Remarks

As per JEE Rank, this was the best college which I would have got. I got chances in state govt colleges but opted out after first round of counselling since I got into NIT Durgapur. As ranking of NIT Durgapur was better than these state govt colleges, I decided to join NIT Durgapur, a college of national importance.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

Course is a bit outdated. Innovations and new discoveries should be included in the curriculum. Faculties are very knowledgeable. Academic wise, the semester planning is good. Hands on training approach should be adopted.

Internships Opportunities

I did my internship in Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, for a period of 2 months as a part of the sales team. Since it was a PSU, I was not offered any stipend. One can mail the HR and ask about internship opportunities available.

Placement Experience

4

Good. In mechanical engineering department approx 105/135 (eligible for placement) were placed. Varieties of company ranging from consulting to manufacturing to automobiles to PSUs. Approx 40+ companies participate in the placement drive.

College Events

4

2 Technical fests : Aarohan and Avishkar. 1 Cultural fest : Recstacy (Now Nityamini). Students from all over India are invited to participate in these events. Cash prizes are given to the winners. The fests take place over a period of 2-3 days with multiple events on each day.

Fees and Financial Aid

I did not avail any scholarship/loan facility. I don't know why I'm still expected to write 200 characters even if I have no answer for this. I am just writing this part so that I can submit the form. Kindly ignore this part. This part is not necessary for understanding about the college facilities.

Campus Life

3

Size of the library is good enough. Core department labs have outdated machinery which are not always used in manufacturing. New machineries and equipments should be used. Hostel rooms need maintenance. Rooms are provided with lan cables.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

1st year students were provided a new hostel (Hall 11) 4 students/room. Common bathrooms. Wifi available. 2nd-3rd year hostels were old. These rooms need maintenance. 4 students/room. Common bathrooms. Lan cable for everyone. In final year, everyone gets a separate room. Lan connection available. Common bathrooms.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is relevant and theory-rich, ideal for further academic pursuits like UPSC and PSC. I chose History Honours for its analytical depth. Exams are semester-based, moderate tough. Teaching can improve with more discussions and digital learning tools.
