Exploring Academics and Campus Life at NIT Jalandhar

I chose Mechanical Engineering here because I had an interest in how machines operate and to learn different technologies. I have no regrets regarding my Branch, I left NSUT Instrumentation and Control Engineering for NIT-J Mechanical Engineering. The Faculty: Student ratio is 1:10, Faculty to Student ratio is good, Teachers are best here Professors are highly qualified with PhDs from IITs and other Top Universities. Most of the Faculties are Assistant Professors We have a Mid Semester exam and an End Semester Exam during a Semester. Exams are not that easy to score, studying just before 1 night and getting passed is like a joke, it only happens in movies. Teachers gave us very low marks even after trying our best in Exams, for 1-1 marks also we had to beg to teachers, it's very tough sometimes.

As NIT Jalandhar is a National College, so for getting admission at here a person from general should score around 95 percentile in the JEE Mains Examination and further Counseling process is done via the JOSAA and CSAB. After I got to this college, a date will be given on which we have to do physical reporting at the institute. All the mentioned documents are verified physically and the Student should have the required documents for a smooth admission process.
