NIT Raipur Review

I was interested in Information Technology one of my neighbours who was a pass out from NIT Raipur suggested me the college name. During my research, I found that NIT Raipur is one of the oldest engineering colleges in India and is very popular for its engineering courses and the faculty of the college are also highly qualified. The candidate must qualify GATE exam and must secure 60% (55% marks for SC.ST/PWD students) marks in B.Tech in a relevant discipline. Then the candidate has to appear for CCMT counselling and has to feel an application form by submitting Rs. 2500/- and Rs. 2000/- for SC/ST/PWD students. After the allotment of the seat, the student has to pay fee allotment fees Rs. 30000/- for Gen/GEN/OBC/EWS and Rs. 10000/- for SC/ST/PwD candidates.

The curriculum of the college without a doubt is of the highest industrial standards. The curriculum is regularly updated according to the latest industrial norms so that students are aware of the industrial changes. The curriculum is a blend of traditional and modern techniques so that students' interest in studies is maintained.

The internship is part of the curriculum but students who are involved in any kind of research or project work can skip internships. The college placement committee work as a guiding force for students to identify companies for internship. Companies like Google, Infosys, Wipro, Amazon are part of the internship programs. The stipends during the internship depend on the company internship police and the stipends range from Rs. 15000/- to Rs. 96000/- according to the tenure of internship.

The college provides a 100% placement record. The placement committee is very hardworking and professional and is able to attract a good number of companies on the campus for placement. The highest package for the batch was around 18 LPA and the average package was around 10 LPA. I also received a package of 11 LPA from Google. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Barclays, Oracle, Wipro, Siemens, Adobe, Fiat, TATA, Reliance, etc visited the campus during the placement drive of the college.

The college provides scholarships to merit students. The scholarship for SC/ST/PD students is also available. Students can also apply for scholarships from National Scholarship Portal and can avail national scholarship facility allotted to NITs. To know about the eligibility criteria of the scholarship program of the college you can visit the official website of the college.

The campus life of the college is good. More focus of the faculty is towards academic studies. There are 5 fests E-Summit by Entrepreneurship Cell- about the industrial changes in the industry, Aavartan by Technocracy- technical fest, Samar by Shaurya (Sports Committee)- sports competition, Shruti by Raagaa (Music Club)- music festival, and Eclectika by Cultural Club-cultural fest. TEDx talk is also organised by the college. The college provides an ample environment for learning. The library is full of books from all types of authors academic and non-academic. The campus life of NIT Raipur is brilliant.

The rooms are big and spacious. The rooms are cleaned every day and student hygiene is taken care of. the hostel warden and the hostel staff are very cooperative. The hostel is very well maintained and clean. The mess food is good the menu is very vast. The rooms are equipped with beds, study tables and separate almirahs for every student. The hostel also has 24 hours high-speed WiFi facility. The hostel is equipped with all kinds of basic facilities and according to the comfort of students. The only drawback of the hostel is that it is limited and only merit students are given hostel seats.

The faculty f the college are highly qualified. Most of the faculty and of PhD level with a research background. The college does not compromise the quality of the faculty. The faculty helps students in the research work. The faculties are masters of their subject they blend the traditional and modern techniques of studies in a way that students can understand every concept very easily.
