Inside NIT Kurukshetra

I chose this course because I was uncertain about my future aspirations whether I want to work in the IT sector or the core job, or if I wanted to go for UPSC preparation. Faculty: student ratio is average when compared to other colleges, which is about 1:16. The teachers are well-qualified and have good communication skills. I know a teacher who is a great researcher from IISC. Teaching methods can be greatly improved as some teachers just come and read notes or read books. Term-wise exams are about 2 months apart as our semester is short. They comprise 20 marks and they are on the easy to moderate side, if you have listened to lectures in class, you can pass with flying colours.

Companies such as DE Shaw, Texas Instruments, and Google provide internships with a stipend of up to 50,000. Many projects such as soil nutrients detection systems, and vehicle number plate detection systems were done by third-year students.

Students are eligible for campus placements in their 8th semester, before which they can do internships for a period of 6 months. Top companies like Microsoft, Adobe, Accenture, Flipkart, and Amazon visited the college. Around 150 offers were made to 124 students in the Electronics department in the year 2021-2022 . The highest package was 1.25 cr/annum in the college, and for the ECE branch, it was 50 lpa. The average package for ece was 17.12 lpa, and the whole average was 13.89 lpa. The high packages were offered for full-stack developers and data analysts, scientists. A total of 82.72 per cent of students got placed successfully on campus. My plan is to work as a data scientist and run a startup based on it. I think my college has the facilities which can avail me of these career opportunities.

Earlier fees used to be less than 70000 but now fees are about 78000 per semester. This hike was done to provide students with additional facilities. Currently, I am about to complete my first year, so I didn't do any internship now. Also, I did not get any financial assistance or scholarship.

The annual tech fest is Techspardha. It happens generally during September - October, but for 2023, it happened on January 28-31. Several books and journals are in the library, also there is an e-library for institute students. We can go anytime and issue the book of our choice. The classroom has all modern amenities like a presentation smartscreen, adequate ventilation, air conditioners, and good desks. As the college is in Haryana, many sports events of nearby colleges and universities happen here, Also our sports teams go to IITs, NITs, and other colleges to play. Recently our basketball team won inter NIT competition at NIT Surathkal. There are various clubs, and societies run by students. There is Techno managerial Society (Microbus), Embedded Systems and Robotics, and Antariksh (astronomy) Society. Also, there are cultural clubs run by students such as Freaks, avian. There is a club for each genre here.
