NIT Jamshedpur has improved it's infrastructure considerably in the last 2 years, the New Academic Building is under top 50 Asia's biggest buildings. The placements has always been decent here, and each I have seen increase in the mean and median salaries of all branches. Moreover, there is less stress on academics, classes are flexible. Boys get a personal room starting from the second year itself; During the first year, one room is shared by two individual. The Mess Food is not very good but comparative to other NITs and IITs, it's way better, though this accounts for high mess charges around INR 16500.

Electronics and Communication Engineering Department, is a bit more strict compared to other departments. Teachers are post graduates/PhDs from IITs, NITs or foreign institutions. They know, they there subject well. The Teaching methods of almost all teachers can be considered obsolete, the lectures do get boring, if the subject doesn't interests you. The exams are always on time according to the academic that is given at the beginning of the academic year. The exams are relatively easy to score, if you have notes of your friends who went to class everyday. All the questions are mostly form what the teacher has taught in class.

I have been working in Mentor Graphics as a Deep Learning Intern, with a lump-sum stipend of 40k/month. Companies like Amazon, Nvidia, Arcesium, Samsung, Groww and other reputed brands over internships to students in their third year with stipends as high as 100k/month. Also, students interested in research can work under professors, on a projects in the department labs as well.

The Placement Statics are improving each year by leaps and bounds. Students are eligible for placements from the 7th Semester itself. For paid-internships students in the 8th Semester are allowed to do intern. Also in the 3rd year, companies visit for 2-4 month internships that are to be completed in the summer break.

There is a 2/3rd remission in the tuition fees for students whose parental income is less than 5 LPA, and for those having family income less than 1LPA, the entire tuition fee is remitted. There is no fee hike in the entire curriculum of 4 years, the fee always remains the same.
