NIT Durgapur: Mixed Feelings

Likes

Campus life, amenities, location, faculty

Dislikes

Placements, outdated syllabus, unsupportive administration

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements in the third year of study. It is to be noted that in third year they can apply only for internships and subsequent pre-placement offers, while in fourth year the option to apply for full-time opportunities becomes available. Reputed tech companies such as Microsoft, Samsung, NVIDIA, Oracle, Qualcomm, finance companies like JPMC, Wells Fargo, BNY Mellon are some of the companies which offer placements in Computer Science. Many Indian and startup companies also visit our college for placements. Highest CTC is 51 lpa from Microsoft followed by 40 lpa from Samsung. In our batch almost 60% students are placed. My plans after getting the degree is to get a job either in private or public sector.

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.
