Anonymous's Review On National Institute Of Technology - [NIT], Jamshedpur

I was always passionate about science things, since NIT is a brand name and i couldn’t make it to any good IIT, this is the best option i was left with. The college was close to my home town and the placements were great.

At my point of being in the institute, there was a huge crunch for faculties. So, only a couple of subjects were taught in a good way. A.K.Singh sir specially taught us brilliantly the Control System Engineering. But yes, we do have the opportunity to go to industries for hands on experience as we were in the city of Tatas

I interned with Tata Steel. It was a campus selection process for PPO. My summer internship (Aspire) was of two months. I was an intern in mills and utilities department. The stipend was 20k for two months.

Since NIT has a brand name of itself, many companies ranging from manufacturing, service sector, finance sector etc visits our college every year. Some of the huge tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon also visits the campus. The placement is almost 100 percent in all the departments except Civil, Production and metallurgy. We also have a very strong alumnus base but they are not that much of use.

The campus life was simply great. And there were too many clubs and society to choose from. Literary society, dramatics, art and craft.etc. As well as technical societies from BAJA and SAE. So anyone interested in extra curricular activities, welcome to NIT JSR. We had two main fests ojass(tech fest) and utkarsh (cultural fest) and those were huge. Singers like javed ali has visited our campus. Om puri, mandira bedi, in the tech fest, to name a few. And the participation is huge as well due to the alluring prize money.

I was fortunate enough to have won OPJEMS scholarship when I was in my second year. It was a cash prize of 80k along with a silver medal for excellence in academics. I did avail a loan from SBI RIT which is inside the college only. The process was very easy.

Infrastructure was poor to average. The hostel facilities were great because it was renovated the year we joined. Apart from that we rarely went to the library due to a very poor librarian who used to curse everyone (hopefully, now she is removed). Yes, the best part was we have LAN connection throughout of hostels. The labs were also in poor state but somehow it was manageable. Coming to the sports equipment it was okay okay. We dint have many indoor sports but towards the end, college started to have many tournaments including hockey as well.

I opted for th hostel. For girls it was always on twin basis. The hostel rooms were well ventilated. We had Wi-Fi and LAN ports. Cupboard for both, along with tables. It had a common space where there were games like TT and carrom. A common varandah was there as well and had a badminton courts outside the hostel but inside the hostel premises. The mess was attached with the hostel so it was very convenient to move around and have fun.
