Likes

The new academic block has good facilities and equipments, suitable for the students and teachers.
Library facilities are better for the reading environment and to study
The club events and hackathons that takes place in college are very much enjoyable and learning of very new things in them

Dislikes

The food given in the hostels are pretty much worse than the food we get outside. It needs to be improved.
Some teachers doesn't have to approach to teach easily to students. They don't make it understandable to us.

Placement Experience:

From 7th semester students are eligible for the campus placements during the summer holidays for the final everyone should perform a compulsory internship at a company or a vocational training with credits of 2. Many companies visit our college, the texus instruments , Microsoft, ICICI bank and many other well known companies visit for placement. The highest package will be around 60-70 lakh every year the values may change. Around 75-80% of the students in our branch will get placed. I plan to work in core mainly embedded systems after my degree

Placement Experience:

Placement offers are good 13.8 lpa avg package. But most of the tech companies selectively comes for cse, ece and ee branches and the opportunity fir kower branches are low so branch matters. 187 companies cames i guess or it may be 300 but you can apply off campus too if you like

NIT DURGAPUR CSE REVIEW

Likes

The campus is great and awesome scenic beauty.
The peers are the best part about this college. I get to engage with lots of brilliant minds of this country.
The curriculum is pretty rigorous and challenging hence enjoyable.

Dislikes

The mess food is pretty average to bad .
The authority is not that supportive, this year only our fest ,Recstacy , got cancelled.
Some of the rooms have only 1 fan hence it is really hot in the summer.

Placement Experience:

We become eligible for campus placements from 7th semester onwards. But in case of internships we become eligible from 5th semester. The placements have been hampered because of recession but still many companies visited our campus for campus placements for the session 2023-24 such as Microsoft,Wells Fargo, Accenture ,Reliance,TCS and so on. Around 540 students are placed till now. With the highest on campus package being around 50lpa. After getting my degree my plan is to work in my dream company, as such I have no intention of pursuing higher studies.

Likes

Good academic environment. The curriculum ensures quality education amongst the students be it in engineering disciplines or core domains like Maths, Physics, Humanity etc.
Peer culture among students is extremely good. Be it coding culture or GATE culture, the competition amongst peers is highly stiff and this peer competition yields better student output.
Good alumni network. We have SAI cell which helps to keep alma maters connected with the students who can guide the students for the betterment of their future careers.

Dislikes

Sometimes some professors are strict. Many professors teach well but some of them are just too rigid and not student friendly.
Extracurricular activities are also preached in the college but the clubs which recruit these students, do partiality with some of the students, debarring them from performing the same. Club auditions can be partially harsh for some students.

Placement Experience:

For On Campus Internships, a handful of companies come in the 4th-5th sem break. Companies start to come for internships from 5th semester onwards. Upto 6th semester, companies come for internships and there is an opportunity for the intern students to get a PPO. Apart from that, from 7th semester onwards primarily, on campus placements start and different companies and recruiters reach to the CDC and hire students.

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.
