It's amazing to be at 'NITJ'

The institute is an ideal platform to give flight to one's dreams. Its only up to the students that work hard & with diligence, so that they can emerge as better citizens of the nation & pass out with flying colors.

The admission to the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) is done on the basis of JEE Main ranks. My score in JEE Main-2016 was 164. I opted for this college because it is a high reputed college & it is an institute of national importance. Further in-campus placements are also pretty fair.

The course curriculum is pretty good. Some of the departments have their own Research & Development centers. Various scholars even from abroad come here to carry out their research. The curriculum otherwise is diverse too, & we get to learn skills from different fields & aspects.

The college does not provide paid internship on a regular basis. Although one can carry out his research work in any of the departments by paying fees as prescribed by the institute.

The placements at NIT Jalandhar are pretty good. The highest package from the college in the year 2016 was 27 Lpa in India & 73Lpa Overseas. The average package of Computer Science Engineering is 9 Lpa & that of the institute for all branches is 5-6 Lpa.

There are number of events organised in the institute throughout the year which are based on scholastic as well as co- curricular activities. Among them, there are two major events celebrated in the Institute, TechNITi & Utkansh. TechNITi is the technical fest organised during odd semester & Utkansh is the cultural fest organised during even semester.

The fee structure of the institute is average. The annual fees for B. Tech. is about 1.5 lac(exclusive mess & hostel). Although if the students is from reserved category or the family income the students in less than 5 lpa, then he has to pay as low as 20000 a year. The hostel & mess fees are quite feasible.

There are various banks & other loan providers in collaboration with the institute that provide 0 interest rate education loan to students of the institute.

The campus life here at NITJ is pretty amazing. In spite of hectic daily schedule, there are many things to explore & indulge in. There are numerous events organised almost every 2 weeks in which the students can participate & improve their personality & soft skills. The gender ratio is mostly male dominant. The activities conducted are diverse in nature keeping in mind the students of different cultural backgrounds from all over the country.

The hostel facilities & mess food are good enough. Unlike many NITs & IITs, the food here is very hygienic & delicious as well. We get 24 hours electricity facility in the hostels & free WiFi facility in the hostels with 4GB of data given to every student on a daily basis.

The alumni network of the institute is not very good though. The institute is unable to maintain a regular & comprehensive relations & contacts with the alumnus. Although alumni meet is conducted on an yearly basis.

Exam structure of the institute is well organised & framed as per the curriculum. Each semester is for about 5 months & we have two class tests(minors) & one final test(major). The scores of all the three tests are used to calculate the result of a student. There is almost one month gap between any two tests(minors & major).

The JEE Main counselling is done by JoSAA. We to fill in the choice of institute & branch we want to take admission in. Then during counselling rounds when a seat is allotted according to our choice, we have to report physically to any of the nearest NITs. After the counselling procedure is over & the seat allotted is fixed, we to the report to the institute where the seat is allotted. There document verification is done & we get admission to the institute.

The faculty is highly experienced & learned at NITJ. Most of the professors & other faculty members are graduates, post graduates & Ph. D. holders from IITs & other reputed colleges. They are also very supported & always ready to be there for the students in order to resolve their problems.
