What is your review of mechanical engineering in NIT Jalandhar?
Mechanical Engineering at NIT Jalandhar is not for non-interested students. It’s one of the most feared branches at NIT Jalandhar. But it has a lot of pros that weigh out its cons.
Pros:
-
Good placement opportunities

Decent exposure

Well equipped labs

Experienced faculty

They prepare you for the hardships unlike other branches
The only major drawback is its very strict faculty. The marking pattern is also very rigid. The level of difficulty is higher than that of JEE Advance. But in the long run, this drawback actually becomes a blessing in disguise. You actually gain a lot of knowledge and opportunities to improve yourself as a whole.
What should I choose: NIT Jalandhar mechanical or UIET Chandigarh CSE?
Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science are two completely different fields. Rather than a brand name, you should choose a branch based on your interests. A bright future requires you to be happy, which requires you to work on projects that you enjoy.
According to reports, NIT Jalandhar is a good institute. The CSE program at UIET Chandigarh is unquestionably excellent.
Can I fill only one college (for example, NIT Jalandhar) for the choice filling of JoSAA counselling?

No matter how many choices you fill, you will get the seat that is in the top of the priority list

What should be my preference between NIT Kurukshetra IT branch and NIT Jalandhar CSE branch?
Pursuing CSE from any Tier-1 college will be very beneficial for your career as it’s one of the most coveted branches today.
NIT Jalandhar all three branches CSE, IT, and ECE are the top ones with excellent placements. These branches offer excellent job opportunities irrespective of the fact that you know how to code or not. Students of these branches are placed in companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Samsung, Flipkart, Paytm, and even Google. Additionally, a 6-month internship program in the 8th semester is offered wherein you can intern in any company (off-campus or on-campus) and earn while being a student.
So, you can put your worries to rest if you are only concerned about placements.
Does a backlog affect placements in NIT Jalandhar?
Whether a backlog affects placements in NIT Jalandhar or not varies from company to company. These are various circumstances of backlogs and their consequences:
-
No current backlogs: this means you had a backlog in previous years that has already been cleared. In this case, most companies allow you to sit for placements.
-
Current backlog: This means you have a backlog in the current semester. Most companies don’t let you sit for placements but some ask you to clear your backlog and then join.
-
Backlog after placement: If you get a backlog in a subject after the placement, then you will have to clear it before joining. In case you have more than one backlog and are unable to clear it, you will end up losing your job.
So it’s better you focus on your CGPA, especially in the last semester. We know that prevention is better than cure. Rather than losing your job, it’s better you work hard on your grades.

What is the first day like at NIT Jalandhar?
My sister is an NIT Jalandhar pass out and when asked, she narrated her experience of her first day at the institute.
The classes were scheduled to start at 8 am so everyone was almost awake by 6 am. They waited for their chance to take showers. Then they left the hostel for their classes.
The rules for the first-year students were pretty strict during the initial months. Students were just allowed to go back and forth between their hostels and classes. They could not explore the campus at all initially. So they had no idea where their class was located. The students were given the timetable of the classes. Each subject had a specific code. After a little struggle, they found their classes and attended their first lecture at NIT Jalandhar. The labs were easy to find as many roommates were in the same batch.
