Placement Experience

3.5

Placements in this college is good last year a senior got placed for 54 lakh this year I think the same happened and compared to last time the percentage of students getting placed decreased I guess overall one could find good job after coming to this college after all it is a college of national importance

Fees and Financial Aid

There is total of 8 sems with 1,74,750rs one should pay each semester this include tuition ,hostel ,travel etc.studens can get education loan for low interest rate 9% ig from this college.you can get scholarships too if you apply for one(i didn't apply for any so i dont know).in my knowledge there is no campus employment available

Campus Life

Campus life is average.the name of the tech fest is apoorv and it last for 3 days witch was good but still not as good as nit calicut or gov colleges. There are lot of tech clubs one can join but that too is avg not the best out there.library has all syllabus related books so u can have the resource to study(u can also get pdfs sent by faculty so normally students dont go to lib quite often).there is one football ground,one volleyball court,have 1 tt table in each hostel

Hostel Facilities

1.5

For first year students hostel vary for me I got good hostel with attached bathroom, for first sem I had 3 roommates,for 2nd I have 2 so hostel was pretty good for me.mess food is so bad u can only eat proper food for like 3 day(dinner) I a week the mess committee is so shut there is fight over there for like every day most of us eat food from outside

Hostel Fee: INR 26000 per year

An Honest review on my college MBCCET

Placement Experience:

The campus placements are decent. getting placed in a big company is more about having the technical and soft skills to pass the interviews. the placement training helps us develop soft skills but the technical skills must be developed ourselves.

Life at NITC by Vimosh Kumar

Placement Experience:

Students in 7th and 8th semester are eligible to sit for campus placements. Companies like Oracle, Goldman Sachs, L&T, Bajaj, Caterpillar and PSU's like BEL,HPCL and BPCL come to the college usually the coding companies offer aroung 35-40 LPA CTC and the core PSU companies offer around 17-18 LPA. Highest Package is 51 LPA and an Average Package of 12 LPA. Nearly 85% students from Circuit and CS branch get placed and around 60% in core branches who sit for placements, My plans after getting the degree is to join MBA to learn how business world works and how the money flows
