NIT Goa Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

I will share my experience at NIT Goa after I took admission in M.Tech in VLSI at the institute. Please remember that these will be my thoughts and might differ from person to person.

College Campus –

• NIT Goa currently operates from a temporary campus located at Goa Engineering College in Farmagudi, Goa which is approximately 29 km away from the state capital at Panaji.
• Since it is a temporary campus, it has limited accommodation facilities and thus M.Tech and Ph.D. pursuing boys are not given any hostel. They have to stay on their own. 
• For food, you can use the hostel mess and college canteens which will cost you around INR 40 – 50 per day.
• For commuting, you can use the bus service provided by the college completely free of cost. Otherwise, you can definitely keep your own motorcycle or scooter since you are staying outside campus.

Academics –

• There is a separate VLSI lab for M.Tech students which is open for use 24X7. Each M.Tech student is allocated a separate PC with its user ID.
• The labs have access to all the required software you will ever need to play around with, simulate and verify your ideas. For example Cadence, MATLAB, Mentor, and Xilinx.

Placements –

• In the VLSI domain, many companies such as Intel Corporation, NXP Semiconductor, Global Foundries, and ON Semiconductor visit the campus for summer internships while companies like Sankhya Labs and C-DAC have visited the campus for final placements.
• The industry tie-ups are increasing and will increase further as more students pass from the institute. 
• The placement data for the year 2020-21 is given below for your reference. It is an overall placement record

In my experience, NIT Goa has been very good for me. I have had a very good social life. However you will also need to work hard during your years at the institute.

NIT Kurukshetra and NIT Goa are reputed engineering colleges. But among these two colleges, choosing NIT Kurukshetra will be a better choice as it is better in terms of rankings and offers better placements to the students. 

• The faculty of this college are very talented and qualified in their fields. They have years of experience in teaching and they are very helpful too. 
• The placement records of this college are amazing too as a lot of top companies visit the college for interviews. Companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Flipkart, DirectI visit the campus during interviews and offer jobs to many students with decent packages. According to the recent placement statistics the average CTC offered at the institute is 10 LPA.

However, NIT Goa offers a better campus experience. Goa is a more happening place with beaches, tourist spots and its environment is more chilled and relaxed. But overall, NIT Kurukshetra is a better college with good faculty and placement opportunities.
