COLLEGE LIFE AT NITW

I chose this course as I wanted to go into the field of space technology specially rocketry. And for that mechanical engg is a field that can help me understand the thermodynamics used in this. There are almost 10 faculties per class which includes professors and helping staff. Each class contains on an average 70 students. So 1:7 would be a good ratio. Faculties are highly qualified and experienced but some faculty don't have such a good teaching methodology. Learning from some faculties seems so dull that we prefer reading materials and watching online lectures than learning from them. Attendance system of college drives students to their class. Otherwise, none would be going to their class. Term was not so difficult. We did well. But most of the students found it difficult to pass in some subjects as they did not understood the topic well and precise materials were not available for those subjects.

Internship is promoted in our branch by many companies. The college carries out summer internship programmes. But we should maintain a good cgpa in college and indulge in all sorts of things related to development of skills in the college. Innovation garage is such a place in our college which is based on skill development and help people to develop product based ideology there.

Students can apply for internships in 3rd year and for placements in the 4th year of their college life. Mostly Tata, Hyundai, Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc. visit the college. I dont have knowledge about offers made this year. In mech average package was 12.5 LPA, the highest package was 28 LPA but overall college's highest package was 88 LPA. In my branch, the placement rate is 94%. Overall placement rate, I dont know but it's above 96%. I plan to prepare for civil services after taking my degree if I am unable to get a good placement of at least 12 LPA+.

The fee structure is good as NITs are one of the cheapest colleges in our country. Financial assistance is also provided but I did not take any so I dont know much about it. But some of my friends have applied and got it so it's a really good system.

Spring Spree is the biggest annual fest here which is conducted in March. Tech fests are Technozion in December and Youth Fest in January. It has a really big library with 22 lakh books worth 8 cr+ Classrooms are also good with good facilities. Sports and extracurricular activities are encouraged and promoted greatly. A lot of games are played except swimming. There are many clubs run by students here almost 23+ clubs including robotics club, astronomy club, music and dance club, etc.

1st year rooms are double. No option for single rooms. They are actually single sized rooms but are alloted to 2 people so it is congesting. There are private messes here so food quality is good at least for 1st year students. Menu is a mixture of south and north indian food. Registration for hostel is done at the time of physical reporting but you need to pay hostel fees in advance. It is affordable. Currenlty I dont think there are PG rooms available in this locality. College is out of city so it is quite difficult to find hotels to stay nearby. So it is kuch difficult to find PG rooms to stay.

The cutoff was very high. Reservation kills. People who have 1 lakh rank and me who have 16k rank study in the same class. Guidance should be given to aspirants while counselling. Ill-knowledgeable aspirants before counselling may make some mistakes which may end them up in some worthless college.
