I chose Kamla Nehru Institute of Technology for my B.Tech in Information Technology mainly because of its affordability and decent placement rates. The curriculum is relevant, and while some subjects feel a bit repetitive, the overall teaching quality is good. The faculty is supportive, and they often help us prepare for exams, which consist of two class tests and a final semester exam.
The placement opportunities are quite good, especially for IT, with companies like TCS and Infosys frequently visiting. Overall, I’m satisfied with my decision to study here, as I believe I’m gaining the skills needed for the industry.
Studying Civil Engineering at Kamla Nehru Institute of Technology has been quite satisfactory for me. The curriculum is well-structured, and the faculty members are highly qualified, making the learning experience enriching. The exams are spaced out nicely, with two class tests and a semester exam, which gives us enough time to prepare.
Placement rates are decent; many of my seniors have secured jobs with good companies like TCS and Wipro. The scholarship opportunities also help reduce the financial burden, making it easier for students from various backgrounds to pursue their education here. Overall, I feel I've made a good choice in coming to this college.
Background Info: I'm a third-year CS Engineering student at NMAMIT, Nitte.
What do I think about NMAMIT? Let me break it down into two parts. This is all from my own experience, so it's not for everyone.
Before I joined NMAMIT:
Me: Hey, what do you think I should choose, XYZ or NMAMIT?
XYZ is a well-known college around here, ranked 14th, while NMAMIT is 37th according to Careers360 in 2017.
Friend: I'm glad you've narrowed it down to two!
Me: Yeah, so what's your advice?
Friend: Go for XYZ.
Me: Why though? You always wanted to do CS at NMAMIT. Now that I have the chance, why not?
Friend: Why go to NMAMIT and be far from your family, especially when XYZ isn’t a bad choice?
Me: Swati and I want to enjoy hostel life. XYZ seems like the obvious choice, and tons of my friends are going there.
Friend: That's why you should pick XYZ! But do what you like. Just don’t blame me later if you regret it.
Me: Alright, NMAMIT it is.
Friend: As if you'll even get in with your rank.
Me: Watch me.
Swati and I got into NMAMIT, Nitte through KCET.
Friends from PU college: NMAMIT? Nitte? Where even is that? In Karnataka? Never heard of it! Why go there when XYZ is here with folks from Expert and Alva’s joining? You’re crazy.
Us: It’s not as bad as you think. Plus, the beaches are super close. Enjoy your time in Hubli.
Them: It's about your future and job prospects, not just fun.
Us: Oh, right.
Parents of friends: NMAMIT, Nitte? Never heard of it. Oh, K. S. Hegde’s? I know the hospital. Is it a good college? And why CS? That’s not even core engineering. Didn’t your parents say anything? It’s your career!
Us: Oh!
Relatives: Hostel? You’re your parents’ only child! What will they do without you? Hostels aren’t like home. You'll have to manage everything on your own! Kids these days, I swear.
Us: We want to be independent.
Conclusion: Choosing a college that no one at home knew about was a huge decision. Sometimes, people’s comments scared us, but we started our education at Nitte anyway.
After joining NMAMIT:
People at NMAMIT: All the way from Hubli? Feel at home here. Ask if you need anything. Language won’t be an issue. You’ll pick up Tulu fast. Welcome to Nitte.
A few days in and it was great: lots of greenery, a friendly hostel vibe, no ragging, and a good place to achieve things.
Three years later:
Friends in Hubli: Wow, you started a company, published tech papers, took part in national hackathons, and even wrote a book? How?
Us: That's what NMAMIT is like!
Them: Really? Is the college that good?
Us: Want us to explain it?
Them: But not everyone at Nitte is like you, right?
Us: It’s about following your dreams at Nitte. Some are great singers, some are amazing dancers, some focus on aerospace, while others excel in academics and sports. The college helps you reach your goals.
Them: Any regrets about choosing NMAMIT?
Us: Only when we got sick and missed our moms. But we had caring friends, wardens, and teachers.
After the student exchange program:
Friends in Hubli: Japan? Ritsumeikan University? That’s cool.
Us: Yep.
Them: We’re going to the US for a similar program. Admit it, our college is better.
Us: Japan or the US, it’s the exchange that counts! So, what’s the cost for you?
Them: x lakhs. And you?
Us: Not a rupee.
Them: Really? All expenses paid?
Us: Yep! That’s NMAMIT for you.
In conclusion: I’ve never regretted choosing this college. I can’t speak for other branches at NMAMIT since I don't know them well, but for CS, it's fantastic. The lecturers are top-notch, friendly, and experienced. The Head of the Department is incredibly supportive. We’re lucky to be here and owe much of our success to this college.
That's quite a broad question, and you'll likely hear a range of opinions from different folks. However, some things are pretty consistent across the board, and I'm sure of it. First off, the internet access is fantastic here. Unlike private colleges where it's often limited, you get unlimited access, which is a big plus.
The student community is quite diverse, too. You'll meet all sorts of people, from those who might not be the sharpest to those who are incredibly smart, each bringing something unique to the table.
I won't go into details about the buildings, infrastructure, or academics since I'm part of the community and don't want to critique it too harshly.
In general, if you've got skills, this place can be quite good. Many seniors have scored jobs at big companies like Amazon and done well in exams like GATE, CAT, and others. If you didn't make it through JEE, this isn't a bad option at all.
Kamla Nehru Institute of Technology has been a mixed bag for me as a student of Electronics Engineering. The curriculum feels a bit outdated, and while the faculty is generally knowledgeable, I think they need to focus more on practical applications rather than just theory.
Exams are manageable, with two mid-semester tests and one final exam, but I feel there could be more hands-on learning experiences provided. As for placements, it’s quite competitive, especially for core branches; many of my peers from CSE and IT are getting decent offers, while we in Electronics have fewer opportunities.
Overall, it's a decent experience, but I wish for more modern updates in the curriculum.
