College has a well maintained infrastructure

Management should trust the students more. A bit more autonomy will make them bold and prepare them for future life situations.

AIEEE AIR - 10847 I wanted Mechanical Engineering branch. It was available in NIT Raipur so took it.

It was very detailed but at the very same time it looked dated. I appreciate the importance of going through the basics but going through the evolutionary steps in full detail just marred the interest whatsoever in the subject and reduced it to a simple process of memorizing stuff and reproducing in the exam. Some courses were new and exciting. The initiative and intent to overhaul the curriculum was there but the pace left much to be wanted.

No, atleast not when I used to study there. We had to find places for internship on our own. We could reach out to professors for industry connect and leads but there was no official process.

Great. Atleast for core branches with PSUs and lot of Automobile opportunities it was at par with the best of colleges. Among PSUs, all maharatnas and navratnas would come and were more of a mass-recruiter for us offering packages to the tune of 10LPA(then). There was also a long list of Auto majors visiting the campus offering packages in the range of of 5-6LPA.

1) Cultural fest - Eclectika 2) Tech Fest 3) Sports fest 4) E-cell used to do something on entreprenuership 5) Branch level tech fests - Mechanical, Electrical, Civil 6) Go Green committee used to have something on environment Its been some time and so I don't remember the names of most of them.

One of the lowest in India.I do not remember the exact details but roughly it would cost 1 lakh per year ( 2 semesters) including hostel & college fees. At that time, there was a variance between fees of different NITs, however it was rationalized later.

OPJEMS & DAAD were the two popular ones. OPJEMS was for the top 20 of any batch. DAAD was for internship with a foreign university. I did not qualify for OPJEMS and wasn't interested in DAAD, so won't be able to share much info on that.

It was a chilled out place. If you want to study, go study. If not, you can still survive and sail through smoothly. It was more of a place to figure out what you like and not what you should be doing. Most people would say strong relationships/friendships was the biggest boost the college provide to their life.

Hostel rooms were big bit due to sudden increase in the student intake 3-sharing rooms were made 4-sharing on ad-hoc basis. The construction for a 800-seater new hostel started when i was in 3rd year. It must be completed by now (haven't visited since then), so things must be changed by now.

Alumni connect wasn't very strong. There were some initiatives on that front but it was too little and too late. Seniors were very approachable and helpful on almost everything one may need to know.

Semester wise pattern - Each semester has a total of 6 subjects. Each subject has a theoretical maximum of 1000 marks on offer with about even split between internal marks of practicals & projects and written end-of-semester papers. Long gaps during exams led to a chilled out environment for preparations. Labs were very adequately distributed in the calendar

1) Notification released in leading newspapers. Also, buzz makes one aware of important exams. 2) Forms were purchased from local bookstores 3) Forms were filled & sent to Delhi office of CBSE 4) Recived Admit card for written examination 5) AIEEE - Written Exam 6) Central Counselling at NIT Allahabad [Home State] 7) Reporting and document verification at NIT Raipur [Allotted college]

Some were undoubtedly the best of the pack one could find. With there years of experience in the field, the depth of knowledge was palpable and awe-inspiring. However, for some subjects, it was more of a formality with professors with no experience taking full responsibility of the subject. It was a game of chance wherein sometimes we got lucky with passionate young professors, while at other times it was a mere chore to attend classes
