A number of factors combined together make NSUT one of the premier engineering colleges in the country.

• Establishment : NSUT  was given importance from the very beginning by DU because of its excellent industry relations and good opportunities in terms of jobs and exposure. In fact, in the early 1990s, DCE and NSUT  were the only two good govt engineering colleges in Delhi after IIT-D. 
• Crowd : NSUT has a low intake and only the best students are given admission here. The crowd quality is never sacrificed for the sake of money, unlike other colleges. Ever since its establishment NSUT has attracted the best companies so DCE and NSUT became the RECs of Delhi. 
• Location : NSUT is located in Delhi, the capital which is home to a huge number of companies. Most of the companies recruit from IIT Delhi, DTU, and NSUT. In fact, almost 80% of the companies visiting IIT visit DTU and NSUT too. This abundance of jobs has made NSUT a preferable choice for many. Better placements automatically attracted better students. 
• Placements: Engineering aspirants look for decent packages to kick-start their careers. NSUT offers exactly that and thus it’s an ideal choice for many seeking education in Delhi. The institute is visited by top companies like l TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Wipro, Google, and Facebook, or all the major PSUs, they visited NSUT. 

However, in recent years both DTU and NSUT have increased their intake exponentially and have lost the charm of being the best Engineering colleges in Delhi. NIT Delhi and IIIT Delhi seem to have taken their place now. So unless the students of NSUT help restore its brand value, the institute will be a total failure in the future.

One of my friends was a student at NIT Kurukshetra and shared his experience. He loved his college because of its excellent placement scenario. It’s one of the top NITs and is highly regarded in the engineering industry. All the branches of the institute have a great placement scenario like most NITs with the most preferred ones being CS and IT branches. 

The faculty members are also highly qualified and one cannot doubt their parity. Most of them are Ph.D. holders from big institutes like IITs. They guide and encourage the students to help them achieve their goals. 

The infrastructure of NIT Kurukshetra is slowly being renovated and recently new hostels, and swimming pools, have been made and the old infrastructure has been renovated. Overall the institute has decent infrastructural facilities so that should not be a major concern.

Unless you have options from better IITs and branches you should consider joining NIT Kurukshetra. 

IEM Kolkata is a reputed technical college in the region. But given a choice, you should take Civil/IT at Jadavpur University. JU ranks among the top engineering colleges in the country. It is well ahead of IEM, in terms of placement and opportunities. 

Many core companies visit JU to recruit Civil Engineering students. The IT placement is excellent. Companies such as Microsoft, Google, etc. take part in Jadavpur University placements. During the 2022 placement drive, Facebook offered the highest CTC of INR 1.8 Crore per annum. The second highest CTC was INR 1.4 CPA, by Google. 

The lateral entry program of IIIT Hyderabad offers admission into the B.Tech+MS by Research dual degree. 

Dual degree students face some disadvantages when it comes to placements. First of all, the research tag makes companies fear that the MS student might leave soon to pursue higher studies. Secondly, DD students do not get as much time to prepare for placements as other students. Choose a dual degree only if you are interested in research. You will work with the best brains in the country at IIIT Hyderabad, but you will spend a lot of time on this course. 

Though officially the lateral entry program at IIIT Hyderabad allows you to complete your dual degree in 4 years, usually your MS will take at least a year more. You will also get admissions after completing two years of your B.Tech/ related degree at another institution and will have to study the 1st year curriculum before getting into the 3rd year curriculum.This will take a total time of at least 7 years.

A better option is if you continue with your B.Tech degree from your own college and then go for an MS degree at IIIT Hyderabad. You will complete all this in a total of 6 years and end up spending a year less or at most, an equal amount of time as in the lateral program.

I had applied for the MS ECE at IIIT Hyderabad as I was interested in Robotics research. Around 22 candidates, including me, were scheduled for an interview that day and a few were absent.

I was interviewed at 4:30 pm. A total of 4 professors interviewed us. The professors first asked me if I sat for GATE and my performance in it. Then I was asked if I had applied for other colleges. When I told them that I rejected NIT Goa because of not so good placements over there, they asked me if I was interested in placements. To this I replied that I was not that interested in placements and my plan was to go into research.

Then they asked me about the field in which I wanted to do my research. I replied that I was interested in Robotics. I supported my answer by saying that I have done my final year project in robotics and worked in the automation department of Godrej. I was then asked what I would want to improve at my company. After this basic question-answer series, another professor of IIIT Hyderabad, who was into Robotics research, joined the panel. He went through my final year project report.

Meanwhile, the panel asked me about my strong subjects and the topics that I was well-versed in.  I was asked to write equations and draw graphs on a blackboard and was questioned on the topics that I had selected. I chose to be questioned on Analog and Digital Communications, except the NOISE part.  

The interview went for 25 minutes. The Robotics professor did not ask any questions and simply reviewed my project report. Overall, the interview experience was great and I cleared it and secured admission into IIIT Hyderabad.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that AIIMS Jodhpur has the best sports facilities among the 2012-established AIIMS. Here are a few snapshots of Tejas 2021 that will give you an understanding of the rich sports culture here
