourselves and then write a record of every experiment for no reason. Other extra curriculars include sports, which does exist though not at a large scale. Dance, music other hobbies are all catered to by student run clubs. They’re a very big part of our college and do great!

The hostel situation is the worst. Especially for a girl. The worst part is administration does not let any girl let the rest of the world know how bad the hostels are. Girls are pushed in 4 or 5 people in a cramped room, with all sorts of insects, fans not working, window not closing. The bathrooms are all broken, not cleaned, and the flushes don’t work. There is algae in the water due to lack of cleaning of the tank. There are snakes and frogs living in your room. The conditions are uninhabitable.

Yes, they’re helpful. I’m still to learn about the alumni network, but my immediate seniors or the seniors who have gotten placed have always been incredibly helpful about their experiences in college, placement season, exams etc.

The admission process is only through your JEE Mains scores. After you write the JEE Mains paper, you are given a rank list and based on that you get admission. However there are reservation of seats for other socially backward categories as well as for people belonging to the home state ie Telangana and Andhra Pradesh

The faculty is where I believe the college is lacking. Most of them, I’m sure, are extremely knowledgeable, though some are not, but almost all of them don’t know a thing or two about teaching. The quality of teaching is subpar and the truth is that you have to learn everything from YouTube videos or teachers online. The worst part is because of the attendance rule, you still have to sit through class and waste your time not understanding anything. The teachers are egotistical and cannot take feedback
