What are some good things and bad things about MNIT Jaipur?

I graduated from MNIT Jaipur, so I think I can share some insights.

If you're thinking about joining for CSE or ECE, you might want to reconsider because the coding culture is practically non-existent. However, for other branches, it's a solid choice.

Pros:

• The campus is stunning and centrally located in Jaipur, with malls and parks nearby.
• You'll enjoy good hostel and nightlife.
• The campus has AC classrooms, a library, a bank, ATMs, and a post office.
• Hostels also have LAN and WiFi.
• The food is average.
• For CSE/ECE/EE students, companies like Apple, Salesforce, D.E. Shaw, and top US banks do come for recruitment.
• In Mechanical, PSUs like BPCL, GAIL, IGL, and top automobile companies visit as well.

Cons:

• There's no real coding environment or interaction between seniors and juniors.
• Big companies like Microsoft and Google don't come for recruitment.
• Only a few top product-based companies show up.

Positives about MNIT Jaipur have been covered well by others, so I'll focus on the downsides here. I studied CSE in the general category at MNIT, and my experience with placements wasn't great, motivating me to share this review.

If you're the type who follows teachers without question, this might not apply to you. But if you're really into a specific technical area, keep reading.

In the first year, we had subjects like Engineering Design, Mechanical and Electrical Fundamentals, Electronics Communications, Logic Design, Physics, and Chemistry. As a student who was excited about coding, I found these subjects unrelated to my interest in computer science.

It wasn't until the 6th semester that we started learning about topics like JAVA, Web Development, App Development, or Machine Learning, which are essential skills in CSE. As a result, my CGPA was below 7 before the 7th semester, and I didn't get placed through campus recruitment.

My mistake was focusing solely on coding and not enjoying subjects like CAED. But now, I'm working at a multinational company, so it's all good in the end.

Here's what I think could be improved:

• More freedom for students to choose their subjects.
• Teachers should ease up on the strict 75% attendance rule.
• The heavy load of assignments should be reduced as it puts too much pressure on students.

I'll share more details about the drawbacks later because some issues are often overlooked. If you're passionate about coding, you might find NIT Kurukshetra a better fit since they cover DS, ALGO, OS, DBMS, and Web Development by the second year.

Honestly, the academic system at MNIT needs improvement!

Thanks for reading.
