What is your review of mechanical engineering in NIT Jalandhar?

SJ
Samyak Jain Posted On : December 7th, 2022
B.tech from Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IITRPR) (Expected 2025)

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.

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.

Does a backlog affect placements in NIT Jalandhar?

AS
Arvin Sethi Posted On : December 8th, 2022
B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ ) (Graduated 2018)

Whether a backlog affects placements in NIT Jalandhar or not varies from company to company. These are various circumstances of backlogs and their consequences:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

PP
Pritish Poswal Posted On : December 6th, 2022
h from Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IITRPR) (Expected 2023)

NIT Durgapur is way ahead of NIT Jalandhar and NIT Jamshedpur in so many aspects. I have listed these factors below and drawn a general comparison between the three NITs.

  1. Competitive programming culture: The competitive programming culture is better at NIT Durgapur than at other NITs and the rankings in SPOJ prove it.

  2. Open source culture: The Open Source culture at NIT Durgapur is way better than any other NITs and even many IITs. The number of students in GSOC is also more than in other institutes.

  3. Infrastructure: NIT Jalandhar lacks the most when it comes to infrastructure. NIT Durgapur and NIT Jamshedpur are still comparable.

  4. Research culture: Both NIT Jalandhar and Jamshedpur are very stagnant in this area. Whereas in NIT Durgapur, professors and students take initiative in research projects. Also, foreign internships are considered here. It has collaboration with CERN Geneva and 6 students are sent every year for summers in Switzerland.

  5. Faculty: Leaving Jalandhar, both the NITs have a good faculty base and quality teaching. 

The order is - NIT Durgapur>NIT Jamshedpur>NIT Jalandhar

What is the first day like at NIT Jalandhar?

AS
Aaditya Sharma Posted On : December 6th, 2022
B.Tech in Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IITRPR) (Expected 2023

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.
