Additionally, the institution recognizes the importance of supporting students financially and offers various avenues for scholarships, financial assistance, and campus employment opportunities.
Faculties are highly experienced with great knowledge and some of them have good teaching and mentorship style.
The classes are also very nice, the library is beautiful, well organized and peaceful.

Dislikes

We get information about scholarships, they are not interested in giving scholarships to poor students like us.
I disliked the lack of facilities in college sports, or music room facilities gym and all and mess is also not good
There is one almirah and one table and one bed provided in the hostel but the mess is really not good which was a problem in every college.

Tale of a Student

Stricts action towards ragging. In my college there were no ragging held.
Affordable and placements are quite impressive
Fests and events are also held . Students commetiee are also very active in this college. And also different varieties of club's

Dislikes

Zone culture. Here they have zone culture named as their states like up zone , bengal zone , South zone .
Some of the professors are really terrible. As they get angry on students
If you want to enter zone you have to get ragged by zone senior ( it's not compulsory to join zone but if you want as your wish you have to do this )

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

In my college according to this year college placements went 82% . If you can't get campus placement , there is a high probability if you can apply for any job outside campus and you have relevant skills you can get it . As alumini network of this college is quite good . Microsoft, apple, Deloitte,....etc many companies visits i don't even remember ????more . After getting degree i wants to prepare for govt job

For 6th semester people are eligible for internship and 8th semester campus placement. Many big companies like microsoft are visited our college. 90% of people from cse department are placed every year the highest package is 60lpa and lowest is 10lpa. I want to settle well in a best company with high package after this degree

NIT DGP

Likes

For an NIT, I would consider it to be affordable, especially for EWS students
Multiple scholarships options are available
Big campus and good college culture of student-prof. interaction

Dislikes

Mess food can be pretty bad and low quality in terms of nutrition
Administrative processes can be slow and will often clash with class timings
Industrial/Practical learning is low and semesters can feel too fast

Placement Experience:

You can sit for campus placements from 7th semester onwards. Before that there are many on campus internship opportuinities which very often result in PPOs. Approx. 70% placement can be expected in each brach. Highest salary can go upto 50+ lpa

NIT DURGAPUR - A Detailed Breakdown

Likes

The college campus and infrastructure is very clean well maintained
The environment is very good, serene and calm in the campus and the students are studious creating a competitive ambiance in the college and some of the faculties are good at teaching.
The laboratory and the departments are well equipped and maintained, good ppts designed by the faculties is provided which is helpful for studies

Dislikes

The faculties are too bad at teaching most of them just come in the class project ppts and leave the class some even don't even do that they comes in the class teach something which we can't understand and we have to study ourselves from the youtube
After all rules and regulations some students don't obey them, some students are very indiscipline they don't even care the faculties too they consume cigarettes,alcohol,ganja in the campus too.
Although there are a lot of rules and regulations and presence of anti-ragging officers in the campus, ragging still happens in the college

Placement Experience:

Students generally start getting their pre-placement offers from their 3rd year after completion of their internships other students gets their placement too in their final year. Starting from Apple to Google and Microsoft too hired some of our senior but the number of the students get placed in those tech giant companies is very less but there are mass recruiters too like TCS infosys PW chaitanya education TATA steel BHARAT petroleum and many other companies the offers are made based upon the eligibility of the students and the packages are decided based on the skillset and experience of the students . Highest package was 70 LPA this year and the average packages are also pretty good based upom the companies and their offers it ranges from 15-30 LPA .Almost 80-83% students gets placed but it depends on the branch of the students and their skillsets.I want to sit for GATE exam after completion of my BTech and want to persue MTech

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.
