NIT Jamshedpur- an insider view

Positive remark- Workload is less, so you can prepare sideways for other competition exams. Course is lenient and not quite difficult to pass. Negative remarks- some teachers aren't helpful, new infrastructure work is going on and will be functional from next year as old infrastructure is in dilipidated situation.

It's pretty decent but is old fashioned. So is the case with the curriculum all over India, practical knowledge is less focused and theoretical knowledge is preferred. Though the courses are lenient but if you have to get good grades, you have to work hard. Around 25-30 hours of classes and labs in a week which gives us ample time for other activities as well. Exams were normal and it depends upon the course instructor how difficult he wishes to make question paper.

Placement is the thing NIT Jamshedpur can boat upon. specially in CSE ECE branches. Major companies that came were- Microsoft Amazon Adobe Goldman Sachs General electronics Tata steel L&T Their package and salaries were pretty good too with highest reaching upto 43 lpa.

Ojass- Techno management fest Culfest- Cultural fest Urja- sports fest Vidhaan- civil branch fest Technica- Metallurgy branch fest Cognitio- Mechanical branch fest Cultural and technical fest were 2nd biggest in East India after IIT Kharagpur one.

I got 20204 rank in JEE mains, I was more inclined in choosing core branches, so I opt for civil engineering in NIT Jamshedpur as it's placement is pretty good and work load is pretty lenient. I had options like choosing Patna or durgapur's NIT too but Jamshedpur was a better one and also situated in a better location. So it was a win win situation. I got admission after 7 rounds of counselling in JOSAA.

Faculty though is highly educated but it seems a quite few of them don't have high degree of proficiency in teaching. Because teaching is an art, no matter how highly educated you are, sometimes you can't convey the message to your students. So faculty in my opinion isn't much great.
