Entrance Preview
For Civil Engineering NIT Silchar is one of the best colleges in India. The Department is strengthened by the very knowledgeable professors who are willing to teach and the best in class labs. The style of education used to very unique, where we as students were taken out on the field instead of being enclosed in classrooms all the time.
Course Curriculum Overview
Terrific course curriculum. It included all what we need to understand Civil Engineering spanning across all the sections - Geology, Structural Design, Roads and Transportation and Water Engineering. In addition to the traditional courses, the department also provides for an Unix Lab and encourages the students to innovate and start thinking about bringing Automation at a very early stage.
Internships Opportunities
Not that I am aware of. During our time, it did not, but maybe currently things might have changed because of some the alumnus run their own organizations which might give the students some opportunity.
Placement Experience
The placement & job opportunities are awesome owing to the effort put in by the placement cell. It has transformed over time. During our time, their were challenges with regards to Transport, however now things have changed. Each student mostly are offered more than one job and they usually pick one of them.

Fee Structure And Facilities
Absolutely Feasible. It also addresses the needs of the different income groups. The annual admission fee is below INR 50,000 and depending on the fact if the income of the family is lower, it might be as low as approximately INR 14,000 with nothing to be paid during the time of admission.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions
The College doesn't provide any scholarship, although students may avail from other sources in which student welfare department provide full support. Getting a loan is really easy here and the college authorities will also give full support. The is a SBI branch inside the college premises which makes the process of availing loan easier.
Alumni/Alumna
There is a registered Alumni Association. Alumni are the foremost important asset that a institution can give to its students. They are the reflection of the potential and the credibility of the institution. It would be a difficult task to shape a future without the guidance and encouragement of real experience that an alumni can give.NIT Silchar has taken the initiative to provide its students an opportunity to meet their alumni and hence an alumni association is formed.
Exam Structure
Each semester had exam which spanned over a period of 2-4 weeks. There were class tests which got added to the sessional score and they used to happen mostly once in 2 months. Instead of testing people and what they have learnt based on some routine exams, more focus was given on discussions and interactions so that the professors could understand where the gaps were and fill in those voids.
Admission
Through an entrance exam I was selected. A merit list was put up in the newspapers and we went for the final admission. A medical test was also conducted along with the other educational certificates were also done. The payment of fees and the allotment of hostels were done in the college campus and took no time as the process is quite efficient.
Faculty
I do feel that the college boasts of the best professors in Civil Department. They are usually invited by IITs for presenting papers and conducting some adhoc sessions. Some of the professors continue to be part of this institution because of their desire to educate the students well as they were alumnus from the same institution. I know of a professor who had given up on the job opportunities that he had got during his education tenure just because he dreamt of making his alma matter became one of the best in the country, a dream which I know he shared with all his colleagues and it feels great when I hear that currently Civil Engineering Department of NIT Silchar is one of the best, if not the best, in the country.
