Vikash Nayak's Review On NIST University, Berhampur

NIST is the number - 1 college in Eastern India, top most college in Odisha, it holds 60th Rank among all Engineering colleges in India (by Outlook). One of the reality is, I was staying in Berhampur where the college is located - this is the biggest factor, which induced me to join the college. I heard a lot about this college, since this is the best Engineering college in Odisha. It's campus is very beautiful and after seeing it we can't ignore this college. Apart from this it's Labs, academics, sports facilities (indore stadium) are awesome. So if you are not able get into any IIT and NIT colleges, then this one of the best private colleges.

Courses in our college was industrial standard. So if you will take any branch like ECE, CS/IT, Mechanical, EEE then can get jobs in very renowned industries/companies, due to your exposure towards practical knowledge because of the LAB facilities

I have done my internship in Sankalp Semiconductor, in VLSI/Electronics field (Analog designer). After that, I placed and joined in INTEL INDIA and my initial package was 11 LPA (Even I was selected in INFOSYS and WIPRO campus drive)

As per my experience, there are so many companies coming for Campus recruitment. e.g., TCS, Capgemini, INFOSYS, Wipro etc. IT companies. Cadence, Sankalp, broadcom, entuple, perfect VIP, Corel etc. VLSI companies. for other companies and details please visit college site.

There is 2 tech fest happening in our college yearly. One can participate in all these events and all these are grand, even big celebrities are invited in those nights and all tech fest and event are for inter-college competition. I have participated in technical events mostly in my time and have won many awards as well - last year I was part of the organization committee. You can participate in cultural events as well.

If your family income is less than 2.5Lakhs then you can get TWF scholarship, which will waive full tuition fees. Apart from this you can get NIST scholarship of 1500 Rs each month if you have a very good academic background and poor economic background. (I was part of these scholarships)

I think NIST has one of the biggest Library among best institutes in INDIA. It's LABs well designed to amplify knowledge of an Engineer. And about Campus and sports facility - you need to go there and live it, it's AWESOME.
