A Brief Tour to NITW Life

As you know, I applied for this college after passing the JEE Main entrance exam. The Admission process was online i.e. through the JOSAA counseling portal. I got the benefits of being in an OBC category when joining. I opted for the Civil Engineering course and my All India General rank was 18000 in JEE Mains and 16000 in JEE Advanced and my All India OBC rank was around 4000 in both. I opted for this college over some new IITs as it was one of the oldest and renowned top NIT. Civil Engineering branches of NITW is the best in all other NITs.

I was originally interested in the Civil Engineering branch and hence I was going to choose only the civil branch in any college. The student ratio of the civil branch is around 75% male to 25% female. The faculty of Civil NITW is well-knowledgeable and approachable. But I see most of them are old fashioned and have no experience of modern technology and developments. And talking about exams, they were all timely and according to the schedule. And the pattern was almost the same with previous years. If you attended all classes and were attentive during the class then it's very easy to pass any Subject.

As I have already said Internship opportunities are very less. Most IT companies will come for internships and they'll mostly select circuit branch students for the internships. If you want to get an internship in other areas and the core branch then you can ask the professor if they have any contacts to get you an internship.

Campus Placement of NITW is the best in all NITs. From 3rd year of B.Tech you are eligible to sit for campus drives. Internship and Job both are provided in the campus but still there is a lock of interns compared to job opportunities. This year(2022-23) many companies visited and till end of November 1000+ offeres are made to the students. Almost 80% of eligible students are getting placed every year. If you have 7+ CG then its highly likely that you're getting placed.

Fee structure is mostly according to your financial condition i.e. your income certificate. Fee hike is there every year but students have right to raise voice and discuss things about it. Scholarship is providing to the top scoring students. You can even go for student loan. Talking about Campus job NITW is the topmost NIT in campus placement. I got a job in Axis bank with 8LPA CTC. Getting a job from campus is very easy compared to off campus placements.

Campus life at NITW is quite good. Quality of infrastructure and maintenance is one of the best in all NITs although it being a government institute. There is two big fest in NITW, one technical fest called Technozion hosted in odd semester and one culture fest called Spring's Spree in even semester. Library is well equipped with books with a count of more than 1lakh books. But there is no diversity in type of books in the library. Classroom are well equipped and ventillated. There are various clubs in NITW but most people have bad experience with clubs. It seems there is not that great support and attention towards sports and extra curricular activities from institute side.

The hostel facility is very good compared to other government institutes. Although the maintenance of hostels is questionable. In one room you get accommodation of one bed, one chair, one table, almirah. Every room has a facility of LAN through which you can connect to high-speed internet. Hostels are located inside the campus only. There is various mess that provides food for the students on campus with different contractors. The quality and taste of food are different in a different mess. It's a mess, so you should not expect it highly. It's one of the worst messes in all NITs and IITs. Registration for a hostel is very easy and affordable for middle-class students.
