Being a govt institute things move as per the rules and are sometimes slow however at the same time it provides with ample support from a structure of alumni, professors and peers as long as the student is willing to learn and extract, he will be successf

AIEEE 2004 all India Rank 5843 delhi state rank 560 one of the best NITs in the country & I was getting a branch of my choice.

I did my internships at research institutes though there are many companies which come for internships specially in the mechanical, instrumentation, civil & textile divisions. Earlier core electronics & computer companies used to visit to a lesser extent due to geographical location but now many NCR based IT & electronics companies visit average stipend during our time varied from 10 15 K per month for three months.

Placement was decent most students got 2 if not more jobs from campus, almost 90% odd students get placed barring cases of dropouts for higher studies & entrepreneurs. Average package in 2008 batch was around 6 7 lacs pa some companies that visited were oil PSUs like IOCL & HPCL, NTPC, Sapient, TCS, Accenture, CTS, Eicher, Maruti Suzuki, Volvo, Seimens, Freescale, Havells, DRDO, Google, Mahindra Satyam etc.

College cultural fest is called Utkansh held in Feb March every year pretty big event with participation from colleges all over North India participation on par with Thomso and Rendez Vous technical festival is called Techniti & was started by our batch, participation was decent from colleges all over the region.

Seniors are very helpful in most cases i was supported not only in terms of guidance & mentorship but also through additional notes and books interaction with alumni mostly happened during meets while being a student but now as an alumni myself we do interact on social media or in person very often.

Exams are based on the semester system and are held every 6 months with mid term papers held in between the days are mostly packed in the first two years and are spread out with classes in first half and tutorials/labs in the second half third and final y

Most faculties are PhDs, First year faculty members are from various departments and are decent from an engineering students prospective departmental faculties are though very good NIT Jalandhar is known for its faculty of Electronics, Instrumentation, Me
