life at iiitn

I chose this course because the syllabus looked really good and covered a lot. But after joining, I saw it’s actually pretty tough. Just going to classes isn’t enough you really need to study on your own too. Some topics are useful for real-life stuff, but a lot still feels too theory-based. Exams happen every sem and they’re not easy at all. You need to properly understand things or it gets hard to manage.

Placements in our branch are pretty decent, around 70–80% students get placed, and about 70% also manage to get internships. For CSE, the average package is somewhere between 10–12 LPA, and the highest went up to 90 LPA. Companies like Amazon, TCS, Zomato, Nvidia and a few more good ones have come for recruitment. Placement chances are growing too, since Nagpur is slowly turning into an IT hub.

For the first year, the total fee adds up to 2,46,300. This includes 1,98,000 as tuition, 30,300 under other miscellaneous charges, and a one-time deposit of 18,000 (which is only paid in the first year). The total gets split equally between the two semesters, 1,23,150 for the odd semester and the same for the even.

Our college has a bunch of clubs from extracurricular ones to technical and even esports clubs. They all take part in major college events too. Classrooms are pretty decent and have all the basic stuff you need. Labs are also well-equipped and everything mostly works fine. The sports club hasn’t started yet since the main ground wasn’t ready, but we do have courts for badminton, TT, basketball, and a few others.

The admission process is the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) mains conducted annually as this was the best college i could opt for my further studies so i took with no delay and now here i am. Although the college is still developing but it has great potential for future growth.

The faculty’s honestly a mix, a few are genuinely good and put in the effort, but yeah, some are just kinda there. You’ll figure out quickly who’s worth paying attention to. The curriculum? It’s packed. You can't survive just by showing up to lectures self-study is a must. Semester exams hit hard, and it’s like that for pretty much everyone. If you're not consistent, it piles up fast.

Nightlife isn’t that great here. There’s a night canteen in the college, but that’s about it. Hostel in-time for boys is 9:30 PM, so you can’t really go out late. Plus, getting to the city at night is tough since there’s no public transport you’ll have to book a cab if you really need to go.
