How is the mathematics department of NIT Jalandhar for MSc students?
The Mathematics department of NIT Jalandhar is newly established and so not at par with the M.Tech. department. The faculty is not that experienced either and you will find assistant teachers more. Most of the NITs don't have faculties of varied expertise for the MSc program. Moreover, placements are also just average. Most of the students apply for teaching jobs or Ph.D. So opt MSc in Mathematics only if it is your last choice. But if you have already joined it or are adamant about joining it then these tips will help you make the most of the course:
-
Keep in touch with the Mathematics fraternity around the world
-
Attend Mathematics seminars and conferences which will give you a better understanding of the subject and its applications.
-
Initiate things on your own during college seminars, departmental events, or technical fests.
-
Lastly, focus on your academics
You can make the most out of the resources of this department even if it is lacking in many aspects.
What should I choose: instrumentation and control at NIT Jalandhar or Thapar CSE interested in coding?
First and foremost, make certain that you are truly interested in coding. Consider whether you truly enjoy coding or if you are simply looking for a high-paying job. It's preferable if you've previously attempted coding.
The most important aspect of BTech is that it is dependent on you rather than the college. The institute only provides you with resources. You should take advantage of it.
Out of the 80 students in the class of 2021, approximately 60-65 were placed. Oracle's highest salary package is 12 LPA, while its lowest salary package is 6 LPA. The majority of ICE students are placed in software and data analysis companies. Top recruiting firms include Deloitte, Oracle, PayTm, Nagarro, Standard Chartered, and Intuit, among others.
You must evaluate the NIT tag, fees, reputation, and so on. If you are truly passionate about coding, you should definitely choose Thapar CSE; otherwise, you can choose NITJ ICE.
Whatever path you choose, make the most of yourself and your college resources.
What are the chances of getting into coding after joining ICE in NIT Jalandhar? Do companies visiting NITJ allow ICE students to sit in on-campus placement?
The first thing you need to understand is that your chances of getting into coding do not depend on your branch.
NIT Jalandhar has an extensive coding environment and almost every student irrespective of their branch wants to learn to code. It also has some amazing clubs like DSC-NIT to help you recognize your interests in coding and other fields like Cloud Computing, Web Development, Android Development & Machine learning.
At NITJ, you will learn coding in your first year only as a part of your 1st-year course curriculum as CP (Computer Programming).
As far as the ICE branch is concerned, it’s the most coveted branch. So if you have joined it you are very lucky. The best part about this branch is its Data Structures & Algorithms course. It is a completely technical course that teaches the most important aspects of coding.
Placements
You don’t need to worry about the on-campus placements. Everyone with
-
a good CGPA (7.5+)
-
good skills like coding,
will easily secure a good package. Placements are not restricted to just a few branches. Students from every branch can sit for placements. So don’t worry about that and just study hard.
How is life as a day scholar in NIT Jalandhar?
My brother was a day scholar at NIT Jalandhar and according to him being a day scholar in NIT Jalandhar is not easy. You might face several issues as a day scholar.
-
Making friends becomes more difficult as no one prefers a day scholar
-
You cannot enjoy the freedom of a hostel life
-
Commuting back and forth every day is a hefty task
-
You cannot participate in a lot of competitions and performances as they require long hours of stay
So if you want to make the most out of your college as a day scholar make sure you use all its resources to the fullest extent. Make the best of your time inside the campus and learn skills like typing.
What should I prefer: NIT Jalandhar mechanical or DTU MAM?
Between NIT Jalandhar Mechanical Engineering and DTU MAM, the latter is the better option. This is because the placements for DTU mechanical are excellent. Some of the most reputed firms that visit the campus are Bajaj, Volvo, Daimler-Benz, Brahmos Aerospace, Technip, Schlumberger, Caterpillar, etc. Most of my friends from the same branch were able to secure amazing packages at top firms.
The learning process at DTU is more extensive. It has a lot of Mechanical Engineering teams which can help you know your branch better.
So choose DTU over NIT.
NIT Jalandhar students secured 75 lakh packages. Is it beginning of the era of emergence of NITs over IITs
It’s good to see institutes other than IIT gaining fame. But the parameter of such assumptions is not good. Why do we Indians judge an institute mere based on the packages they offer. There are so many other false factors that increase or decrease the value of a man institute. So before deciding that NITs have become better than IITs consider the following points:
-
Placements and packages alone cannot determine the worth of a college.
-
Including IITs no college in India actually conducts the type of research a country needs.
-
There are many instances wherein companies prefer going to an average college for recruitment than a better ranked one. This is because they can than assure the sustainability of talents.
-
The starting salaries don’t help you succeed in the long run.
So we cannot say with certainty that NITs have overpowered IITs just because they were able to land better packages.

Which college will be better for me, NIT Trichy (production engineering) or NIT Jalandhar (CS, IT)?
Comparing the two NITs we know NIT Trichy has a better ranking than NIT Jalandhar. It also holds a stronger brand name. Unless you are extremely interested in Software, I suggest Production Engineering is a better choice. Some points to prove my opinion are:
-
NIT Trichy ranks in the top 15 engineering institutes in the country from a placement perspective.
-
More companies visit for campus placements like Amazon, Microsoft, Flipkart, and Cisco.
-
NIT Trichy has an upper hand in faculty, infrastructure, competitive environment, peers, resources, curriculum, labs, and alumni network.
-
Many finances, banking, consulting, etc. based roles are offered at NIT Trichy and these opportunities are considerably low at mid-level NITs such as NIT Jalandhar.
-
Post Graduation, if you wish to switch sectors then the brand name of NIT Trichy will help you along the way.
So don't lose a much stronger brand simply because of a simple stream issue. Years down the line, your credibility will be determined by the brand of NIT Trichy solely and not by production engineering at NIT Trichy.
What should be the preference order of NIT Jamshedpur CSE, NIT Jalandhar CSE, and NIT Patna CSE?
NIT JALANDHAR CSE should be prioritized over NIT JAMSHEDPUR CSE and NIT PATNA CSE. If you look at their placement, you'll see that there isn't much of a difference between these colleges when it comes to this branch. All you need is good infrastructure and a welcoming atmosphere; otherwise, sooner or later you will find yourself regretting your choice somewhere on campus. When discussing the infrastructure of these colleges, you must consider their NIRF ranking.
To be honest, NIT Patna's campus and facilities are fairly mediocre and unsatisfactory. Then there's NIT Jamshedpur, which is right next door. It, too, needs to improve significantly. However, because it is located in an industrial area, it attracts a large number of students who study Electrical, Mechanical, and other related fields.
