Campus is beautiful but life is bit difficult :)

Also, I want to state one more thing about its academics is they don't provide flexibility while providing options wrt elective subjects.

The fees don't hike easily like there is no policy to hike the fees progressively. The semester fees is around 84000, and there is a fee waiver policy as well. Anyone having a valid income certificate, with income <1lpa can awail 100% tuition fee waiver, with income ranging between 1-5 lpa can awail 67% of the waiver in tuition fees. All the SC/ST and PWD candidates don't need to pay tuition fees.

Good college but loosing it's ranking

Fee structure of NITs have been revised by MHRD. It’s definitely going to cost more than 5LPA now. It’s almost double than the previous fee structure. We use to pay 26000 per semester now its about 50k per sem excluding hostel expense. Check website of NIT, you are going to apply for. They display their fee structure online. If the family annual income is less than you can apply for students loan and also there are several scholarship programs which are run via so many NGOs and govt itself. Inquire admin office info regarding scholarship programs.
