Though I love my college, here are some areas that need to work on with sincerity-

• Learning Method- Students are expected to follow an orthodox learning style. To become a 9-pointer, you’ll have to memorize class notes. Students mug up answers and write them in their answer sheets. All this requires simply a week-long preparation before the respective exam. Professors don’t encourage creativity on answer sheets, they want an exact reflection of their notes.

• Administration- The administration isn’t supportive at all. There is a fine/ charge for everything. You are expected to pay money for college ID, low attendance,  college bonafide, and practically every other thing.

• Training and Placement Cell- They organize no training programs to prepare students for job interviews. Even if you find a training program that needs college approval, you’ll face many obstacles in acquiring their permission. Placements are good, but you’ll have to prepare on your own.

• Hostel Infrastructure- The majority of hostels were built in the 1960s, and have never been renovated since. The rooms are in poor condition and the occasional paint job does minimum to hide the damages. 

NIT Durgapur has given me lovely seniors and amazing friends. I will always cherish these memories. But these (and some more) areas need serious attention from the college authorities.

As far as the curriculum is concerned, the first year is quite easy. The curriculum is common for all, and half the topics aren’t new to you. The teachers too are a bit merciful.For the remaining 3 years, the difficulty level differs with your branch. CS, IT, Software students are under much more pressure. But they have the best placements among all the branches. ECE has some strict professors but the workload is manageable. MCA, EP, PCT, and ENE are good branches for research.Mechanical is the best branch at DTU. You will get hands-on experience and the workload is very doable. The institution is located near a lot of manufacturing factories so you will get good internship opportunities.

My brother was a part of the batch that suffered from covid regulations. Although the first year was online, the second year was totally virtual. Other than online classes one major hardship his batch faced was the internship offer getting revoked. Narrating his experience, he told me that 

• the initial days were very enthusiastic and filled with thrill. Throughout the day, formal inductions were conducted and esteemed guests from the industry enlightened the students about the dos and don'ts of the College.
• Other activities included students getting enrolled to various clubs and committees which required interviews.
• The pedagogy comprises the case study, preparation, and guest lecture. You have to make presentations and also discuss the slides in front of your batchmates
• Interacting with peers from various walks of life is itself an enriching experience. You can use this opportunity to grow.
• The student-driven culture allows you to manage and organize various events. You get maximum exposure through managing the budget, learning the operation of event management, networking with the right set of guests, and having close interaction with them.
• Owing to its vicinity to many cities you get to explore places like Dehradun, Maclodgangj, Dharamshala, and Chandigarh. You can also take road trips down to the Himalayan lane.

Overall the experience was a really good one and my brother made some amazing college memories.
