Decent college

I chose mechanical engineering at NITJ because it was the best option for me as per my rank in JEE, also I chose this because of the NIT Tag. Faculty to student ratio is approximately 1:9. Almost all of the faculties have done their B.Tech and M.Tech from different NITs across India and all of them hold a post-doctorate degree. The term exams were held on time and it is a little difficult to pass them.

There are many internships available in college. Students from core branches are allowed to do internships in their respective domain only. Some of the companies that recruited from our branch were BPCL, HPCL, etc they offered a stipend of about 20000 per month.

Campus placements at my college are good, the average package B.Tech here stands at 9.8 lakhs. The students become eligible for campus placements in the seventh semester. Almost all big companies like Microsoft, oracle, nvidia, etc visit our campus for placements. The highest package of 2022 was 1.2 crores at Google for developer roles. 90 percent of students get placed. I am planning for an MBA after this degree.

Fees are divided into hostel fees, tuition fees, library fees, fees for medical facilities, and similar things and there is a separate mess fee in our college. Scholarships are there but it's not easy to obtain. There are no campus jobs. There are no fees hike for someone who has joined the college already. It takes almost 6-7 lakhs for a person to complete his degree if one has an income certificate to prove his income is betweeen 5 to 8 lakhs.

Life at the campus is okayish. There are clubs for basic activities like dance, music, arts, management, and photography but I think there is a need for a more different variety of clubs. Techfest is technician, it is held in November. The annual fest is Utkansh, it is held in March every year. Almost all the books needed for exam preparation are available in the library. Projectors, LED, and two blackboards are available in the classroom and they are air-conditioned.

One must have cleared JEE main and must clear the cutoff during the JOSAA counseling. There is no application form we only have to apply for JOSAA counseling and fill in our choices there. I availed of the GENERAL-EWS reservation which reserved 10% of seats for economically weaker sections. I don't feel the need of improvement in the admission process as such.
