Remarks

The college management is quite flexible in our college. We have freedom inside the campus to explore ourselves even more. The extent of strictness on ragging and other activities even makes it a heaven for freshers especially.

Entrance Preview

I scored 94% in the class 12th CBSE board exam, qualified JEE MAIN with 128 marks. I also qualified SNUSAT, the entrance exam of SNU and took admission here. The multidisciplinary curriculum attracted me towards SNU. The infrastructure and the freedom the student body gets here in terms of academics and other imp decision making is appreciable.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

We are allowed to choose any minor degree besides graduating with a minor. A student majoring in let's say, Mechanical Engg has the option to have a minor degree in sociology, English, history, economics, maths, physics, CSE, electrical, etc. The faculty is decent. The admin is also trying hard every year to make the overall curriculum student friendly.

Internships Opportunities

Yes, it does. I myself got a PPO internship at DAIKIN this summer, 2018. The CDC team is trying hard every year to get more and number of students get selected in the core and non-core internships through college.

Placement Experience

3.5

It's a research-oriented university. Most of the students opt for higher studies. Placement for CSE is quite good. Though the core branches are still struggling both students and admin are trying to improve the situation every year. We are also given practice assignments by CDC (career development center) as per our branch to prepare during our summer vacations.

College Events

Annual fest, BREEZE INTRA FEST every march. Intra and inter sports fest Singing, dancing, poetry, stand up comedy events by the respective clubs all throughout the year. Though most of the clubs are inactive in the quizzing society, dance and music society, drama society is quite active and regularly come up with the variety of events.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It's feasible. Most of the students get a scholarship. I got a B scholarship and my fees for the 4 years combined is 7 lakh rupees which includes everything from a mess, laundry, hostel, etc. If you fail to get 6.5 SGPA in a semester, you lose your scholarship for the next sem. You can, however, gain the scholarship again if you get 6.5 and above sgpa next semester.

Fees and Financial Aid

I scored 94% in CBSE class 12th board and got a B scholarship. Anyone above 90%(cbse) gets B scholarship. Above 94% you get A scholarship. Above 85% you get C scholarship. This greatly reduces the overall fees you have to actually pay here. I am speaking only about cbse. State and other boards also have different criteria for a scholarship.

Campus Life

Campus life is one of the best that you can expect. There is np in timings to the hostel neither for boys nor for girls. The gender ratio is maintained here. We have 280 girls out of 620 total students for my batch(2019). You get students from all the states here. In my batch, we have students from 22 states of our country. Robotics club is not active. The clubs organizes many activities throughout the year and take up students as their member almost every semester. Labs are at par with IIT'.

Hostel Facilities

Rooms are really good. Quad sharing in 1st year, twin sharing in 2nd and 3rd year and single rooms in a 4th year. You can get almost everything here that you can expect in an Indian Dhaba. Quality of the food is also good except for some rare occasions do the students have complaints regarding the taste. Also, there is no in-time or out-time in the hostel for boys and girls.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

It is a new college and hence it is in the process of building a strong alumni network. Seniors are helpful. There is no culture of Ragging in our university. The seniors and juniors often work together in clubs, sports, etc.

Exam Structure

The mid semester exams are hectic. Most students get 2 or even 3 in a day. Admin should seriously look into it. End semester is nicely spread in the scheduled dates. Teachers often take regular quizzes, assignments to keep students in track though it often gets hectic.

Admission

I wrote SNUSAT and qualified to took admission here. The exam consisted of aptitude questions related to PCM, assertion reason type, quantitative aptitude and logical reasoning questions along with writing 2 essays. The form we submitted before giving SNUSAT also had a good weightage in determining the overall score for the exam. The form enquires about all your extra cocurricular activities, achievements, certificates, academics.

Faculty

3.5

Almost all the faculties teaching are Ph.D. They are proficient in the field and extensively involved in their research work. Though considering only teaching, I would rate them 7/10. The faculty push students towards research projects. Every individual is free to have an OUR(opportunity for undergrad research) paper presented and published in the first 3 years besides final year project

A honest review about NIET(fees, internship,faculties,placements,and everything you need to know before joining)

Likes

The quality of study is very appreciable. As our syllabus is very updated. Also the practical knowledge in colleges very good as well.
New buildings for 1st year as to prevent ragging is a very plus point. This prevent first year student from ragging and also give them a very friendly and good environment as well.
The placements are very good as in terms of quantity and quality as well many many companies came here and also many big companies which do not come in any other colleges in greater Noida also come in NIET.

Dislikes

The one thing I decide is high requirement of attendance which is 85% attendance by this criteria we get less time in fore hours kill enhancement and learning other things.
Also the coding culture is quite not good for 1st year as well so this thing also I don't like.
The other thing I don't like is that the assignments pressure was quite high in semester one and very very much assignments was given to our branches as well.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for setting in the campus placements is from 6 semester. And for internships the students become eligible from 4th semester and the internship is mandatory for every student. The companies visiting the college are quite in number. The highest placements which was offered during the ongoing placement is 44 lpa. And the average packages for company and profiles of a days 7 to 8 LP. The percentage of students getting placements are very good as 80 to 90% students are getting placed. My plans after getting the degree is to get the highest placement

one of the best things about iiit Lucknow is the senior junior culture senior 8 January approachable and helpful
IIIT Lucknow has developed are reputation for its coding culture competitive programming open source project and hackettrons are deeply immediate
another unique aspect is the gender ratio which is the round one girl for every 2.5 poise compared to take institute is relatively balanced and healthy

Dislikes

compare to other reputed College Lucknow does not have very vibrant fest culture there are fewer culture music
hostel life has its advantages but the dormitories system from 2nd year onward is a big negative for many living with 8 to 12 student
most of faculty members simply come to class 11 lecture and their leave without much interest in melting student or classifying doubts

Placement Experience:

student are eligible for internship from second year and for job placement i think its from 3rd year highest is 1.45crpa avg 33lpa median is 26lpa this year around 201 from 209 get placement to that make around 96 %

I also liked the ground and sports facilities of our college . Our college has 3 big grounds and a sac also a gym which has latest equipments and many more things.
The fests of our college is amazing , recently a fest called kashiyatra happened which is biggest fest of our college

In our college the equipments in manufacturing practice are very old they are rusted and facilities don't even want to tell about those equipments. They are lazy .
Our college IIT bhu don't have their boundaries it is connected to bhu that's why clashes happened every month . Students of IIT and bhu fight every month and the service of proctor in IIT bhu is very disrespectful,they are lazy and don't take actio

Placement Experience:

Our college IIT bhu provides placement at end of year companies came for hiring students and hire them . Our IIT has 2nd rank in terms of placement in all iits. At the end of 3rd year students became eligible for campus placements. Our college also provide internship in third year companies came for internship in our college. My plans after getting degree is to get a high paying job in india and give financial stability to my family. Approximately 70 percent students get job in placement sessions.

Inside Experience of my Time in University

Likes

I really liked learning in the Electrical Workshop. The Smithy Shop and the Welding Shop were my favourites. The Faculty there, were truly very enthusiastic and not stressful. The Electrical Workshop helps us to learn the hands on skills, of labour.
I liked the Cultural Fiesta, which is an Annual Event, where different Artistic, Technical and Sport Activities were prevalent. My favourites were Jam, Debate, Artwork, Basketball, Skits and Corner Plays, Creative Writing Sessions, Onstage activities
I liked the beautiful diversity and greenery of my University, different departments, crossing one another, everyone is friendly with one another. No unnecessary mess, during the class sessions, and there were not any such restrictions while we skip.

Dislikes

I did not like the high fees structure, which surrounded with our Course, as Btech is a vast expanded course, that requires more practical skill mastery, rather than theoretical study. I think the fees structure must be revised for deserving students
The Faculty were pretty knowledgeable, but I guess they did not put their knowledge into full action. Only a few Teachers focused upon enlightening the students with profitable learning. The use of resources and knowledge is indeed must for such.
In comparision to the high fees structure, I realised that the internship and campus placement opportunities were not adequate, to amass all the departments and their students. A Company Campus Pool is not something for both Commerce and Engineering

Placement Experience:

Placements are both on and off-campus based. Placements are usually common for both IT and Non-IT students, Technical or Non-Technical. Students become eligible, in their final years to pursue internships or acquire placements. Usually students from Computer Science and Engineering avail more placement opportunities. The Medical Department have more options of Employability. Companies like HCL, Byju's, Extramarks, IBM and other local companies like Stambh Power Systems, Pieinfocomm and others have arrived. But the placement ratio needs to be increased. Off-Campus Placements are more successful. Highest Package can be 8lpa CTC to average package be 2.5lpa CTC, with profiles of assistance and associates. Atleast 30% students get placed on average. My plans are based on Learning in different ways.

College friends only there is not a single thing that college will provide you to like about it.

Dislikes

College infrastructure and no one is serious about placement
TPO and Director behaviour they are totally unable to make your future bright

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would like to inform uh that electronic and communication is a very good trade to choose. So many carreer opportunities if you will go in in industrial area, or in government sector. Make some connections with ur seniors others it is tough to enter in industry for freshers.

Very good University

Well, this college is owned by shiv Nadar, there if you want to get in you need to clear the exam, they ask your board percentage, Jee marks and you also need to clear the exam and then they decide which branch you need to get. All facilities are well qualified and they are from very good backgrounds. They are from IITs and big institutes. They have really great technical and theoretical knowledge. Exams are really tough like in IITs but this is a good thing students will become more intelligent through them. It has a great infrastructure room equipped with ac and all facilities. Also, all campus is full of trees and so many things it also has a great opportunity for those who wanted to take part in sports like it has all sports ground for football and cricket. It really has very good placement like for CS last year it has placement package above 41 lakhs and average package is 14 lakh same for other courses too. It's is a really good University and it growing exponentially year by year. It will recommend....Read More

Life at Shiv Nadar University

In Shiv Nadar University ,there is an infrastructure for research which is generally not found in many colleges. The faculties are cooperative .The health care facility is good. The curriculum allows us the flexibility to take courses of our choice along with compulsory one and it also gives the privilege of completing a minor in a subject of our choice so there are people who do major in CSE and minor in management or mathematics. The mess food is healthy and for delicacies there is restaurant in the campus. The only drawback which I feel is that the location is remote and it takes almost 2 hours to reach Delhi Airport . In 2019,I had given SNUSAT conducted by Shiv Nadar University and it also serves as a deciding factor for admission. It deals with aptitude section and there is on the spot essay writing. I took admission in this college as it has faculties who are in research and their alumni are in famous universities and have an active placement and career development cell....Read More
