The table above summarises the placement trends at NIT Jalandhar 2022.
I hail from Telangana(Hyderabad) and I initially joined NIT Jalandhar because of its high ranking. But right after my admission the ranking stooped below 100.
I started regretting my decision to join NIT Jalandhar. But it was during the time of placements that I was finally content with my decision.
NIT Jalandhar’s training and placement cell is exceptionally good. Even though NIT Jalandhar’s rank is above 100 it is in the top 10 in NITs placement ranking. Also the average placements see a rise every year.
So rather than focusing on the ranking of the college, focus on your own motivation.
NIT Jalandhar has 7 standalone hostels apart from mega hostels. These are named as:
Hostel 1 and 2
Hostel 3-7E
Mega hostels
Hostel 1 has no internet facilities whereas Hostel 2 has a LAN facility.
You cannot use A/C or coolers in the first year. But the fans that are installed will be more than enough. From the second year you can avail A/C and cooler facilities.
No, freshers don’t get a single room hostel. During the first year you have to share the room with 3 other boys. From the second year you can opt for a single room.
PEC's previous director wasn’t a very good educationist. The infrastructure, curriculum and the extracurriculars suffered under his leadership.
But things have changed in PEC now. The new director has the opposite ideals. There has been a gradual increase in the quality of education at PEC. Some changes are:
Infrastructure is being improved
The curriculum has been made more challenging
PEC Fest stole the show for the year
So the long standing reputation combined with the strong alumni network will not disappoint you. PEC is not losing its good ranking and NIT Jalandhar is nowhere near it.
Every coin has two sides. Similarly the institute NIT Jalandhar has both pros and cons.
Pros-
Friendly ambiance. Seniors are there for support. Ragging is strictly prohibited
The mess food is usually Punjabi and quite delicious
Alot of emphasis is placed on extracurricular activities. There are various clubs like LADS, MADS etc. Various cultural events are also held.
The seniors here are literal genius and interactions with them is very beneficial
Placement opportunities are pretty good at every branch
Proper hygiene facilities and lush green infrastructure add to its ambiance. New lecture halls and departments are under construction.
Great exposure through technical and cultural events Techniti and Utkansh
New short term courses are launched under GIAN (Global Initiative of Academic Networks )
International workshops and conferences that are held frequently help you gain a lot of experience
Cons-
The quality of faculty here is below average. They focus more on bookish knowledge than a broader practical approach.
Technical events resemble cultural events
No assistance is provided for training.
Marks matter more than general excellence. Everyone is in a war to secure the highest CGPA.
The 75% attendance rule works against the favour of many students.
So we can say that the merits overshadow the demerits to a great extent. In fact every NIT has similar cons which are almost uncontrollable. So just be a great learner and focus on your own betterment.
