All about NIT Durgapur

Likes

The faculty, they are well deserved and qualified in every department and are very supportive.
The hostels, they are quite spacious and have a beautiful view.
The campus, though it is small compared to other colleges, but whatever it is, it's neat and clean and green.

Dislikes

The campus, it's too small and over half is occupied by the residents. So there is not much to explore in the campus.
The education system. Although the faculty is good but the system and curriculum is bad. You need to change it as it is outdated.

Placement Experience:

The placement here is quite good. As the college was built in 1960 it has great alumni connections. Students start to get internship offers from the 5th to 6th semester while getting them placed in 7-8th semester. Some of the companies visiting here are Microsoft, Hyundai, reliance, etc. With an offer of over 50lpa. The highest package of the college was 71lpa last year and the lowest was around 7.5lpa. About 88% of students from my department got placed last year. I was thinking about getting into a tech company through college campus placements, it's quite hard though but getting a job is my target.

One of the best colleges that you can get!

Likes

The greenery and cleanliness of this college.
Air conditioned classrooms and proper furniture.

Dislikes

Sports facilities, and no swimming pool.
The college is not that big as it has a lot of faculty area.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I am interested in the field of Automobile Engineering, thus I opted for this particular course. The faculty-to-student ratio is quite good. Most of the faculty have done their PhD and master's from IITs. The mid-term exams are for 1.5 hours and the end term is for 3 hours. Both are exclusively difficult.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I took a 2-year program in FIITJEE. It was a classroom program which allowed us to get premium lessons from top teachers in that field who have a very good experience. It was both a digital and physical class. The teachers were very qualified and they themselves have cracked those exams with high ranks. Jee is the toughest exam in India.

A student can manage to get a PPO, after completing the internship in the 3rd year which is also encouraged by the student.

NIT Durgapur: 1 Answered Question

What is your review of NIT, Durgapur?

Shivani DasB.Tech from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2019)

Here is a detailed review shared by my brother who completed his graduation from NIT Durgapur

Infrastructure: Honestly, the infrastructure isn’t all that great but will provide all the basic amenities necessary for a good academic environment.
Faculty: Most students have to resort to self-study because the professors are not very passionate about teaching. However, if you do good projects under a professor, you may be able to pursue a master's in a foreign university.
Placements: NIT Durgapur has recorded excellent placements. This year the highest CTC offered was INR 70 LPA while the average salary offered was INR 13.64 LPA. The top recruiters included TCS Ninja, PwC, ICICI Bank, Microsoft, and many others. More than 100 recruiters participated in the placement drive and 633 students were placed.
Opportunities: The NIT tag will open a number of opportunities for you and the alumni network is also quite extensive. You can also avail opportunities like workshops and clubs.
Campus life: The campus life is very active with many fun-filled events like the freshers' farewell party and celebration of regional festivals. Additionally, a number of cultural and technical fests are also held.
Administration : The administration is very slow and is not cooperative. You might face some issues.
Location : NIT Durgapur faces no major connectivity issues. The railway station is 30 mins or 14 km away while the nearest airport is at Andal, which isn't well connected, so Kolkata Airport will be a better option. You can find the Auto rickshaw stand just at the main gate.
