Which institute should I join, IIIT Naya Raipur or NIT Raipur?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 9th, 2023

As a student of IIIT Naya Raipur, I will tell you about the facilities provided at my college-

  1. IIIT Naya Raipur is newly established which means it has a modern infrastructure. The labs and lecture halls are well-equipped with ACs. Electronics labs contain all the necessary hardware and software equipment. Data science labs are good as well. The library is two-floored and contains a wide range of books. The hostel rooms are well-made. Canteen and mess facilities are provided in the hostels.
  2. The entire campus, including the hostels, canteen area and ground, all are covered by a strong wifi network.
  3. The curriculum is well-designed and in close alignment with the syllabus of top IITs and IIITs.
  4. You’ll be studying your branch from the first year itself.
  5. The institution has special cells developed to make its students prepare for their PG studies. 
  6. There is a provision for special scholarships for the students, based on their performance in semester exams.
  7. The students from this institution have won several coding, robotics and cultural competitions at various IITs and NITs.

I don’t know much about NIT Raipur, so I can’t compare the two. However, I would suggest you reach out to some seniors from NIT Raipur as well. This will help you establish a clear comparison between the two colleges. 

As far as IIIT Naya Raipur is concerned, it is a good institution with modern infrastructure and all the facilities.

Which is better, mechanical in BIT DURG or mining at NIT Raipur?

RS

B Tech from National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2014)

The students can get better placement in NIT Raipur. One will get good opportunities and exposure in the mining branch too. Moreover, the experience at NIT is far better than BIT DURG.

  • The curriculum followed by BIT DURG and even NIT Raipur is outdated.
  • The institute is at least 10 years behind the current industry practice as compared to NIT Raipur.
  • At least 30 years behind if we compare it with the US or European schools.
  • The industry clientele had taken leaps and bounds in terms of technology and what the students study is old-era theories that have little relevance in practice now. 
  • Many industries hire graduates through campus interviews, 1st train them for 3 to 6 months to prepare the students as per industry requirements and update the knowledge.

The table shows a brief overview of the institutions:

Particulars

NIT Raipur

BIT DURG

Median Salary

Rs. 9.5 lakhs

Rs. 6.5 lakhs

Highest Salary

Rs. 33 lakhs

Rs. 32 lakhs

Entrance Criteria

JEE Mains

CPET

Fees

Rs. 5.52 lakhs

Rs. 2.92 lakhs

So overall, if the students are into mechanical or mining, don't rely too much on what the book taught you, be aware of current trends and practices.

I will get NIT Raipur, Puducherry, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Srinagar and Sikkim. Which one should I join?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : September 9th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

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 all students get hostels at NIT Raipur?

AM
Amrita Mishra Posted On : April 15th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2020)

All the students at NIT Raipur do not get hostels as the institute provides a limited residential facility for boys and girls. There are only 5 boys and 3 girls hostels within the campus.

  • Hostel allocation is based on branch wise merit list. There is a cut-off score in each branch according to the total number of students and the number of accommodations available in the hostel. 
  • There is a reservation system. Aside from the merit list, the hostel allocation practice is also based on the category of students i.e General, SC, ST, OBC. A lot of deserving students don't get hostel accommodation.

This is a hostel allotment system for both Boys and Girls. Some of the students are day scholars while some do not favor staying in the hostel, but others are ready to stay in but do not get it.

Is it good to pursue Bachelor of Architecture from NIT Raipur?

BR
Bhavna Roy Posted On : March 19th, 2021
Electrical engineering from National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2020)

One of my friends pursued his B.Arch from NIT Raipur. According to his experience, a Bachelor of Architecture from NIT Raipur is not a good option. The faculty quality is average. There is too much workload on students. 

The table below gives a brief overview of the Department of Architecture of NIT Raipur.

Total Fees (B.Arch)

Rs. 6.74 Lakhs

Median Salary Offered

Rs. 3 LPA

Total Number of seats (B.Arch)

79

JEE Main cut-off

1580

Key Highlights:

  • There are several good colleges in Maharashtra and Gujarat for Architecture. But NIT Raipur has a lot of bad reviews from students who have studied B.Arch in the institute.
  • Most teachers in Architecture at NIT Raipur are not good in their teaching habits and capabilities. Teachers make students mindless about their actions, even some hard working ones.
  • It is obvious that Architecture studies involve a lot of hard-work in assignments, but teachers are not even sensible about the fact.
  •  The curriculum at NIT Raipur is such that it can frustrate a student who has good concepts to the core.
  • People may tell you a college does not matter in the overall development of students. But, it is true that in fields like architecture and management, you need to be smart enough to deal with a lot of people in your career. So, the institute's atmosphere, and the people surrounding a student, do matter.

NIT Raipur is not a decent place for a Bachelor of Architecture, considering all the above factors. If you have any other options, it will be wise to go for them.

Do we get hostels right after we join NIT Raipur, and can parents stay at the guest house while attending for admission?

AS
Amandeep Singh Posted On : March 19th, 2021
B.Tech Chemical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2017)

There are several factors considered by NIT Raipur before allotting permanent hostels to students. The points below give a brief overview of the conditions and processes of hostel allotment in the institute.

  • During the initial days, every student can get a temporary hostel allotment. But, the selection of students for permanent hostel allotment is based on their score in the 11th and 12th classes.
  • The admission process is generally short, which does not need much time. So, the institute will not provide accommodation to parents.
  • In most cases, the institute does not provide any kind of accommodation during the admission process. So, own arrangements are required.
  • At most, 40% of students get a permanent hostel. Though the figure is quite less, it is not a problem to stay as there are several private hostels/pgs available in Kota, which are located behind the campus. There are several kinds of accommodation- single, 2 or 3 sharing basis, etc.
  • One of the major concerns staying in hostels is the quality and type of food available. It is difficult to adjust, especially for people from Southern states. Though this is a problem, students get used to the local food available.

These are some of the general concerns for students coming to NIT Raipur. Hope this helped to clear your doubts.

Which is better, NIT Raipur or SGSITS?

KS
Khushi Sen Posted On : March 31st, 2021
B-tech Electrical Engineering, Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (2020)

NIT Raipur is the Institute of National Importance(INI). It provides bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in engineering, technology, architecture, and basic sciences.

Before 2011-12 there were only 39 NITs in the country but now there are 73 and almost all fall under the MHRD Accreditation.

Major things you need to know about NIT Raipur:

  • Education: You've to do it on your own. Yes, good faculty is there to help you in your studies but there will be no spoon-feeding like school.
  • Infrastructure: Quite old but okay as now they're undergoing renovation, so many new facilities are available now. The campus runs to an area of about 100 acres. There are 8 hostels with more than 3000 students and each hostel has its own mess.
  • Faculty: You will find many senior faculties arrogant and having old age mentality but some of them are very supportive and encouraging.
  • Places to hang out: There are a lot of recreational activities here, you'll get to know them once you enroll here. Raipur is a very decent city with wonderful people. It also has a much lower crime rate according to recent times.

As per my friends’ opinion, NIT Raipur would be a much better choice than SGSITS Indore.

I am currently pursuing 1st year B.tech (CSE) in NIT Raipur. Can I give JEE Mains next year and take admission in another NIT or IIIT?

AM
Aditya Mishra Posted On : September 9th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Raipur

Yes, you can surely attempt your JEE Mains/Advanced/BITS. Many students do the same. There are (and have been) at least 1 or 2 such students in every batch of NIT Raipur.

But I would advise you not to opt for just any other NIT. Choose an NIT which is at least 5-6 ranks above NIT Raipur. Otherwise, switching to another NIT will prove ineffective. The same goes for IIITs, choose only the old ones.

This is because NIT Raipur offers decent placements for CSE, at par with the NITs of the same stature. So wasting a year for NIT Jamshedpur or NIT Durgapur will be fruitless. If you go for JEE counseling, you’ll have to withdraw from your NIT Raipur seat first. To be on the safe side, go for the counseling only with a score high enough to get you CSE in a better ranking NIT. Otherwise, you might get NIT Raipur once again. This has happened with students in the past.

I hope this advice will help you make wise decisions regarding your college switch.

What is the conversion system from a CGPA to an NIT Raipur percentage?

AM
Aditya Mishra Posted On : September 12th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Raipur

The institute released an official statement stating that the academic performance of students will be evaluated through CPI/SPI based on a 10-point scale. The CPI will be multiplied by a factor of 10 to obtain a numerical percentage for calculation.

So, the conversion system from a CGPA to an NIT Raipur percentage is *10.

For instance, your CGPA is 7.2. Then your Percentage will be 7.2 *10+72%
