Manish Sharma's Review On National Institute Of Technology - [NIT], Kurukshetra

Make the environment more free and stop politics between the faculty, so that the collaboration betweem them give us the actual output for which the NITs were opened.

I opted for M.Tech in Machine Design from Mechanical Engineering Department. The got admission on the basis on GATE (ME) exam, in which my GATE Score was 477 and AIR was 2823. I had the option of Thermal Engineering also in NIT as well as few other options, but I choose this as I want to the research in the area of Design.

As far as course curriculum was considered, it was very good. The courses of CAD, Adv Vibrations, App Numerical Analysis, CFD etc are very good if someone want to go for research in the design area.

For M.Tech there were not been any company came for internship, though a few from nanotechnology were successful to arrange the internship in research labs by themselves.

M.Tech were mostly been considered for teaching only though a few companies came like M&M, TCS, L&T etc and about 15-20 students from different specializations were placed.

There were different activities takes place round a year in the campus, like the cultural fest confluence (also known as Conflu) and the techno-managerial fest techspardha (also known as Literati). Team from nothern india as well as from other NITs and IITs came there to participate and showed there talent.

Hostels were good and affordable (rent of just Rs 500 p.m.) though LAN with download speed upto 1.5 MBPS were available, but Wifi area was very limited (not in the hostels).Fooding was not upto the mark, being a member of Mess committee I tried alot for improving it, but not been successful.

Most of the loans and scholarship facilities were available for sc/st only. I was not being aware of any scholarship for General category students.

Campus life was the one which could have been best for any collegiate.Lots of sports, extracurricular activities were held round the year in which students participate and recreated themselves.Technical events, cultural activities were also being held once in a month, and during cultural fest they were at the top i enjoyed alot during my course time gender ratio was about 1:2, boys being more.

Its not as much as it would have been though in a year, a few news regarding the happenings were mailed, but its not good for an institution of national level status.

The faculty was above average but a few of them are not have the zeal and enthusiasm for giving the knowledge in a better and efficient way.
