Additionally, the institution recognizes the importance of supporting students financially and offers various avenues for scholarships, financial assistance, and campus employment opportunities.
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.

Bengals 2nd Best

Likes

The infrastructure is really nice. The classrooms are huge and the labs are well equiped.
The people and the faculty here is very nice and helpful.
The course curriculum is very industry relevant the new director is trying to raise the placement stats.

Dislikes

The management can be very unhelpful at times.
There are far too many restrictions for first year students to avoid getting ragged
Infrastructure although great is not well maintained. Grasses are not cut on time etc.

Placement Experience:

The student gets eligible after passing the 5th semester as summer internships start. There atleast 100 it companies visit every placement season and 500+ offers were made. The highest package offered was 70LPA to a mechanical branch. Around 75 percent of students gets placed every season. My plan after doing the degree is to have a corporate job in US.

NIT Durgapur Unpacked

Likes

The academic building has a very nice architecture of its own and along with that there is a new auditorium which is very good and spacious.
The hostels have a good infrastructure with a good living arrangement and the hygiene is also maintained properly.
The classrooms are well maintained with good seating capacity and are very spacious with good lighting and air conditioning facilities.

Dislikes

The restrictions for the first year students are very irritating and it may seem to you that you are a prisoner trapped in a cell.
The system of mics and speakers used in the classroom is not configured properly and there should be a digital board in such large classrooms instead of the conventional chalk and blackboard.
The ground which is at the entrance of the college should be maintained for conducting any sports activities and the gym should be well equipped with new equipment's and its size should also be increased..

Student Snaps:

NIT DURGAPUR

Likes

Campus, its lust green and has many facilities needed for the students.
Auditorium, it's newly built and is very comfortable.

Dislikes

Restriction, due to a recent case of ragging the 1st year are not allowed to leave the hostel without any escort.
Surrounding areas, the surrounding areas are not much populated and consists of open fields so it feels boring outside the campus.

Placement Experience:

From the 3rd year, all the students become eligible for campus internships and from 4th year all students become eligible for campus placements. The companies that visit the campus for placements are BPL, Microsoft, JP Morgan etc and most students get placement from the campus. The highest package that was offered last year was 70lpa and the average package of btech is 13lpa. The percentage of students that got placements is around 85 overall. For now, I don't have any plans after getting the degree and only want to have a job in a good company. Later my views may change.

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.
