Honest Review on NIT Puducherry

I think the course curriculum is very relevant for a specific branch. Also, now our college is one of the colleges that are following the new National Education policy. This policy provides us an advantage to learn about other branches also. Examination levels are also at medium and it is always conducted at the given time.

The internship opportunities is not good in our college. A very limited number of companies come to our college to give internship opportunities. But faculties are helpful, they can help you to get the internship. But at the end, you have to search for an internship. For our branch, internship companies give us projects like design a single-phase voltage controller, etc.

The placement of my college is decent. I can't tell it totally bad or very good. From 7th semester, students are eligible for campus placements. Placement statistics for 2023-2024 were like this, around 40 companies visited to our college some are names as ABB, Ford, Genpact, Kaleyra, Nvidia, Unacademy, TCS, Tesco, etc. Highest package was offered at 22 lakh per annum by Nvidia. And average package was around 7 to 8 lakh per annum. The percentage of students who got placed was 74%. My plans after getting degree is to get placed and do a job.

I think, my college fee structure is very similar to other NITs of India. It is around 70 thousand per semester for a BTech student. But fee remission system is also there for some needy students based on their caste and family income. I think 100% fee remission is there for the student whose family income is less than one lakh and 67% for the student whose family income is between 1 lakh to 3 lakh. The complete cost for a student who is paying the total amount without any remission is around 6 lakh. Till now, I have not been awarded any stipends.

Our college conducts several events like tech-fest, cultural fest, club fest, sports fest, and many festival celebration events. Our Tech-fest is named Gyanith which is generally conducted in the month of Feb-march and our cultural fest is named Lecial which is generally held in November. The library is very good and big. You can find almost every book on different subjects and also in different domains. Every classroom has basic things like a green board, very good quality benches, a projector, and clean floors. For sports, there is one basketball court, three volleyball court, two badminton courts, one cricket, and one football ground as well. There are also different kinds of clubs run by the college, like music club, dance club, literary club, arts and craft club, gaming club, photography club and many more.

Room facilities are somewhat good. Rooms are big and every room has windows, tables, beds, and drawers. For the first year, their rooms have AC but it is not there for second, third, or fourth years. That is a drawback of the hostel facility. Mess meal quality is ok ok, personally, I don't like it. Also there is not any separate mess for north people, so this is also a drawback. The registration process for the hostel is also very easy, only we have to pay the hostel fee to the government website and submit the receipt to the hostel office. Rooms are always available there. There is also a system that you can leave the hostel and you can live outside the college and you can come to the college as day scholar.

The admission process was quite simple and the same as what we did in our 10th and 12th class. For taking admission to an NIT college, you need to qualify JEE Mains exam conducted by the Indian government. I have taken the EEE branch in my college, and my general category rank in JEE mains was 42000. So i can tell that, for taking EEE branch in NIT Puducherry you need to come under at least 45000 All India rank. But some reservations are also there for general EWS, OBC, ST and ST students. Home state quota is also there for home state students.

The faculty members are somewhat average, with a mix of teaching quality. While some professors are highly knowledgeable, but others are not at the same standard. Some faculties are very supportive in nature and interact with us very well.
