Questions Asked On NMIT, Bangalore

Hey there! I'm currently studying CSE at NMIT, and I have some buddies in ISE too, so I can give you a bit of insight. Our college is autonomous, which means it sets its own rules and curriculum, making it a step above other VTU colleges.

When it comes to CSE, I can honestly say it's the highlight of NMIT. Everyone is super supportive, from the lab assistants to the Head of the Department, Dr. MN Thippeswamy. They really listen to students and give us second chances if we mess up. The teaching is top-notch, with lots of knowledgeable faculty members. If you have real issues, the department is always ready to help out. On the other hand, ISE is known to be a bit more strict, and some of my friends in ISE feel the pressure.

Mysore is a nice city and NIE is a great college too, but considering Bangalore is the tech hub, I'd suggest prioritizing the city. If you have the option to choose between ISE and CSE at NMIT, I'd definitely recommend going for CSE.

From what I've seen and heard, NMIT stands out as a better choice compared to NHCE, especially if you're looking at B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering. The faculty there is really supportive and many have solid academic backgrounds. The placement opportunities are impressive, with top companies like Amazon and Microsoft recruiting regularly. The average package for CSE graduates is around 7 LPA, which is quite good.

NHCE also has its merits, but I feel like NMIT offers a more comprehensive curriculum and a better campus environment. Events like Anaadyanta really enhance the student experience, making it more fulfilling.

In summary, if you're choosing between NMIT and NHCE for engineering, I'd say go for NMIT, especially for Computer Science.

I think NITTE is worth considering for B.Tech in Information Science and Engineering. The college offers a good number of internship opportunities, which is vital for practical experience. The placement scenario seems promising, with many companies visiting campus. The average package is around 6 LPA, and for those who work hard, there are decent opportunities available.

The fee structure for my course is about 2.4 lakhs, which is manageable. I feel that the college provides a solid foundation for students looking to enter the tech industry.

If you're not from India, I would suggest reconsidering your decision to attend this college, and here's why. I'm a fourth-year student here, and I'm surprised at all the positive reviews. I have yet to meet anyone who actually likes it, including myself. You've probably read the good stuff by now, so let me share the challenges you might face if you choose to attend. Oh, and just so you know, I'm a Nepali student, so my experience might be different from a local student's.

There's a lot to cover, so this might get lengthy. Let's start with the hostel experience. The hostel rules are pretty odd, and it's good to know them beforehand. If you're a girl, expect a lot of gender-based restrictions. For instance, there’s a strict dress code: nothing shorter than ankle-length is allowed outside the hostel. Curfew times are also different for girls and boys. Boys can stay out until 10 pm, but girls must be back by 5:30 pm or 9:15 pm if they were already out. If girls want to go out after 5:30, they have to complete a bunch of paperwork. And if they come back after 5:30, they have to sign a log, which doesn’t exist for boys.

The food in the hostel mess is usually pretty bad, but I guess that’s common in many places. They did offer some special Nepali dishes for a short period, but it didn’t last long, despite what the promotional videos claim.

Now onto academics. It’s tough to find a good teacher who isn’t self-absorbed or moody and actually teaches well. While there are a few exceptions, most of what I learned came from YouTube and other sites, if you get what I mean.

Regarding semesters and exams, I'm in engineering, so here's my take: after the odd semester, you get about a week and a half off, and after the even semester, you get two and a half months. If you fail a subject, you must attend supplementary classes during the long break. For some students, there are makeup exams instead, but these are often announced just a day or two beforehand, leaving little time to prepare. If you fail the makeup, you’ll have to join the supplementary semester anyway.

You can request a re-evaluation if you think your exam was marked incorrectly, right after the results are out. Some faculty members are helpful, but when it comes to money matters, not so much. For instance, during the pandemic, we found out about a fee payment just a day before it was due. Being a Nepali student, online transactions aren’t possible, and we need a few days to arrange money transfers. When I asked the faculty about it, they ignored me, but suddenly remembered to ask if I paid after the due date. If you miss the payment deadline, the late fees are hefty.

It's not unusual for education to feel like a business, but here, the management is so poor that it feels like you should be paid to do their jobs. Both the faculty and facilities are below average for a college. This has been my experience at NMIT over the past three years.

Thanks for reading through this long post. I hope it helps, and feel free to share it with anyone who might need this info. If you thrive on challenges, NMIT might be just the place for you.
