NIT Jamshedpur: Fees, Admission 2026, Courses, Cutoff, Ranking, Placement

The answer to this question depends on your interpretation of a good placement.

If you are looking for a decent core/ non core job, NIT Jamshedpur Civil won’t disappoint you. However, if you are looking for very high packages from top brands, you’ll be disappointed. In fact, any core branch (civil, mechanical, electrical, production, metallurgy etc.), won’t fetch you high packages. This can happen only if you have graduated from an old IIT, BITS Pilani, or any other top Engineering college. 

For 2023, CE saw 97.29% placements and an average CTC of INR 9.57 LPA.

One can’t assess placement figures correctly through the average package. High salary offers for a handful of students inflate the entire figure. Try to research the future prospects of Civil, and explore your interests. 

But overall, the placements are quite good at the Civil department of NIT Jamshedpur. You can expect plenty of offers and a decent salary package. 

The recently constructed Mega Hostels are home to all freshers of NIT Jamshedpur. These hostels are the best as they have modern facilities, unlike the old hostels. The building is 6 stories with around 800 rooms, and every student gets a single occupancy room. 

A typical room in NIT Jamshedpur Mega hostel has a balcony, two cupboards, a bed, a study table, a chair, a tube light, a bracket lamp, and a ceiling fan. 

Here is what this hostel looks like through some pictures:

Mega Hostels are allotted only to boys. Girls are allotted RLB Hostel or BR Ambedkar Hostel, next to the Computer Centre.

When packing for NIT Jamshedpur, it's important to consider the weather and the activities you plan on doing while you're there. Here are some general items that you may want to consider bringing. 

• Pick some tees, briefs, and a few shirts and jeans. 
• Pack a mosquito net or repellent cards A LAN cable, an extension cord, and a multiplug. 
• A night lamp will come in handy too. And so will An electric iron to keep your clothes well ironed.
• Some hangers to hang your clothes rather than stacking them. 
• An umbrella because it rains a lot in Jamshedpur.
• Other miscellaneous items you can bring are a water bottle, basic first aid, toothpaste, toothbrush, a set of slippers, a mobile phone, headphones, and important documents.

If you look at all the criteria MHRD takes into consideration while ranking institutes, NIT Silchar is at par with most NITs but in terms of research, and infrastructure. The only parameter in which NIT Silchar was behind NIT Warangal was reputation and the difference was drastic. This affected the overall ranking of the institute in turn lowering the NT Silchar cutoffs.

I think the major reason behind its poor reputation is its remote location and the rumors related to it. It's falsely rumored to be in a Naxalite region and the exposure is believed to be minimal. The institute has a bad reputation, particularly in North India. 

I have friends from several NITs and I have safely concluded that NIT Silchar is better than many but it's difficult to convince people of the same and the institute has a bad reputation. 

To fix this problem, we need our alumni to be more active in portraying the right image of the institute. Additionally, the institute should hold more inter-college events and strive to build a reputation.

If you are expecting a magnificent campus that will leave you in awe with its beauty and infrastructure then you can lower your expectations because NIT Jamshedpur is nothing like that. You might even get disappointed with the campus on your very first day. However, the administration is slowly working to bring about small changes in the campus and infrastructure.

• The hostel facilities are the best in the country especially since the new Mega Hostels offering single occupancy rooms have come into function. The hostels are well-maintained and are cleaned regularly to ensure hygienic conditions. The mess food is also better than many others.
• Although the campus is remotely located, the basic needs and amenities of the students are catered to by nearby stores like ‘NIT Store’ or ‘Shyam Da Store’.
• The campus is surrounded by lush greenery. The roads leading to the campus are well-constructed making the commute an easier process. 

Overall, the campus and surroundings of NIT Jamshedpur are great and once you start studying here you will grow emotionally attached to the campus such that its minor flaws won’t even matter.

Here are a few drawbacks of NIT Jamshedpur that the ex-students talk about

• Infrastructure: The reason NIT Jamshedpur is so poorly ranked is because of its poor infrastructure. However, the infrastructure is improving constantly and this can be reflected in the newly constructed Mega Hostels that provide single rooms to students. Other new facilities are being implemented.
• Location: Jamshedpur faces major location disadvantages due to the lack of air connectivity. Most recruiters refrain from visiting the campus because of these transport issues. However, an inactive airport here Sonari is rumored to start operating again. again.
• Attendance Policy: Although the institute has a policy of 75% attendance, students do not follow it and skip classes frequently. However, the new director has implemented strictness in this matter and now even last year students attend classes regularly. 

So it can be concluded that most drawbacks of NIT Jamshedpur are being addressed and none of them hamper the academics to the point the institute's credibility needs to be questioned.
