Course Curriculum Overview

I chose this course because I always loved science, technology and problem solving. It had the right mix of mathematics and technology to be very enjoyable and easy for me. Faculty:student ratio is about 1:60. All professors are very qualified with PhD degrees from reputed colleges of India such as IITs, NITs, JU etc. Term exams are followed with strict schedule and it is very easy to pass them.

Class Size: 190Course Fees: INR 125000 per year

Internships Opportunities

My friends got internships in reputed companies like Microsoft, Samsung, JPMC and Wells Fargo but I did not get any on-campus internship. I spent my summer working on my final year project with the help of the PhD scholars. My project was Honk Detection using Tensorflow Neural Networks.

Placement Experience

Students become eligible for campus placements in the third year of study. It is to be noted that in third year they can apply only for internships and subsequent pre-placement offers, while in fourth year the option to apply for full-time opportunities becomes available. Reputed tech companies such as Microsoft, Samsung, NVIDIA, Oracle, Qualcomm, finance companies like JPMC, Wells Fargo, BNY Mellon are some of the companies which offer placements in Computer Science. Many Indian and startup companies also visit our college for placements. Highest CTC is 51 lpa from Microsoft followed by 40 lpa from Samsung. In our batch almost 60% students are placed. My plans after getting the degree is to get a job either in private or public sector.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is different for different categories of students. The maximum course fee is 62500 per semester. The hostel fee is 10300 per semester. The distribution is as follows: For SC/ST/PwD: NO course fees, ONLY hostel fees For family income < 1 lakh/yr: NO course fees, ONLY hostel fees For family income > 1 lakh/yr and < 5 lakh/yr: 20000 course fees For family income > 5 lakh/yr: FULL course fees. The average CTC for CSE in 2024 is 9 lakh with around 60% placed till date.

Campus Life

4.5

Annual fest is named RECStacy and conducted in the month of April. It features various cultural programs with famous personalities. Annual tech fest is called AAROHAN and conducted in March. It features various tech shows, quizzes and fun games. All sorts of text/reference books and scientific journals are available in the library. All classrooms are spacious and equipped with projectors and audio systems. Our college regularly participates in Inter-NIT sports competitions. We have a football ground, a cricket ground, a gymnasium and many other sports facilities. We have clubs for different fields like Maths and Tech Club, Dance club, Literary club etc. For a detailed description of the clubs in our college visit https://nitdgp.ac.in/p/clubs-1

Hostel Facilities

There are different hostels for different years of students. First and second year boys get comparatively newer and larger hostel buildings with better rooms. The third and fourth year boys get older hostels which are crumbling down but livable. There is a maintenance crew available for every hostel and take prompt action when called. For UG girls there is a single large hostel which is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. For first and second years, since the food is supplied by private vendor, there are limited food options and cost is high. For third and fourth years students form a mess committee and can choose whatever they want to eat. The registration process is very easy, students get to choose their roommates and there is no issue of availability. Everyone gets accommodated.

Hostel Fee: INR 21000 per year

Admission

The admission process was based on JEE Main performance and through JoSAA counseling. There is no separate application form of the college, everything (including fee payment) is done through JoSAA portal. I had JEE Main AIR 13371, so I could easily qualify for B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering. The cutoff for B.Tech CSE in 2020 was AIR 16406. I am from General category so no reservation benefits. More customer service/helpline should be provided for students.

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

Classrooms are well equipped and are spacious.
There are many fun events that happen in the college

Dislikes

The campus area is too small. The library is not good
The societies are fully controlled by students so huge partiality goes on.
Some of the teachers are mean and are not good.

Placement Experience:

From the 3rd year onwards , students become eligible for internships and stepping in 4th yr , students get eligible for campus placement. Techno provides decent campus placements according to your marks. Good marks also with skills get you better salary. Minimum 7.5 cgpa is mandatory to have you sit for campus placements. The lowest package is 3.4 LPA and highest vary but students also get 14LPA easily. Wipro, tcs ,cap ,gemini, amazon , ibm etc.

LIFE AT NIT DURGAPUR

I applied for multiple NITs During Josaa Counselling but my top 5 suitable choice according to my home location and considering other limiting factors was NIT Rourkela, NIT Silchar, NIT Durgapur, NIT Patna and IIEST Shibpur. Apart from these, I have also Applied for Calcutta University and Jadavpur University. I have got approval from NIT DGP,Calcutta University and Jadavpur University. But I have chosen NIT because of better Placement records and better campus Life. Moreover it's an Institution of of National Importance and Hold a good NIRF rank. So I preferred this choice above others. I wasn't rejected from the above colleges, but simply i didn't get the eligible rank for them. And the 3 which I got, i choosed the best among them. The Admission process of NIT DGP was through Josaa and CSAB counselling. The College and the Branch will be alloted to you according to your rank in the JEE MAINS Examination. The Closing rank of this exam in 2025 of General Category for the lowest Branch in BTech is 63387. The overall admission process for the college, apart from hostel allotment, was completely online. 14-15 documents were to be submitted in pdf format in the specific website provided. The Process was overall smooth and Well Managed....Read More

NIT DURGAPUR - A Detailed Breakdown

I applied for GURU GHASIDAS UNIVERSITY, BILASPUR (a GFTI in chattishgarh) and i got an secured seat in the CSE department too of that college too in my 2nd round of JOSAA councelling but in the CSAB round 1 i got a seat in NIT Durgapur in the Biotechnology department. I was a NEET aspirant but due to scam of NEET 2024 i was unable to get a good rank and secure a good government medical college and i was passionate about biology from my childhood so i chose Biotechnology and obviously an NIT is far more better than any GFTI be it in terms of placement, infrastructure, environment or any other things. I applied for some higher prioritized brances too in my choice filling but due to poor rank i wasn't able to secure a seat there. Students get seats in NIT(s), IIIT(s) and in GFTI (s) through JOSAA (a counselling process of 5 rounds) and CSAB (a counselling process of 2 rounds) and in IIT (s) through JOSAA counselling only. Students secure their desired seats based on their merits with the rank that they obtained in their JEE Mains exams and JEE ADVANCED (for IIT ) although admission is based on ranks but the authority have criterias like you have to score 75% marks in maths ,physics and chemistry in your Boards exams or you should be among top 20 percentile students of your class 12th board exams there is a separate process of admission too for the foreign students and NRI students althogh the fees structure is very high for their courses.The overall counselling process was good and seamless but after allotment of the college, the document verification and fees submission process is a little hectic....Read More
