NIT Jalandhar overall experience, campus placement opportunities, fees structure and hostel reviews

The course that I opted is very good. Many students before coming to engineering or even during the engineering don't have the idea of instrumentation and control engineering. But it is like a combination of both software and hardware systems. This instrumention is every where, medical, oil industries, process industries...

Many companies comes to our college to give internships with stipend, some big companies like microsoft, american express comes to our college with heavy stipends.. they mostly shortlist the students based on CGPA.. they put a boundary on mostly around 8.5 CGPA. So if u your CGPA is quite descent but not high, prefer the off campus internship.

Placement is overall good, the companies gives heavy package to CSE and IT Fields, the avg package is around 13.35LPA and for our department is around 11LPA with 100% placement ratio in 2025.. And the most unexpected thing that happened in our college is that a student from instrudrial and production engineering got a package of 4.07 CR from off-campus..

For ST students thier no tution fees. You just have to pay hostel and mess charges.. in even semester the fees is around Rs 25500 and in odd semester it is around Rs 30500 for Hostelers. So it around Rs 56000 in1 year and Rs 448000 for total 4 years. For General students , the hostel and mess fees is same, just they have to add additional tution fees. If the student's family income is less than 1 lakh, they don't have to pay any tution fees, only mess fees have to be paid. If the student's family income is in between 1lakh to 5 lakh, they have to pay around Rs 51300.(Mess+tution fees) And if the student's family income is more than 5 lakh, they have to pay around Rs 93000 per semester (mess+, fees)

We have every facilities that a student can expect before coming to this college.. For music: we have a music club called OCTAVES. For dance: SI club and CRIMINALZ(very high social media followed). and also we have speech, acting, drama, cultural and many many more.. For tech , evey branches has thier own clubs .. For sports: e have a well structured basketball court and the football ground is well developed with high light poles..

Hostel facility is quite debatable, if u want good food, you have to compromise your hostel rooms and if you want good hostel rooms, you have to compromise your food.. But the ratio is not equal, getting good hostel is much more better than running towards good mess food at NITJ.. So pick hostel wisely.

I was getting mechanical - civil in NIT Silchar, and I wasn't interested in this branches, as I wanted to go in tech-core branches, and Civil was a big No.. even my home is in Assam , still I choosed ICE as this branches fulfills my expectation..

Faculty-to-student ratio is around 7.6/10, some teachers are very good and friendly, and some teachers are a bit rude, but it all depends on the student's behaviour toward the faculties . There are total of 2 main exams and 3 quizes{ 5 marks each(best 2 out of 3)} in a semester. The 2 main exams consider a mid sem of 30 marks and 50 marks end sem. A student must have to score a marks of 40 out of 100 and a min of 15 marks in end sem to pass in that semester.

The nightlife is quiet good, for boys in 1st year, they were not allowed to go outside of campus after 9-10pm but from 2md year onwards, they have full 24 hours freedom. My friends and I even sometimes goes to eat noodles at around 3 am and returns back at 4 am.. but the girls weren't allowed to go outside of thier hostel from 10 pm even for seniors.
