Review as a Fresher at NIT Kurukshetra

I feel like sustainable energy is something which is one of the most growing sectors of the world right now and we need to understand how important it is for us to go forward sustainably. I chose this because it was a unique subject and opened opportunities for me in many companies. The teaching is going fine and the tests are happening once a month which are usually 20 marks only and last 50 minutes. These tests can be easily cleared by giving a day or two for preparation before the exam.

As a first year student, the college has not provided us with any internships yet but the students here have been offered mentorship offers for the upcoming aspirants in their coachings which have a stipend starting from 1500 per hour

The placement and job opportunities provided here are good. There is a mininum of 4 LPA in every branch and the highest package this year went to Microsoft with 3 recruitments worth 51 lacs per annum. The top recruiters were google, microsoft, NVIDIA, Winzo etc. The average placement percentage was 80-90% and the average package was 11 LPA. There is a CGPA based eligibility criteria at about 7.2 CGPA to sit for placements. My personal plans are moving abroad for higher studies like MBA

Firstly there are two advance payment made during te admission process for mess charges + electricity which is ?40,500 and there is ?32000 which is the outstanding fee after the fee for JOSAA or CSAB is deducted. In the yearly fee which is total of ?2,00,000 out of which ?1250000 is tuition fee per year, ?2500 alumni fee, ?1000 student welfare fee (onetime), ?1600 registration fee (onetime), ?5600 of watch and ward expenses (onetime), ?2400 convocation fee (onetime), ?700 library fee (onetime), ?8600 security deposit (refundable), ?10,000 seat rent fee per year and ?8000 as room rent per year. This is the fee for students with annual family income > 5 lacs. For income between 1-5 lacs, the fees is ?1,00,000 per year For income less than equal to 1 lac, the fees is ?64,000 per year

The social life here is great as far as i have experienced. There are multiple clubs for every hobby be it singing, dancing, drama, aeromodelling, social work etc. The sports facilities is the region where are college leads, there are multiple sports like basketball, cricket, football, swimming, badminton, volleyball, athletics etc. and each hostel has also been provided with its own volleyball and badminton courts. The library here is full of books and the best part is students dont need to purchase their course books and the library will issue the books to students for 6 months. There is one main fest called Confluence every year in October while there are two more fests called Utkarsh (Hindi Cultural fest) and InnovShetra (Technical Fest)

The rooms here for the first year male students are triple sharing while the girls hostel is just single rooms for all the girls. The choosing of roommates is random and done using a lucky draw in the starting. The mess food is average. It is usually a balanced diet including one dal, one sabji, roti and rice. There are also sweet dishes served some days of the week like Kheer and milk is also provided at nights but is chargeable

I scored 97 percentile in JEE Mains 2024 and got a decent amount of college options to choose from. I chose this course as it was unique, the college had a brand value and it was near to my house which i prefer. I had recieved a confirmed admission from BITS Pilani in Mechanical Engineering but didnt go there as I felt like there is more return on investment in my current college. The average package here goes up to 11.9 lacs per annum which is the same as BITS Pilani Mech. The eligibility criteria here is scoring above 96 percentile in JEE Mains for a general category male.

There are a lot of course options like VLSI and sustainable energy technologies available here which distinguishes my college from others. But the faculty here is still the same teachers who used to teach the core branches which makes it difficult for better understanding of the topics. The faculty here for the freshers is usually the PhD scholars and they dont have much experience either. There are a few problems in faculty allotment but they do get resolved in a month or so
