ABHIMANUE UDAYAN's Review On Visvesvaraya National Institute Of Technology - [VNIT], Nagpur

I have appeared for the IIT JAM exam conducted by IIT's for MSc admission in 2015. I got a rank of 441. I was in general category and I got admission IN VNIT Nagpur, because it was near to my home.

First of all note that this is a Applied physics department. Most of the faculties are from Material science field. Also the syllabus is material science oriented. Anyway there are 1-2 theoretical physics teachers. Anyway study load is less compared to other NIT's. And always, you can find some time to study the other topics you want.

For Msc students, no companies offer internship. But you can always apply for internship after 1 year, in IITs and TIFR, they offer around 8K, which you are going to spend for accommodation and food. No, stipend or scholarship for Msc.

For Msc Physics semester fees is 11,000/. Hostel + mess fees 33,000/-. Around 1.8L will be spend for completing the course. around 20 K you will get back as mess refund. The mess is expensive. The Hostel rent and other allied service is worth the money. If you can find a room outside and ready to cook, then it will be more better.

Hostel is good,you can get a single room. Rooms are actually okay, with good view of the lake. Also 4 seater rooms are available. Hostel+ mess fee is around 33,000 per semester. You cannot omit mess fee.

2 small exams of 15 marks, 1 big exam of 60 marks is conducted for every subject. Additional 10 marks is given as teachers assessment. Every month you will have an exam. All exams will be conducted as per the schedule.

The admission was conducted as per the IIT jam rank. If you were under 750 and belonged to general category, you could have got here. For other category students, 1500 was enough. There were vacant seats in our batch. This year the vacant seats were filled by conducting an another exam by the institute.

You can find all kind of teachers here. The highly motivating one, caring one, the careless one, the one you wonder how he got the job here. All kinds of teachers are there. If you want to finish the course, you have to tolerate some introvert teachers also. Neglecting one teacher I would say, the faculty is good.
