How is the placement in chemical engeenering in NIT Srinagar?
To be frank, the placement scenario in NIT Srinagar for the Chemical Engineering branch is below average. Most of the students have to struggle for placements in the IT sector as only a few companies allow students of all branches to sit for placements. The ones that don’t get placed have no option but to steer their goal toward GATE to pursue higher studies and make it to PSUs.
I asked a friend of mine for the exact placement scenario since the institute does not release official data. As per him, the placements are average as compared to non-core branches. Around 60-70% of students got placed in this course with the highest salary package offered around 18.5 LPA and the lowest salary package offered around 6 LPA. Some top recruiting companies are Vedantu, EIL, GAIL, ONGC, etc.
Overall, the chemical engineering branch will offer better opportunities only if you go for higher education.
I will get NIT Raipur, Puducherry, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Srinagar and Sikkim. Which one should I join?
The answer to this question depends on your personal preferences and expectations from your college-to-be.
If you prioritize infrastructure, NIT Srinagar has one of the most beautiful campuses among all the NITs. On the other hand, NIT Puducherry has a better faculty than all your other options.
Placement-wise, NIT Raipur has the best record among these colleges. However, the infrastructure and faculty of NIT Raipur are below average. But it is a good college for its sports facilities and senior-junior connections. There aren't any cases of ragging on its campus. Also, it offers better connectivity than the other NITs you’ve mentioned.
As for the northeastern NITs that you have mentioned, most people don’t choose them. This is because of lesser connectivity and a lack of overall facilities at them. Their placements aren’t at par with the other NITs. Also, you’ll experience totally different weather and culture over there. So you might face difficulties in adjusting.
Now the choice will also depend upon the branch you are offered at NIT Raipur, NIT Srinagar, and NIT Puducherry. If say, you are offered Biotech or Biomed at NIT Raipur and Civil at NIT Srinagar, without a doubt, go for the second option. Biotech and Biomed at NIT Raipur aren’t good choices.
Do NIT Srinagar teachers show partiality between Kashmiri and non-Kashmiri students?
My uncle works as a full-time faculty member at NIT Srinagar and has been in frequent contact with the faculty members. From what he has observed only one faculty member till date has been partial in grading. However, he was just a contractual faculty member and did not stay for a long time. He was biased towards Kshmiris both in terms of teaching and grading. Apart from him, he never came across a single teacher who has been biased towards or against locals or non-locals. They don’t care about the cultural background of the students and focus only on academics.
So rest assured, you won’t find any kind of partiality here!

One of my friends from Delhi is pursuing MTech from NIT Silchar. He claims it to be the best college in the North East at least for North Indians. However, the quality of food served is not very good and there are many varieties of veg food around the campus. The campus life is vibrant but it's better to go for other NITs in the North.
