Labs are not well maintained.Hostels are not good at all. The institute has a best-voltage laboratory, the best of its kind in the world and the first in India. There are specialised faculty members and skilled staff members in the fields of high-voltage and high-power engineering. The institute possesses state-of-the-art computing facilities. The Institute has a computer centre as a central computing facility for the students, scholars and the teachers of the institute. The centre has infrastructure like computer hardware and software, air-conditioned space, stabilised uninterrupted power supply and trained technical manpower.

I took AIEEE entrance exam, purely by chance i did get NIT based on ranking of colleges i had applied.

College management is very helpful and encouraging. they have a notion that students passing out should excel in every sphere of life. They always encourage learning with extra curricular activities . If any problem is there students can directly approach them.

college was good though management was not always. Once there were chollera outbreak and management refused to postpone exam and clean hostel water tanks etc. Hostel food was of bad quality but management never pay hid to.

All in all, NIT Durgapur is a great college. Formerly known as RE College, it has set its value in the field of the great universities of India.

The college is one of the premium colleges in Eastern India, and industry oriented studies are a priority here. Students have fun as the step in to the outside world for the first time Professors are friendly and the management is forgiving and considerate.

AIEEE, 7111 AIR, 203 state rank,selected for the value of its degree. Since, it is an central government college placement is a not a problem. The infrastructure of the college was quite appealing.

College life started with 2-3 weeks Violent ragging period where students were verbally, physically and sexually abused.Their was a whole network of students to manage copying in exams and manage results and probably student welfare in-charge was hand in glove with them.

College is good for learning but if students think that the tag "nit" will give him/her everything even if they are not serious in their study then they will be in deep trouble after 4 years.

IIT : Did not clear AIEEE : Ranked 44000 and got admission in NIT. I opted for the college because of the campus placement and was near to my place.
