How is it to be a student at NIT Jalandhar.

Everything is pretty managed and ordered in curriculum as it covers almost everything that one needs to learn as an engineer but still what it's lacking is introduction to many new technologies that are being developed, curriculum stull focuses on a large amount to time to learn the technologies that are so primitive that those are not being used even a decade ago.

Still a lot of improvement needs to be done as internship opportunities are really poor, very few companies visit institute to offer internships and remaining students manage to have internships on their own.

Though Placements here are somewhat satisfactory as compared to the situation outside but still the Training and Placement Cell needs to improve a lot. Overall placement percentage of College is good with an average package of around 7 LPA (I got placed at Reliance Industries at 7.5 LPA)

Being a National Institute of Technology, a government college, it is really affordable and also provides various waviers in fee for OBC students economically weak and the students whose family income is less than 5 LPA. Institute tuition fee is completely waived off for SC/ST Students and all those whose family income is less than 1 LPA.

Campus life of NITJ is quite decent, though it doesn't provide extraordinary campus life Pvt colleges or top IITs or NITs but still anyone who's willing to enjoy his/her 4 years here joining various clubs, enjoying fests, hanging out with friends in canteens, or even studying alone in library, he/she will not get disappointed.

Hostel facilities provided here are somewhat average and will provide only very basic amenities like bed , table chair, cupboard,light and fan. None of the hostels provide air conditioned or even cooler rooms which makes it very difficult for students at summers are quite hot here. Mess menu and quality is completely managed by student committee hence the food is ok. Hostel registrations and fee payments are done online and fee is around 90K yearly including everything.

Admission process is same as that of any other IITs or NITs as the seat is allotted on the basis of JEE Mains rank after JoSAA and CSAB Councelling rounds and the cutoffs to secure a seat in my course i.e. BTech in Textile Technology was around 50K rank in JEE Mains for other state General males.

Faculty to student ratio is quite good as I never faced any difficulty in reaching out to them, moreover all the faculties here are PhDs and well experienced to industries and many of them share their experiences frequently with the children.
