Placement Experience:
The on-campus placement process starts in your final year and you can apply to the company of your choice. The highest package offered last year was 56 LPA and the average package is around 14 LPA. Almost all students get placed here. I'm planning to go for higher studies after my degree completion

Placemets are quite good on the campus nit Durgapur specially trains and encourages the students to sit for internships and placements. A student is eligible to sit for internships at the beginning of the third and placements from the beginning of the final year. a student can manage to get a PPO after completing the internship in the 3rd which is also encouraged by the student. The other criteria regarding to placements and internship is quite well-defined on the NIT DGPS website.

Course Curriculum Overview:
My departmental faculty are good but some are also bad in teaching but overall is not good. Our thermodynamics teacher is very excellent and good at teaching and expressing talent is best. Also our solid mechanics teacher is also good at expressing themself. I took this course because I just got it from Josaa counseling without any choice.

- The faculty, they are well deserved and qualified in every department and are very supportive.
- The hostels, they are quite spacious and have a beautiful view.
- The campus, though it is small compared to other colleges, but whatever it is, it's neat and clean and green.
Dislikes
- The campus, it's too small and over half is occupied by the residents. So there is not much to explore in the campus.
- The education system. Although the faculty is good but the system and curriculum is bad. You need to change it as it is outdated.
Placement Experience:
The placement here is quite good. As the college was built in 1960 it has great alumni connections. Students start to get internship offers from the 5th to 6th semester while getting them placed in 7-8th semester. Some of the companies visiting here are Microsoft, Hyundai, reliance, etc. With an offer of over 50lpa. The highest package of the college was 71lpa last year and the lowest was around 7.5lpa. About 88% of students from my department got placed last year. I was thinking about getting into a tech company through college campus placements, it's quite hard though but getting a job is my target.

- The greenery and cleanliness of this college.
- Air conditioned classrooms and proper furniture.
Dislikes
- Sports facilities, and no swimming pool.
- The college is not that big as it has a lot of faculty area.
Course Curriculum Overview:
I am interested in the field of Automobile Engineering, thus I opted for this particular course. The faculty-to-student ratio is quite good. Most of the faculty have done their PhD and master's from IITs. The mid-term exams are for 1.5 hours and the end term is for 3 hours. Both are exclusively difficult.

NIT Durgapur: 1 Answered Question
What is your review of NIT, Durgapur?
Shivani DasB.Tech from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2019)
Here is a detailed review shared by my brother who completed his graduation from NIT Durgapur
- Infrastructure: Honestly, the infrastructure isn’t all that great but will provide all the basic amenities necessary for a good academic environment.
- Faculty: Most students have to resort to self-study because the professors are not very passionate about teaching. However, if you do good projects under a professor, you may be able to pursue a master's in a foreign university.
- Placements: NIT Durgapur has recorded excellent placements. This year the highest CTC offered was INR 70 LPA while the average salary offered was INR 13.64 LPA. The top recruiters included TCS Ninja, PwC, ICICI Bank, Microsoft, and many others. More than 100 recruiters participated in the placement drive and 633 students were placed.
- Opportunities: The NIT tag will open a number of opportunities for you and the alumni network is also quite extensive. You can also avail opportunities like workshops and clubs.
- Campus life: The campus life is very active with many fun-filled events like the freshers' farewell party and celebration of regional festivals. Additionally, a number of cultural and technical fests are also held.
- Administration : The administration is very slow and is not cooperative. You might face some issues.
- Location : NIT Durgapur faces no major connectivity issues. The railway station is 30 mins or 14 km away while the nearest airport is at Andal, which isn't well connected, so Kolkata Airport will be a better option. You can find the Auto rickshaw stand just at the main gate.
Overall, NIT Durgapur is a great place if you are unable to make it to IITs.
