What is it like to study CS in NERIST?

CSE in NERIST is not a great option in terms of money and time. As one of my friends studied there, here’s what I got to know about it: The syllabus hasn’t been updated to the latest needs. Some of the professors have no teaching experience. They are more focused on students mugging up rather than learning. You will be taught languages that are no longer properly working in the industry. The labs here are messy and no the library is too small to accommodate a large group of students. The local Arunchali students tend to boss around and threaten everyone. The non local teachers also fear the local students and hence they give them better marks, to avoid the commotion. Categories CS at NERIST Course Fee 22,300 Highest CTC 10 LPA Average CTC 3.3 LPA Recruiting Companies Godrej, Infosys, Sony, GAIL, etc. Moreover, the environment is not academic-friendly. The placements earlier were very bad but have improved eventually. CS has few such good teachers who really care about their students and how much they are actually learning.

The course offers a supportive learning environment with understanding faculty and moderate exam difficulty. Each semester includes a Mid-term and an End-semester exam. Placement opportunities vary, with top companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon visiting annually. A recent highlight includes a student securing an 85 lakh package at Amazon in Sydney. The average salary package is around 5.5 lakhs. Eligibility for campus placements requires a CGPA of 6.5 and no backlogs, with opportunities available in the final year's last semester.

The college mandates internships for pre-final-year students through institutions like IITs and DRDO, offering diverse roles in tech, marketing, and finance. Affordability is a key feature, with tuition fees at Rs. 5,530 per semester and hostel fees at Rs. 18,000 annually, totaling approximately Rs. 40,000 per year. Scholarships such as Pragati and state scholarships are available, primarily benefiting girls and ST category students, while options for the General category are limited.

Additional costs include compulsory donations of about Rs. 2,000 per year. Despite low fees, the college provides good infrastructure.

NERIST details and experience

The fee structure of this college is very affordable for almost everyone, it's just 5500 for a semester of 6 months which is definitely very less in comparison to other colleges plus students also get scholarships based on their state policies I chose this branch as I love robotics and also love doing coding on different topics in my free time, I also have a dream of working for a robotic based company in future, so it was sensible according to me to choose Electronics and Communication Engineering

A day in my life at NERIST!

The fees of my college is very less as compared to other government colleges and private colleges. The infrastructure of the college is well suited and well maintained as compared to the fees a student pays throughout the journey of education. There are a lot of options for scholarships for people belonging to ST category. However, for those in General category, there aren't many scholarships that can be availed by students. Students are all same, whether they are ST or general, and they belong to same economic backgrounds but the lack of scholarship for some students is sad.

NERIST - BTECH CSE

Very low tuition fees (less than 6000 per semester for BTech) Negligible hikes in tuition fee Mess fee is also somewhat affordable (various between hostel to hostel and also each semester, depending on the market rate of consumables) On an average, 13-15 thousand per semester. Other donation (such as fest donation) is approximately 2000 per year (compulsory) College doesn't provide any scholarship to UG students

Not for placements

Every sem Rs. 5530 is the cost for academics and around 18000 for a hostel so for a year almost near to Rs. 40000 is cost. Pragati scholarships are for girls which have only 1 Or 2 girls in their family... And Students can apply for their state scholarship also
