What do people think about NIT Kurukshetra?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

People don’t talk much about NIT Kurukshetra as it’s not among the top NITs. But this certainly does not mean the institute is invaluable and not at par with other engineering colleges. The fact is, people from outside can only see the superficial layer and judge the college based on its infrastructure or placements but once you become a part of the institute you realize its uniqueness and feel attached to your college. 

For instance, BITS Pilani seems to be in a desolate area with no places to explore around. However, the reason it’s still one of the best engineering colleges is the people that constitute the college. So what people think about NIT Kurukshetra does not really matter. What matters is the quality of students which directly affects the reputation of the institute.

NIT Kurukshetra is in a similar situation because its remote location puts it at a slight disadvantage. It has one mall and only a few places to explore. However, NIT Kurukshetra in itself is slowly losing its charm because of deteriorating infrastructure and poor academic situation. Although the placement figures say otherwise, the students are well aware of the reality of the reality. Moroebercm, the general public knows about IITs but rarely about NITs.

Being an NIT Kurukshetra student, do you regret joining college?

SR
Sumit Roy Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra

You only regret if your expectations are not met and you have to experience the exact opposite. I don’t think joining NIT Kurukshetra will give you that kind of regret, considering it’s a decent college. It’s like any other college in most aspects where education revolves around rote learning. Like any other college, some of the professors are genuine and cooperative while some are just too arrogant. The first year hostels may disappoint you but from the second year, things will get better. Overall the campus is very beautiful with lush greenery.

NIT Kurukshetra will provide you the wings to fly and achieve your goals like any other institute and it’s you who has to utilize the resources to make the most out of them. You will be surprised by a very talented crowd that will teach you a lot academically as well as non-academically. 

Overall, the NIT tag, excellent placement scenario, crowd, and campus will definitely give you an edge over other average engineering colleges. All these factors will overshadow the flaws in the education system and academics of the college because the situation is similar everywhere.

Do I get enough time to prepare for the GATE with an MTech degree at NIT Kurukshetra?

SR
Sumit Roy Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra

Yes, as a student of NIT Kurukshetra, my brother told me that he had enough time to prepare for GATE with an MTech degree. In fact most of the students there can be seen preparing for competitive exams like IAS or CAT. The light workload of NIT Kurukshetra makes it possible for students to spare time for GATE. Here are some additional tips you can follow 

  1. Don't set high targets for your CGPA. A 7.5 CGPA is more than enough to get you through. Invest all your efforts in one thing i.e., GATE preparation.
  2. Choose an easy research topic in your second year that will not take up all your time. 
  3. Choosing the right meteor is also very crucial as sometimes they give you so much stress that your preparations might suffer. 

Follow the steps above and be serious about your goals and you are good to go.
