Likes

All the teachers are truly passionate about what they teach .
The campus size is really good and have everything needed.
The placements and all the internship opportunities are best.

Dislikes

The girl and boys ratio is 1 isto 5 only .
Some of the teachers are strict and give too much assignments.
The strict 75 percent criteria is the worst thing possible.

Placement Experience:

Placements are really decent and sometimes overwhelming as all the students eligible gets the chances to sit for all the multi national companies like google and microsoft easily .And if someone wants to get into core and research they will also easily pursue what they want.

Nit Dgp from my view.

Likes

Decent placements with great companies hiring for both jobs and internships with high packages
Decent falculties with great qualification and experience
Good infrastructure and campus size with good greenery all over and good location.

Dislikes

Girls vs boys ratio is very low-1:5 ratio
Strict attendance policy -75 percent attendance criteria
Extra classes from some faculties which are not at all feels engaging and seems like torture to the students.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is same as the other colleges in India and mostly the 10 or 15 years old syllabus is still being taught by most of the faculties in all branches .Though they have introduced new Data base management courses along with ai and ml in our syllabus for placements in this new technical era.

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.
