Likes
- It's about college when it comes in getting into IITs or NITs. NIT Silchar also a reputed NIT that comes under top 10 NITs in India.
- All faculties are highly educated(IITs scholars) and backed by high experience in research and professorship.
Dislikes
- The location of college is a factor that I feel it didn't get more recognition which it deserve. Silchar belongs to south Assam and for students coming from other state it becomes a problems of travelling if comes from train.
- Mode of teaching can be more interactive by few faculties.
Course Curriculum Overview
I have chosen Electrical Engineering because I find curiosity in this field while studying during JEE days. It's a core engineering field that will have a wider application in real word like power system engineering , control system engineering , VLSI engieers etc. Classes schedule are very tidious during 3 years and last year is generally have very few course to do but the main course covered under 3 years of your engineering and have very tidious schedule that include classes and 3 hours of LAB classes. Classes and lab can be more engaging if real world application and industrial application should be inculcated during teaching

Campus Life
Campus life is good. It has lot of clubs where students can take part and grow themselves and all the necessary facilites are being provided. College conducts many fest like Tech fest and culltural fests. It has the Asia's argest digital library where you can get all resources. It has SAC building and sport complex for various activities.
Hostel Facilities
Hostel facility is decent. You get a seperate hostel for freshers for whole year that is seperated from senior hostellers. Every year hostel will keep changing and in final year we get single accomadation rooms. Mess food is decents and students only get elected to regulate the mess facilitites. Rooms have LAN facility that allows you to use high speed internet.
Admission
I have chosen this college because of my ranking and college NIRF ranking. So I got 24k rank in mains and by previous year analysis I found that NIT Silchar would be the best option that I can get. The admission process start from Jossa counselling and then registration on college portal and then physical verification. I have also given the exam of VIT and got selected for VIT vellore CSE programme but didn't proceeded further because I got NIT Silchar.
Faculty
The faculty of NIT Silchar is for sure one of the highly experienced faculties as they did there Phds from institute like IITs and have a very strong foundation over there subjects and research work. The faculty to student ratio is also decent that a faculty generally teaches a batch of students between 50-80 in single class. The faculties are easy to approach and generally very friendly when it comes to discuss doubts and career guicance. There is this professor named Rajeeb Dey who is an Associate professor of Electrical Dept and one of the finest faculty whom I ever encountered. His teaching methodology is very unique and interactive. I found him to be one of the finest faculty of NIT Silchar. Talking about exams so in a single semester Mid semester + Minor exams + End semester take place. Midsem consist of 30 marks Endsem consist of 50 marks and 20 marks is upto the faculty that generally include minor of 10 marks and rest for throught evaluation and attendance. Course structure and exam papers are set by NBA guidelines( you can search about that) and is moderate to clear and very few generally got back in these exams.
