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.
You may not find NIT Jalandhar to be particularly focused on coding, but there are some skilled coders and developers in the student body.
You can find more information about the coding society by checking the NIT Jalandhar website or contacting current students through Facebook.
Situation at PEC Chandigarh is pretty good currently. The new director has brought about a prominent change in the earlier stagnant situation at PEC. He has broadened the approach with an exhaustive curriculum and better infrastructure.
The next best change he has brought about is amazing placement opportunities. If you are from a branch like CS Or Mechanical, you will definitely land a core job. Highest package this year was INR 42 LPA.
Lots of sports facilities are improving. Other facilities include new centres like Siemens Centre of excellence(only 3 more in India) and solar tech park
Voyagers scheme where students get funded by college to explore rural India is surely another game changing feature of the college.
Extracurricular activities are also valued here and there are a lot of clubs to pursue your hobby.
The quality of faculty is also increasing gradually.
All these changes prove that you should definitely go for PEC over NIT Jalandhar.
There is nothing called a better college. One college can be good for you but bad for others. Similarly a college can be bad for someone else but perfect for you. Every college has its own flaws. So it depends on how much you are willing to overlook and get the best results.
Still if I have to make a choice among the above colleges, I will go for NIT Hamirpur. The peaceful ambiance and beautiful infrastructure is worth it.
NIT Kurukshetra or PEC Chandigarh are the best options for you. You can certainly cross NIT Jalandhar off your list.
The practical labs at NITJ are not well-equipped, and the majority of the equipment is broken. The faculty, on the other hand, is excellent. You should not make NITJ your top priority.
One of my friends recently attended the quora meet-up and told me that it was just awesome.
My friend told me that it was a memorable day for him, and he is very keen on such meetups again and again.
To know how the Civil branch at NIT Jalandhar is, we need to consider 3 factors:
Academic: The theoretical subjects are well taught by top notch faculty. The labs are however not in very good condition here.
Internships: There are not great internship opportunities here. Students themselves are not interested in spending their summers at the site.
Placements: L&T is the major recruiter in private companies for civil engineers .For public jobs you need to appear for GATE for PSUs. If you have completed any internship, then placements will be very easy for you.
All in all NIT Jalandhar is a great choice to pursue Civil Engineering.
You should prefer IT at IIIT Allahabad. It has a better placement record, coding culture, and peer group. IIIT Allahabad also has a better industry reach compared to NIT Jalandhar. Industry giants such as Facebook, Google, etc. take part in the placement drive. During IIIT Allahabad placements in 2022, 100% of students got placed. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 1.4 CPA.
