SAYAN DUTTA's Review On NIST University, Berhampur

I gave JEE Main, VITEE, KITEE, WBJEE. I got selected in both VITEE and KITEE but VIT Vellore was too far from my hometown and KIT Bhubaneshwar was having a very high fee structure. So me and my family both decided to drop out from these two options.

Though I am in first year so I do not know much about the focus on the research activities but still as far as heard from seniors NIST gives imp value in research activities.Other than that, course curriculum of NIST is good. It always creates a pressure on the students which helps the students to through a regular study routine.

Yes, The college provides internships. One of its internships are in Taiwan University and for all branches. Since I am in first year I haven't experienced an internship. Also the college provides internships within many companies.

The placement results are improving day by day.Also newer companies are stepping in the college campus for recruitment. Top notch companies like Infosys, Wipro, Tech-Mahindra, Cybage are visiting the campus. Also Indian Army and Indian Navy are visiting the campus. Highest package this year was 17 lakhs per annum fro dropbox. Other than that a general package of 6 lakhs per annum is generally secured by the students.

Our college celebrates two fests. SANKALP the tech fest and WAVES the cultural fest. SANKALP organises many events fro the no. of days it persists with the ending of it by DJ nights. And WAVES is a cultural fest where different cultural activities are held.

Fee structure is 1,45,000 per year including academic fees and hostel accomodation and transport facilities .This is mostly feasible by moderate students from other colleges. But the mess fees is different from this amount as it depends on how many days you eat.

There are no. of scholarships available to students given by the faculty members of the college. There are scholarships for both economically poor and meritorious students .For sports extra curricular activities and academics scholarships are provided. Also for research activities scholarships are provided.

There are girls studying in the college but not as boys a little less than than boys i.e 3 girls to 10 boys. Also it depends on the branch in different branch the ratio is different.There are various clubs in the college.There are about 15 clubs in the college. There a lot of extracurricular activities like that of dance,debate, qiuz, games and sports like basketball ,volleyball, swimming, table tennis, badminton, football and cricket.

NIST follows a very strict exam pattern. The lab exams are also held very strictly .Each day or the other they will be taking surprise tests and quiz tests which leave us with a hectic day. Semesters exams are held in a very clear and fair manner. The question papers prepared are also of good standard.

First I enrolled in OJEE through my JEE main rank.We payed the counselling fee for it. Later on you need to give your college choices. After few days the result of counselling was declared i.e which college you are alloted based on your rank and according to your choices.

The faculty of our colleges are experienced faculties of more than 5 years.Most of them are PHD holders. Almost all the faculties have their papers published in international journals. Most of them are gold medalists in their subjects. They are well dedicated in their teaching professions and take interest in teaching the students.
