What Students Say
Likes
- For an NIT, I would consider it to be affordable, especially for EWS students
- Multiple scholarships options are available
- Big campus and good college culture of student-prof. interaction
Dislikes
- Mess food can be pretty bad and low quality in terms of nutrition
- Administrative processes can be slow and will often clash with class timings
- Industrial/Practical learning is low and semesters can feel too fast
Course Curriculum Overview
Couse curriculum is outdated and needs to be aligned with students goals at the time. The curriculum right now is vast but really difficult to finish within the time frame and not totally sufficient or recommended for compititive exams like GATE
Internships Opportunities
Many on campus opportuinities are available in 3rd year and most of them even result in a PPO. If you are not going for industrial internships, you could do research in college utilising all the available resources
Placement Experience
You can sit for campus placements from 7th semester onwards. Before that there are many on campus internship opportuinities which very often result in PPOs. Approx. 70% placement can be expected in each brach. Highest salary can go upto 50+ lpa
Fees and Financial Aid
Fees for first year is around Rs.145000 and from 2nd year onwards it'll be somewhat around Rs.130000. There are consessions for SC/ST/PwD and EWS. The fees would be around 30000 annually plus hostel/mess charges. Fees is taken semester wise. SVMCM (for WB students) along with Oasis, Pragati etc. are some of the schlorships I know. They provide upto Rs.60000 annually for Btech students
Campus Life
NIT Durgapur is a culturally reach place, you can ecpect a grand fest in each semester. Other than that, there many many clubs and societies conducting events throughout the semesters. The library is filled with all the books you need whether it's technical or purely literature
Hostel Facilities
Hostels are habitable, not lavish but good enough to survive. Mess food can be very bad or really good depending on the manager and cooks. Ovarall it's a good enough experience considering the cost. Staying in hostels in campus saves alot of hassel during class days
Admission
ECE at NIT durgapur offers better opportuinities than many colleges in West Bengal. Considering the rank in JEE, this was an amazing opportuinity and not to be ignored. For a national level college, it was affordable and it was one of the mail deciding factors
Faculty
Theorically the faculty members are highly qualified and experienced but you can stuggle due to outdated teaching methods and rules. You'll find many supportive faculties who would guide and encourage you to persue you dreams
Night Life
Rules can be pretty strict but the campus still has a lot to offer. We have two large gounds for any sports and hangout and one gym with different timings for the men and women. We have cafeterias and hangout spots like Wonders Cafe and Nescafe for a quick bite
