Competitive programming has seen a tremendous growth in the NIT Jamshedpur campus over the years. Low academic pressure and quality students are the main reason behind this development.

The students of NIT Jamshedpur perform well in Codechef’s long challenges. A lot of students participate in them, and do well. Few reach the top 100 as well. The college has also seen an improvement in its performance in ACM ICPC. 

The CSE department is improving with the passage of time. Senior-junior interaction within the department is quite healthy. The college holds the annual tech fest by the name of Cognitio. PCON is the programming club of NIT Jamshedpur.Despite all of this, a lot of work remains to be done in Open Source Contribution, Hackathons, etc. 

Overall, the coding culture at NIT Jamshedpur is good, and continuously improving.

To rise up to the level of top engineering institutes in India, NIT Jamshedpur needs to work on its infrastructure, faculty and research initiatives.

The college needs infrastructural development. The CSE labs should be well equipped with the latest hardware and software. The other labs are comparatively in a better position, but the CSE department labs need serious updates.

The college faculty lacks a research oriented temperament. This needs to change, so that research culture is promoted among the students. The right faculty will provide necessary research guidance to the students in various disciplines.

The college needs to take up industry sponsored research projects. By doing so, students will acquire the necessary exposure. Moreover, these industries will facilitate the improvement of research facilities at NIT Jamshedpur. 

Despite the limitations of infrastructure and research facilities, the alumni of NIT Jamshedpur have successfully attained high positions in reputed firms over the years. This proves the caliber of the students of this institution. 

If NIT Jamshedpur works on these areas, along with the ones mentioned in a previous answer, we can expect to see tremendous growth in this institution in the coming years.

Yes, it's true that the deteriorating infrastructure of NIT Jamshedpur is the main reason it's not famous enough. However, there are many other pros that overshadow this flaw which students often overlook while choosing their institute 

• NIT Jamshedpur is located in the midst of a very big industrial area Adityapur which adds to its infrastructure 
• The workload is quite low and the attendance policies aren’t very strict so you have enough time to relax or pursue your passions.
• Excellent internship opportunities are offered by the Tata group of companies.
• The institute is surrounded by the lush greenery of Dalma hills which ensures a pleasant climate throughout the year. 

Overall, the poor infrastructure can be overlooked if you focus on the positives of the institute.
