Why To Join NIT Durgapur - Reviews & Rating
Most Popular Tags
Likes
- The campus placements are pretty good with average placement of 11.58 lacs/annum
- The campus is very beautiful and very lushy green.
Dislikes
- The girls to boys ratio is very less about 1:6
- The laboratory equipments are pretty old and outdated
Admission:
Admission took place from jee mains exam and score above 95 percentile for general category with open category of non home state. If you have some reservation then you can get admission on low ranks only. I also opted for NIT Jamshedpur and NIT Raipur. I got NIT Raipur in 2nd round but got nit Durgapur in later rounds. But I didn't get NIT Jamshedpur due to rank.
Likes
- The college provides a steady platform for developing one's own skills, through tech clubs and hackathons. People interested in self improvement through learning will never be short of opportunities here, as there is always something new to try on..
- The research culture in the institute is quite well developed, especially for the Computer Science, Electronics and Metallurgy departments. The research output is excellent and the Professors are well known in their respective fields.
Dislikes
- The administration can be slow and inactive sometimes, and requires a large push before taking any steps on any major decision.
Admission:
I got an admission to BITS Pilani as well, but I chose this college since the fees for BITS Pilani was too high. Overall I had a good experience with the college and it beats most other engineering colleges in WB by a large margin, except IIT KGP.
Likes
- The thing I liked the most about NIT Durgapur is it's management, the management is very strict with first year student but it's for our own good . College is strictly against ragging and it's really efficient too.
- The girls to boys ratio is quite good , like in our computer science batch theres a total of 187 students in which 36 girls and rests are boys which is nearly 1:4 good for a NIT. Also girls here are very friendly 😉.
Dislikes
- The most disliked thing by me here is the politics, yes there is politics divided into zones from different States students of India. Here's a student body called Gymkhana which conducts this election which every year cause a real chaos afaik.
- Here exist a culture called zone in or zone out , if u choose to zone in you'll get ragged but along with that you'll get help from alumnis and seniors and even in club entries but if u choose to zone out noone will ever touch u
Admission:
1) well my first choice was NIT DURGAPUR CSE , even tho I was getting better colleges at my rank I still wanted it for convenience coz west bengal is my homestaye. 2) No i didn't get any rejection letter from any other colleges since this was my first preference 3)To gain admission to NIT Durgapur, students must primarily take the Joint Entrance Examination JEE Main for most undergraduate courses, with the preferred exam being JEE Main itself for BTech programs. For postgraduate courses like MTech, the preferred exam is GATE. 4) Eligibilty criteria: its the same as the most other govt colleges .75% in 10+2 even for qualifying JOSAA criteria and 65% for reserved categories 5)Cutoffs: you must need a minimum of 95+ percentile if u want to land in any branch here in Btech belonging from general category for reserved categories even a percentile of 85+ would be enough to get the lower branches. For CSE u need at least 99+ or 98.8+ percentiles in general and 97+ in Reserved categories

NIT Durgapur: 20 Answered Questions
Why do you regret joining NIT Durgapur?
I don’t think many people regret joining NIT Durgapur. In fact, one of my friends who was earlier doubtful about the institute said that choosing NIT Durgapur was one of the best decisions of his life.
The institute does have some cons such as average mess food and poor quality of hostels, however, the condition is similar in almost all engineering colleges. Over the past few years, it has been working hard to improve its infrastructure and many new and modern hostels are coming up. There are decent options for eating near the campus. Additionally, a new assembly hall is also under construction.
The faculty pool like any other engineering college comprises both highly and low qualified professors. You can develop a good rapport with them and trust me they will guide you in making big choices.
The academic environment is improving for the better and so are the placements. NIT Durgapur also has a tie-up with CERN, Geneva and with the Department of Atomic Energy for the world's first Helium gas exploration plant coming up at Bakreswar. Subir Chowdhury, the present CEO and MD of JCB India, is also an alumni of this college
Considering all the above facts, I don’t think you can regret joining the institute.
Is NIT Durgapur a good college?
As a student of NIT Durgapur, I am listing down the reasons why this college is a good choice for students-
- NIT Durgapur has a beautiful and lush green campus. You’ll really enjoy the beauty of this place.
- It provides its students with all the facilities and opportunities.
- It has a decent infrastructure that is improving at a rapid rate.
- The Student Activity Centre (SAC) is the focal point of cultural and sports activities.
- The college library is air-conditioned. You’ll find a good collection of books over there.
- NIT Durgapur has an excellent faculty. Some of the teachers are really friendly and supportive.
- The crowd is good. You will develop a good bond with your peers.
- It has a strong alumni network. Alumni from NIT Durgapur have glorious careers in academics and industry.
- It has a good fest culture. The five fests organized by our college are-Aarohan, Aavishkar, Recstacy, Verve, and Virasat. Aarohan is the annual techno-management fest. It is the 2nd largest of its kind in the entire eastern India.
These are some reasons why NIT Durgapur is a good institute. According to me, you
should consider it for your higher studies.
How hard is manipal institute of technology entrance exam for an average student?
I am a pretty average student who scored 80% in 11th and 93% in 12th. I was preparing for my JEE Advanced and took the entrance exam for Manipal as a form of practice.
I scored 155 in the entrance exam which was a good enough score to get me CSE at this institution.
The exam contains easy questions. Everything boils down to time management. There are 200 questions and the total time allotted is 150 minutes. With simple Math, you can figure out that each question gets 45 seconds. Now, all the questions in English can be solved instantly. Also, some questions on Chemistry will take no more than 10 seconds. Considering this, you’ll get an average time of 60 seconds to solve Math and Physics questions. This is more than sufficient time if your concepts are clear.
In case you do not know an answer, mark the question for later. 140 is a good score to get you into CSE at Manipal Institute of Technology. So the entrance exam isn’t tough to crack, it just requires a good speed.
Is Jadavpur University better than NIT Durgapur? If yes, which stream would be preferred?
Both the colleges have their pros and cons. Your choice of college should be based on branch. I did my Mechanical from NIT Durgapur and my friend did his Mechanical from Jadavpur University. I am eligible to answer this question.
First of all, JU is much higher in ranking than NIT Durgapur. Also, the fees at JU are way more affordable. As JU is located in Kolkata, IT companies visit the campus more often. As far as core courses are concerned, the faculty for ME especially, is good at both the colleges. But core placements are much better at NIT Durgapur because PSUs visit the campus. On the other hand, JU students have to sit for GATE.
If you wish to study CS, IT or ECE, choose Jadavpur University without second thought. As far as core jobs are concerned, choose NIT Durgapur.
How is mechanical engineering at NIT Durgapur?
As a Mechanical Engineering student at NIT Durgapur, I am listing down some important points about my branch-
- Mechanical has a busier schedule than the other branches.
- Some professors of Mechanical are good while some are rude.
- Mechanical students get more assignments. This branch will demand a lot of hard work from you.
- You can easily score well in Mechanical. However, you’ll have to manage your time well if you are planning to study for competitive exams side by side.
- You’ll face 25-hour lectures in a week, and extra classes will also be arranged.
- B.Tech Mechanical recorded 84.05% placements during 2023. The students were placed at an average CTC of 9.72 LPA.
As per my personal experience, you can definitely consider B.Tech Mechanical from NIT Durgapur.

How is ECE branch at the NIT Durgapur?
As a final-year ECE student at NIT Durgapur, I will share my observations about this department with you.
NIT Durgapur offers no research facilities as such. So if you enter the ECE department expecting research-based innovative studies, you’ll be disappointed. You’ll score a good CGPA. You will get the opportunity to intern at CERN, through a good CGPA. Other than that, the curriculum doesn’t really offer much growth. Most people aren’t that driven or hardworking over here.
Since 2017, however, changes in curriculum and faculty have opened doors for improvement. The infrastructure and lab facilities of this college need a lot of improvement. Phd. scholars should be selected more carefully for teaching the students.
I recommend you try Jadavpur ECE. You can also search for some other option that is better than NIT Durgapur ECE.
