Faculties are highly experienced with great knowledge and some of them have good teaching and mentorship style.
The classes are also very nice, the library is beautiful, well organized and peaceful.

Dislikes

We get information about scholarships, they are not interested in giving scholarships to poor students like us.
I disliked the lack of facilities in college sports, or music room facilities gym and all and mess is also not good
There is one almirah and one table and one bed provided in the hostel but the mess is really not good which was a problem in every college.

NIT Durgapur - Overall Review

Placement Experience:

The college placement process starts from somewhere around mid-September of our 7th semester. Companies like Capgemini, ZS, Collegedunia, Accenture, Deloitte, and many others come to our campus for recruiting full-timers. Microsoft, Amazon, JPMC hire interns to whom they provide pre-placement offers once their internship is completed.

About NIT Durgapur

Placement Experience:

The placement is quite good. For our course or for PG students we are eligible to sit in the placements from the 3rd semester. But some of the students also prefer to go for higher studies instead of making placements. Many companies visit the campus every year like Microsoft, Paytm, TCS, Amazon, Cognizant etc. The highest package for PG students offered last year was 32 lacks.

NIT Durgapur: Face the realities of life and have a good time along the way

Remarks:

NIT Durgapur is an Institute of National Importance. Along with that, the NIT tag is very valuable after graduation. I also was getting CSE here, which was something I wanted to pursue since I was a child. The institute is close to home, so travelling to and fro is not much difficult. The hostels are a bit old but new ones are being built. Durgapur as a city has most of the facilities and amenities one can ask for, but it is not a metropolitan city, something that one needs to keep in mind. It is also pretty clean and green.

Placement Experience:

The placements are great, a lot of companies and organizations come for campus placements throughout the year and offer all kinds of roles for everyone's requirement. Also, internship opportunities are there. Higher packages go up to around 14-18 LPA approximately. And most average is around 6 LPA. Mass companies also visit for hiring many students. The percentage of students getting placements is dependent on course, computer science students 70-80% get placed by the end of the year. After getting the degree my plan was to work and get on-field experience which is what I'm doing.

A good college to get graduated.

Placement Experience:

Students in the final year (7th & 8th sem) are eligible for job placement and students in the pre-final year (5th & 6th) are eligible for internships. Most of the large companies like Microsoft, Goldman Sach, JP Morgan Chase Co, Amazon etc. offer PPO after internships and so the placement really gets start with the 5th sem. I have listed few companies above and there are lot more companies such as TCS, Wipro, L&T, Capgemini and a few PSUs too that visit the campus. No. of offers varies from company to company and thag also depends on the company's requirements. The highest package is around 27-30 LPA and average is of 5-6 LPA. Variety of profiles are offered from Analyst, Sales professional to GET. More than 90 percentage of students of CSE and IT branches gets placed while the Civil and Biotechnology students gets lowest placement around 50 percent and taking average to 75 percent of students from a batch gets placed in the respective year.

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.
