A critical review of NIIT

Good scholarship program. Disciplined lifestyle with a good teacher to student ratio and a placement based college approach. Research driven and I wanted UGC board. I got it due to 100% scholarship on academic fees but the bad aspect is that it has false advertisement and the crowd albeit less is not refined. Poor upper management and students don't have a lot of things to do there due to the remote location and restricted freedom in campus. I think over time it could change if the management changes and prioritises students welfare more.

Faculty is good, but retention capacity by management is poor which eventually leads to the faculty leaving or one faculty getting overburdened with multiple subjects. Teachers are student oriented but I wish there were more and different kinds of teachers. Overall the quality is above average.

Yes. I've worked with multiple companies and did multiple internships. However I cannot disclose. Sorry. My projects were based on backend coding, data science, cyber sec SOC, business analysis and sales. These are various types of projects I did in various companies

Campus placement is offered. You can do internships on the side if you want to. It's a part of the curriculum, your last semester is industrial practice so you need to get placed in order to get the experience. 100% placement is guaranteed because if you don't get placed you will be failed for that semester. So even if you are offered no money you have to work in a company just so you could clear your degree. highest package is by IMB 8lpa lowest is 0. Morgan Stanley (no idea of package, only internship) , EY 4lpa , genpact 8lpa , PWC 7lpa, thoucentric 8lpa , Cognizant 8lpa other small start up companies come.

I got 100% scholarship which was really amazing but then I realised so did 90% of students there. It's a marketing technique because the rules for retaining that scholarship is really tough and once it slips you basically can never back it up. The fees that comes after your scholarship is revoked is pretty high so it makes no difference if you get it here by scholarship or if you go to some other college without any scholarship. They have designed it in such a way that you're bound to lose it. Placement wise, they are pretty dedicated but the packages are really low. What's the point of getting placed but getting no salary. So the 100% placement criteria is petty misguiding.

Life at campus feels like a retirement home for old adults. It's pretty much dead. No activity. I was the club head for 2 clubs but participation always was low due to the less number of students and lack of exposure to extra curricular activities. Fests are good, the only highlight in college life. Sports is taken seriously. Infrastructure and management is pretty poor. Library is very well maintained and is resourceful. Students are the backbone of this college they do everything or ATleast try to make a better time.

Yes basic group discussion on a current topic and a face to face interview after a written test. Regardless of how you perform at the test admission is almost guaranteed. But if you want a scholarship it's better to perform well in these rounds so prepare in a manner you would for your JEE exam. I didn't prepare because I knew I would clear it as I had cleared examination of more difficult to get in colleges.
