Shaban Barbhuiya's Review On NIT Silchar, Silchar

To get into this college I appeared for SAT and My core was 1960/2400. In this particular score this was the best college I could get with the best branch.

Our course curriculum is very vast. In first year we read the basic subjects of all branches of Engineering and Humanities. The specialization begins from second year. We have some core subjects some semi-core subjects, for example, I am in the department of Electronics & Communication Engineering.

Yes, NIT Silchar provides internship during summer. The interns are not given any stipend except a minor book allowance may be but they are given hostel with 24x7 internet facility and electricity. Most internship are project based or they have research profile. The teachers who mentor for internship are mostly professors of 10+year experience. So doing internship under their tutelage is a blessing for all.

The training and placement cell of the college is very active. Throughout the year we have companies coming in for placements and all. For last two years the placement of Computer Science & Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering is near one hundred percent and for other branches most people don't go into core sector but end up in IT with an average salary of 3-4 LPA.

There are some student who enjoy the benefits of scholarships inducted by the government. For example for people of North East there are scholarship, so are for Dalits and all. Based on the performances we are given scholarships in internships like SN Bose Scholarship and IAS scholarships.

NIT Silchar faces a huge disparity in gender ratios with boys making up almost 90% of the total enrolled students. There is a huge diversity of ethnicity in the college with students belonging to every corner of country and few other parts of the world. This gives us the opportunity of attending so many festivals and celebrations.

There are 8 boys hostels and 9 girls hostels in NIT silchar for B.Tech students. First year and third year boys get a choice of single rooms or sharing rooms with up to 2 room mates. Second year boys get sharing rooms and Final year students get single rooms by default. The quality of accommodation can be deemed as above average with spacious rooms, well equipped bathrooms and mess halls.

We have a Alumni Cell and a department of Alumni Affairs too. Every year we have an Alumni Meet where alumni of different years are invited and they give presentation and all and interact with students and faculties. The Alumni network deals with keeping good relations with past students and this helps in the recruitment as well sometimes.

Per semester there are two main exams, The Mid-Semester exam and End-Semester exam. The Mid-Sem are of 30 marks per subjects nd End-Sems are of 50 marks. There is an 20 marks internal which is given based on the classroom performance of the students like attendence, quizes and projects etc.

There was first an online counselling on which we were asked to mark the colleges we want to apply in and the administrative board of NIT Autonomous council gives us the options based on our SAT score, I entered this college through DASA and the selection of the college was done based on SAT score.

Most faculties are supportive in nature. The younger teachers are quite friendly with us. Not only they support us in subjects but also time to time motivate us to focus on side curriculum like projects and all. The PhD scholars who are responsible to take tutorial classes and provide teaching assistance in labs are very young, passionate and full of fire.
