My experience in NIT

Likes

I like the idea of clubs where we can share our ideas, thoughts. We can enjoy by doing our work which we are passionate about
I like the healthy competition between the people of different states. We can different people and know their culture
I like the way of teaching of professors

Dislikes

I didn't like the food in our hostel.it is too sweet.
We are getting permission for club events and fests.
There is no proper facilities in sports. We didn't have indoor games facility. We didn't have proper ground to play. Andthe size of SAC is too small.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Present I was persuing Mechanical Engineering in National institute of technology Durgapur. I was very much fond of Mechanical engineering from my childhood. I was interested in learning new things in a creative way . I was fond of bikes , cars and machines. The function of machines and their design. I was interested in learning about automobile and industries. So I selected Mechanical Engineering. We have labs where we do different types of experiments which are really helpful for us to understand what the professors are teaching in our class. By doing the experiments we ourselves can learn how they are working . Although we have labs bid equipment can not be placed there. So we can not learn about bigger machines used in industries. So it is better to take us to Industrial visit. So we can learn new things from there. How a industry can run and the sector that present in them and how the engines are prepared. For one year we have 2 semesters.For each semester we have a Mid , End exam

Good placement with good companies visiting our campus for hiring
Decent peers to work on skills and self improvement, some are quite competitive

Dislikes

Old curriculum and teaching methods are decent
Zone culture exists here which leads to college politics
Some people can be a bad influence on you due to certain habits . Iykyk.

Placement Experience:

Students can get internship from 4th semester itself. But major internships start from 5th semester and campus placement at 7th semester. The companies coming here are at par with other similar ranking nits , with Microsoft, jp Morgan, wells Fargo etc visiting our campus

NIT Durgapur overall review

Likes

The placements at our campus is really good because almost every student will be placed by the end of the Bachelors.
With the skills in sports you can participate in inter hall and inter NIT and we can get certificates
Lab facilities are really amazing like we can develop our practical knowledge through labs

Dislikes

Food provided in the canteen was not good

Placement Experience:

Students will be sitting for the placements right from their 5th semester. 3rd year students will get internship based on their scores and skills in their individual departments. More than 150 companies visit our campus every year and 700+ placements will be offered. Companies like Amazon hire more than 20 students every year with a package of 53 lakhs . I think the highest package is 80 lakhs in our campus only one person got this opportunity. Average package is about 9 lakhs in 2023. 87% students got placed in 2023. I am currently doing job after my BTech.

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.
