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.
M.Tech from NIT Jalandhar is not particularly useful for placement in manufacturing technology.
The reality is that M.Tech from NIT Jalandhar is like any other college, and NIT Jalandhar only focuses on placement for their Undergraduate students, though they may arrange a placement drive for M.Tech students if necessary. So, if a student is exceptionally bright and possesses exceptional practical knowledge, he will be chosen for campus placement.
Another issue is that there aren't enough companies in the region with manufacturing technology backgrounds.
Here are a few tips that will make your first year at NIT Jalandhar easier.
Focus on building a network as well. Get to know your seniors, batchmates, and your teachers.
NIT Jalandhar is conducting its placement drive for the batch 2022 and there was an increase in the Average CTC which increased to INR 11.87 LPA from INR 8.5 LPA and the Highest CTC stood at INR 62 LPA. Till now 17 companies participated in the placement drive & 162 students were placed.

My brother is an NITJ alumni and he strongly recommends joining NCC in NIT Jalandhar. Some points that support his recommendation are:
Reserved qouta in various exams like SSC-CGL
Excellent exposure
No compulsory attendance at athletic fest
Disciplined life that leads to self improvement
A touch of life of Armed Forces
Apart from NCC, NSS is also a good option. But don’t go for NSO at all. There are hardly any benefits to avail of.
Both NIT Jamshedpur and NIT Jalandhar offer excellent B.Tech CSE programs and have a good track record of placements. However, if you have to choose one of the two based solely on placements, it would be recommended to go for CSE NIT Jamshedpur. Here are a few reasons why:
Both colleges have a good reputation and offer quality education in the field of Computer Science. Placements are just one of the many factors to consider when choosing a college, and it's recommended to research and compare the colleges based on factors such as curriculum, faculty, infrastructure, and campus life before making a decision.
No college is good or bad. It’s your own attitude that determines whether it’s good or not. Colleges affect you 30%. The rest 70% is influenced by your own motivation and hard work.
No matter how bad your college is, if you have invested sincere efforts you will reap good results. And if you are in the highest ranked college but you lack the will to succeed then the college won’t help you succeed. It’s you who decides your future. Don’t let a mere college decide it.
Same is the case with NIT Jalandhar. Although there are some misconceptions about its worth, the fact is that if you really work hard here, you will land a decent job.
