Ground reality of NIT SRINAGAR

The management is somewhat slow working and needs a reform in their working style for proper and timely disposal of services.

I opted for Nit Srinagar for two reasons One because it was in my home state Jammu and Kashmir and second because it was offering me a specialization in Mtech which no other college was offering at that Gate Score and I had few friends already studying in the college

The course curriculum requires revision with the introduction of some ongoing present scenarios in engineering and technology as the curriculum is somewhat old-fashioned but still better than many institutes and offering a variety of advanced topics.

No internship as such at masters level but yes it does provide internship at the bachelors level and I don't think any stipend is given for that purpose.

The placement record is very bad especially in the CIVIL and Mechanical Department as very few or none of the students is placed but as far as other branches are concerned like computer electronics electrical chemical, etc the placement record is fair with more than half of students placed.

The events celebrated include alumni meet, Sports week, freshers orientation, Techfest named Techvenga is also celebrated sometimes. Other small events are also organized from time to time by students and college administration. Students do participate in these events in good numbers

The fee structure is the bit on the higher side 75k for Btech per semester and 40k for m.tech per semester which is quite expensive but relaxation is given to students belonging to families below poverty line and scholarships are also made available to them to compensate the fee.

I was availed of GATE Scholarship of 12400 per month which is given by MHRD to all gate qualified students.

The campus life is good and the students love the snowfall in winters. The gender ratio is very low with very few girls in the campus as compared to a number of boys and the diversity is present there from Kashmir to Kanyakumari students from most of the state's study here.

The hostels are good and maintained well and cleaning is done on daily basis which is quite impressive and electricity is also present most of the time except in winters and the mess food is not of that good quality but certain steps are being made by mess committee with the support of students to improve the quality of food in mess.

Yes, senior students are always helpful in showing the right path as their advice can let one succeed academically as well as intellectually.

The exam structure is 30 marks in minor and 60 marks in major and 10 for internal assessment. In minor, there are most probably three questions of 10 marks each and in a major, there are 4 questions of 15 mark each and the level of examination is above par.

First, we need to clear entrance exam of GATE for admission in Mtech but the admission in BTech is based on IIT-JEE exam score. After clearing the required exam we need to undergo counseling for admission for which a body is established separately for both at BTech and Mtech level. In my case it was CCMT.

The faculty is well experienced and highly qualified from the reputed institutes of a national and international level. The faculty is also of very helping nature when it comes to doubt clearing but at Btech level most of the times contractual faculty is available for teaching which may not be good.
