Remarks
The college management is a fine one which intends to keep the curriculum up to date, well according to the industrial demands and though it is a bit conservative, it provides a healthy and safe environment for the students.
Entrance Preview
I gave JEE-2014 and I scored a low 140s. My priority was computers then IT and then EC. The simple reason I had these in my mind, because of the fact that I didn't want to do a field job. Also, nirma has a very good reputation in these three fields and thus being my obvious choice.
Course Curriculum Overview
Till the point that I was studying, batch of 18, our curriculum lacked the edge that was in the field of our branch. Though facilities used the many projects and presentations and assignments to teach what's the buzz in the market, still many are left out. Though, the university is going to make a change in the curriculum and address this issue.
Internships Opportunities
Another brilliant thing that the university will offer you is internships. Dedicated faculties and the strong alumni network is the backbone of this part of the curriculum. In my branch, students get the chance to work with the Giants of the field like Intel, Nvidia, and NXP.
Placement Experience
This exactly where nirma earns it name. The placements of many branches are the best and the students will get enough companies to see their future with. But the problem comes to the ones who don't get enough placement offers. CS, IT and EC are amongst the top 3 to get wonderful placement season meanwhile others are not so great. And average packages in the top 3 branches range from 4-7 lakhs
College Events
There are two major tech fest, out of which one is organized by a student activity group, and other one is done by the entire institute of technology. Those being of fairly good quality, certainly not the biggest of fests but yes, a very creative ones. Then there are the cultural fests, one being Gujarat's biggest which pools in a crowd of 6-7000 people across Gujarat and is the best platform to develop wonderful skills.
Fee Structure And Facilities
Currently, you can expect it to be a bit higher than most of the private colleges that are around. Also, since no hostel is there, that costs you extra. But in return you get a good brand value to your degree, of course not the best but surely a well respected one. Otherwise, there are no extra lifestyle related costs as such.this being applicable only to B.tech
Fees and Financial Aid
There are many scholarships available, from the ones that are offered by the government to the ones that nirma personally offers. One of the best things that nirma provides is a facility called book bank, where in you can get books from library for the entire semester saving a lot of money.
Campus Life
The campus life is one of the best in Gujarat! There are wonderful student activity groups which organises multiple fests and sports events around the year. Also, nirma has participated in number of national level tournaments in various sports. The gender ratio is fair in some branches and opportunities are not biased according to gender or any other kind of discrimination. Nirma has a very strict anti raging policy, and is one of the safest campuses in the country.
Hostel Facilities
For B.tech, there are no hostels. But for other P.G programs as far as my knowledge is, the condition is top notch. And the food served is pretty cheap and are full of variety. The standards are very high and the university strictly checks the hygiene when the food is served.
Alumni/Alumna
Amazing! That's one of the special things about the college! There are enough student activity groups that a the relationship between the Juniors and seniors becomes a close one. Also, nirma itself focuses on maintaining a strong alumni network organising alumni meet at cetra from year to year!
Exam Structure
The exam structure is a pretty intense one. The mid terms and class test are taken consecutively, two on a single day, and thus takes a lot of preparation to see them through, meanwhile the semester ends are also taken pretty quickly. Definitely leaving the students with a hectic time to look forward to.
Admission
Well, it's a merit based system where you have to login into the nirma website, upload the details and the required documents and then the college will call for counseling. In it, your merit rank would be displayed and the branch that you can get would be there. There would be 3 rounds in which you might get an opportunity to upgrade your branch.
Faculty
The facilities are well experienced and knowledgeable. But there's a problem with communication. There are many faculties who can't explain the topic they know so well, in the classroom. But in person, they surely have the caliber to present a solution to your problem. Though, in some branches, due to lack of faculties the burden is shifted to those with less knowledge of the subject, but still they try their level best to deliver fine content.
