Whether a backlog affects placements in NIT Jalandhar or not varies from company to company. These are various circumstances of backlogs and their consequences:

1. No current backlogs: this means you had a backlog in previous years that has already been cleared. In this case, most companies allow you to sit for placements.

2. Current backlog: This means you have a backlog in the current semester. Most companies don’t let you sit for placements but some ask you to clear your backlog and then join.

3. Backlog after placement: If you get a backlog in a subject after the placement, then you will have to clear it before joining. In case you have more than one backlog and are unable to clear it, you will end up losing your job.

So it’s better you focus on your CGPA, especially in the last semester. We know that prevention is better than cure. Rather than losing your job, it’s better you work hard on your grades.

It’s good to see institutes other than IIT gaining fame. But the parameter of such assumptions is not good. Why do we Indians judge an institute mere based on the packages they offer. There are so many other false factors that increase or decrease the value of a man institute. So before deciding that NITs have become better than IITs consider the following points:

• Placements and packages alone cannot determine the worth of a college. 

• Including IITs no college in India actually conducts the type of research a country needs.

• There are many instances wherein companies prefer going to an average college for recruitment than a better ranked one. This is because they can than assure the sustainability of talents. 

• The starting salaries don’t help you succeed in the long run.

So we cannot say with certainty that NITs have overpowered IITs just because they were able to land better packages.
