NITJ review by CRC

As I got my college through JOSAA counseling, I applied for almost all NITs and IIITs and some reputed GFTIs. I took this college as I want to choose a decent branch with a good college reputation and good placement records. I took admission through the OBC quota. All NIT's took admission through JOSAA counseling after qualifying JEE Mains Exam. Students are required to have atleast 75% marks(65% marks for SC/ST students) or in the top 20%ile. Students have to sit in JOSAA counseling which conducts 6-7 rounds and after that CSAB conducts two special rounds for filling of vacant seats. After allowing any branch in any college from your filled list, students have to lock their seat and have to pay seat acceptance fee of about Rs 35000. In case if anyone wants to sit in CSAB special rounds, additional Rs. 36500 have to paid. For SC/ST students, seat acceptance fee is Rs 15000 and Rs 16500 respectively. Students have to submit various documents to the finally allotted college.

I am pursuing B.Tech In Civil Engineering. I took this course as since, from my childhood I was fascinated by huge buildings, monuments, towers, bridges etc., and how these structures are constructed. Also during my preparation time, my strongest subject was physics and specially in mechanics and these subjects are common in syllabus of Civil Engineering also. Faculty to Student ratio is 1:25. All faculty members hold PhD degrees from reputed colleges like IITs,. BITS and also from foreign universities.. 75% attendence criteria is must. Still some professors don't bother much until you perform good in exams. College used to conduct two minor exams of 20 marks each, 10 marks for assignment and 50 marks for end term exam. Exams are timely conducted. Studying for 15 days is enough to pass in any subject with good grades. Most students used to prepare pre-night before the exam day. Grading is done on the basis of marks. After that CGPA is alloted according to grades obtained.

Most of the placements are for CS, IT and ECE branch but core branches like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical also have decent placement opportunities.

For the 2019 batch, students have to pay Rs 62500 for tuition fees. Besides that additional 17000 is for admission fee, examination fee, development fee, library fee and stuffs like that. This amount is to be paid by students whose family income is greater than 5 lacs. If family income of student is in between 1 lacs to 5 lacs, they need to pay only 1/3rd of the tuition fee and full additional fee of Rs 17000. And if students family income is below 1 lacs or student belongs to SC/ST category (regardless of family income) , tuition fee is exempted for them and only required to pay the additional fee. Beside that Hostel fee including mess fee costs Rs 33500. Also institute regularly provides notifications on opportunities of various scholarships.
