NIT Durgapur, Computer Science And Technology

Reviewed on Sep 20, 2015

Remarks

The college management recently was not so supportive of students and students freedom. The management is not as responsive to our requests as it was before. Also unnecessarily getting strict where it wasn't even required. Some new rules and regulations w

Entrance Preview

I took AIEEE 2011 and got a 20k rank choosed NIT Durgapur as it was near to the place i live and was getting with my rank. I choosed CSE as i love computer programming.

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum was as it is being in any other central engineering college you will start from basic from 2nd semester to advance data structure which is very useful for companies.

Internships Opportunities

I never applied for internship, i preferred staying at home and study, also there are online free source projects you can contribute and learn a lot.

Placement Experience

4.5

The placements for my branch was really good, we have all the top companies. Amazon, Microsoft, Snapdeal, C Dot, Oracle, Directi, Dhrishti Soft, Novell, Polaris Fintech, NRI Fintech, Sapient Nitro etc are some of high paying companies for service sector there was TCS and IBM the placement percentage was really good for core branches the placement was good.

College Events

College fests are one of the best part of NIT Durgapur, there are fest for everybody, ranging from literature to coding to just pure fun and dance. Fests are organised organised all year long. From Mukti to Aarohan and the Ecstacy, these fest are really popular and many colleges from eastern part of India participates in these.Ecstacy is the cultural fest and you will always find polular singers and entertainer entertaining you. These fests will be the best part of college and you surely will miss them. For math nerds, there is specially a fest for that, what engineering without maths.

Fee Structure And Facilities

As its a old campus, even some hostels are old and not maintained properly but the newer hostels are really good and you will have no problems girls hostels are always maintained and i never heard any girl complaining about hostels. The food, although healthy is not that tasty. I never got sick eating that food for four years but the same repeated dishes will make you hate them. There are small canteens and jhoops, so you will never have problem if you are a foodie.

Fees and Financial Aid

Scholarships are available to people who are either from poor family or have really high cgpa loans are readily available from banks. I never availed any loans or scholarships but my friends have there is no delay regarding scholarships.

Campus Life

Campus life is one of the best you could have. Gender ratio is not so good at NITs, its 7:1 for boys to girls, if you are in Mechanical then forget girls. CSE and ECE have nice ratio regarding girls. As its a central college you will get people from all over India here. There are well funded groups here in this colleges who organize events all year around. Dance(Dance and Music Club), music,quiz ( quizINC the most active group), gaming, coding,robotics (Robotics Club), debates(youth parliament), Acting (nukad natak group), you name it and its there. If not you can form your own group and if its reasonable, college will fund it.

Alumni/Alumna

The Alumni Network is really good, you can see that from our placements, students gets off campus jobs through reference with help of Alumni, There is Alumni meeting every year and also a whole website dedicated to it so we keep in touch. Seniors are very friendly and helpful, the full story you will know after joining college only ;) But you surely will have fun.

Faculty

3.5

The faculty is helpful if approached. Some of them are really good and will inspire you to learn.

Good Internship Opportunities

Likes

Helpful Faculties, the faculties over here helped us through out the course
Good clean and green campus with water supply at different places in the campus
Structured syllabus for industrial readiness in the curriculum

Dislikes

Nothing such I have disliked, but some classrooms projector did not functioned properly
Some time the guards unnecessarily behaved rude which I hated the most

Placement Experience:

The placement cell provides us with training programs and internships and also if the students are careful and disciplined in the classroms they can crack through job interviews. There is mock viva at the end semester and also some on campus hiring companies came in our college.

Average Makaut college with no placements.

Likes

You can focus on gate, or any other job teachers are helpful no issue of attendance.
easily pass as syllabus is not hard,and get a B.tech degree.

Dislikes

poor infracture, lack of resources such as sports facility.
Less qualified teachers with no PHDs, and familiar with basic knowledge.
No placements, whatever you can do is off campus only

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is perceived as average , lacking specific elements that might make it stand out. In my case, the motivation was not to waste a year by opting for a drop. The flexibility in attendance which let me focus on other interests. The curriculum is same as MAKAUT, and the exam frequency is also controlled by MAKAUT .Areas of improvement is infrastructure and better faculty.

LIFE AT NIT DURGAPUR

I applied for multiple NITs During Josaa Counselling but my top 5 suitable choice according to my home location and considering other limiting factors was NIT Rourkela, NIT Silchar, NIT Durgapur, NIT Patna and IIEST Shibpur. Apart from these, I have also Applied for Calcutta University and Jadavpur University. I have got approval from NIT DGP,Calcutta University and Jadavpur University. But I have chosen NIT because of better Placement records and better campus Life. Moreover it's an Institution of of National Importance and Hold a good NIRF rank. So I preferred this choice above others. I wasn't rejected from the above colleges, but simply i didn't get the eligible rank for them. And the 3 which I got, i choosed the best among them. The Admission process of NIT DGP was through Josaa and CSAB counselling. The College and the Branch will be alloted to you according to your rank in the JEE MAINS Examination. The Closing rank of this exam in 2025 of General Category for the lowest Branch in BTech is 63387. The overall admission process for the college, apart from hostel allotment, was completely online. 14-15 documents were to be submitted in pdf format in the specific website provided. The Process was overall smooth and Well Managed....Read More

NIT DURGAPUR - A Detailed Breakdown

I applied for GURU GHASIDAS UNIVERSITY, BILASPUR (a GFTI in chattishgarh) and i got an secured seat in the CSE department too of that college too in my 2nd round of JOSAA councelling but in the CSAB round 1 i got a seat in NIT Durgapur in the Biotechnology department. I was a NEET aspirant but due to scam of NEET 2024 i was unable to get a good rank and secure a good government medical college and i was passionate about biology from my childhood so i chose Biotechnology and obviously an NIT is far more better than any GFTI be it in terms of placement, infrastructure, environment or any other things. I applied for some higher prioritized brances too in my choice filling but due to poor rank i wasn't able to secure a seat there. Students get seats in NIT(s), IIIT(s) and in GFTI (s) through JOSAA (a counselling process of 5 rounds) and CSAB (a counselling process of 2 rounds) and in IIT (s) through JOSAA counselling only. Students secure their desired seats based on their merits with the rank that they obtained in their JEE Mains exams and JEE ADVANCED (for IIT ) although admission is based on ranks but the authority have criterias like you have to score 75% marks in maths ,physics and chemistry in your Boards exams or you should be among top 20 percentile students of your class 12th board exams there is a separate process of admission too for the foreign students and NRI students althogh the fees structure is very high for their courses.The overall counselling process was good and seamless but after allotment of the college, the document verification and fees submission process is a little hectic....Read More
