Likes

All the teachers are truly passionate about what they teach .

Some of the teachers are strict and give too much assignments.

Sone of the faculty members are really great and too much helpful and treat us like their son and helps each time .but some seems to be really strict and blindly make us follow the 75 per attendance criteria in classes.

Supportive

The quality of education provided by the faculties are quite appreciable. There are various clubs and societies for recreation through which one can be social and develop oneself all over.

Faculty to student ratio is 0.5 to 4.5. The faculties are very much helpful, they offer various projects and assignments which aids our practical experience further being helpful during placements. In year exams are conducted four times, involving two midsems and two endsems.

NIT Durgapur:-A wholesome Insight in the college life and it's different aspects

Some faculties have very high level of knowledge but their inability to deliver it in classroom is a matter of concern

In our college the academic is given a good priority along with sports and cultures.In a year we have 2 semesters.One is the odd sem starting from July and ending in November.Other starts from January and ends on April.For each sem we have mid sem end sem and CA(Continuous assessment).The CA consists of around 15 marks Mid sem of 25 marks and end sem of 60 Marks.Thus regular performance in class is mandatory for a good grade.The faculty to student ratio is not that good and thus have a scope of improvement.Many faculties are too much friendly and approachable while some are not.I think faculties should grow out from their old schooled technique of teaching and become more modern and approachable for students.This would surely ensure a healthy place for the students holistic development.

Nit Dgp from my view.

Decent falculties with great qualification and experience

Extra classes from some faculties which are not at all feels engaging and seems like torture to the students.

Faculties are good at helping mostly though some of them are really strict giving too much assignments and homework that we can't even do extra other things all the day And the strict attendance policy that really is a nightmare.

Inside NIT Durgapur : Strengths , Challenges & Opportunities

The college is very disciplined and has strong restrictions specially for the first year students. Professors are also very good

There are 200+faculties and faculty to student relationship is like parent to child relationship . Faculties are easily approachable both during college hours and after college hours . I liked all the faculties and all are equally good . They treat us like their own children. Yearly 2 semesters . In each semester there is Class assessment of 15 marks , Mid term of 25 marks and End term of 60 marks . The exam system is very good and very much systematic. Exam level is of moderate . Max Students pass the exam .

My Honest Review Of NIT DURGAPUR

Professors Are very unsupportive, they satisfy their ego first .
Very hectic class schedules. professor dont follow official schedule only take extra classes

Faculty to student ratio is more than 100. Some faculties are very suportive while others are very very unsupportive . I connot take names of faculties here as its invation of privacy . there will be 2 exams in a single sem . one is mid sem another is end sem .. before end sem lab exams are done ...
