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.
Which is better for ECE NIT Jalandhar or NIT Kurukshetra?
In my opinion, NIT Kurukshetra is better than NIT Jalandhar. Some strong points that support my opinion are:
-
The new director at NIT Kurukshetra has brought about a spike in the rankings of the institute. Reputed firms visit the campus for placements.
-
Before the reign of the new director, ECE from NIT Kurukshetra was considered a difficult task. But now things have changed for the better. You can pass your exams by studying hard and scoring well. The results are no more unpredictable.
-
The infrastructure is top notch and the labs are well-equipped with costly software. If you are motivated enough you can develop good skills here.
A major shortcoming of this NIT is its faculty. Some professors are really good while some even lack the basics. You might get frustrated but remember you need to keep yourself motivated to succeed.

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

Can we do biotechnology at NIT Jalandhar?
No, personally I wouldn’t suggest pursuing biotechnology at NIT Jalandhar. But still, if you have decided on that consider the following points:
-
Learn to code also. This is because the number of placements for biotechnology is very few. So you can get into an IT Company.
-
If you are seriously interested in biotechnology then the best option is to sit for the GRE or TOEFL and do masters in a foreign university.
-
The last option is to prepare for an MBA.
So to pursue biotechnology in the long run you must aim at moving abroad. The scope is high in foreign universities.

What should be preferred, Electrical at IIT Ropar, CSE at NIT Jalandhar or Computer Engineering at Thapar University?
Rather than comparing the colleges, it’s better you identify your area of interest. Your own perspective gets to decide the college best suited for you. My friend is an IIT Ropar Electrical Engineering pass-out. She made the decision after considering the following aspects:
-
Overall Development: IIT Ropar is a student-run college. The students here are the fuel driving the college. Most of the activities from the orientation of new students to the mentorship of juniors during placements are handled by the students themselves. These opportunities help them identify their own true self and capabilities. They just don’t grow academically but also as a whole.
-
Interdisciplinary Learning: IIT Ropar promotes interdisciplinary learning. In fact, many EE students take up CS courses as electives and end up with CS jobs.
-
Brand Name: No matter how much one devalues this aspect it is indispensable. The IIT tag you will carry throughout your life will help you get admission to higher education and also jobs.
-
Crowd: The crowd at IIT is one of excellence. Everyone is ambitious and here to achieve great heights. These peer groups become a source of constant inspiration.
-
Alumni Association of IIT: This plays a significant role in developing and guiding placement drives at IIT Ropar. It offers mentorship to students and works with placement cells to ensure the best placements.
You can consider the same factors and compare the other two colleges. But I think IIT cannot be compared to just any college.
