The college is really good. The huge campus full of greenery is a sight to behold. It's very clean and peaceful. Availability of resources, good transportation and communication facilities are there. Courese from undergraduation till post graduation are on offer. Experienced and skilled professors are also there. Apart from that placements are good. Substance abuse is a major drawback.

Course curriculum is prepares by the core committee of the college along with some references from old IITs. The syllabus matches with that of the syllabus of various PG entrance examinations. In every semester there will be two examinations. One is the mid-semester examination for 30 marks for each written paper and end-semester for 50 marks each. 20 marks for each subject are assigned by the subject teacher based on internal assessments, classroom involvement etc. Laboratory courses are evaluated on a daily basis, based on the performace on that particular lab class.

JASHN is celebrated every year only by those who are in their final years purely for making memories before the leave the college.

The tution fees is same for all the NITs all over the country. But the remaining fees such as hostel fees, room rents etc. are very cheap. It seems feasible. Students with reservations and students whose family income is less than 5 lakhs per annum get tution fee waiver.

These clubs promote these extracurricular activites under the guidance of the Student Activity Centre(SAC). The sports facilities are all managed by the SAC but they do not come under any club. Interested students can participate and play for the college team in various sports fests across the country. Sports like tennis, cricket, football, badminton, kho kho, kabaddi, swimming , athletics, volleyball, basketball, hockey are available for participation.

The hostel infrastructure is really good. They are very well maintained. The hostels are full of lush green gardens. Washrooms are also neat. There is 24*7 supply of water. Power cuts are less. Mess provides food four times a day. There is a day canteen and a night canteen for those who wish to eat extra by purchasing. Every hostel is located within a proximity of a restaurant.

Our college has got an alumni association called as NITRAA which every year conducts get togethers, seminars, events such as quizzes, debates, declamations, competitions for school students, etc. The NITRAA is very active and also helps to promote various activities performed by the students of the college.
