Have known some people who have pursued M.Tech in CSE from NIT Kurukshetra, NIT Bhopal, and IIIT Allahabad. I can say that you can opt for IIIT Allahabad for CSE. Do not choose NIT Kurukshetra.

  • At NIT Kurukshetra the examination cell is not good and placements are average.
  • IIIT Allahabad is better in terms of placements, faculty, exposure, etc.
  • At IIIT Allahabad, top companies like Infosys, Capgemini, Byju’s, Oracle, JP Morgan, TCS, IBM, Amazon, Jaro Education, etc. take part in their placement program.
  • They also have an active coding culture.

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma last year when she had to choose between NIT, Kurukshetra, and PEC, Chandigarh. However, she went on to chew NIT Kurukshetra over PEC and stated the reasons below for her choice

  • Accreditation: NIT Kurukshetra is an NBA-accredited institute and thus has an upper hand over the PEC Chandigarh. 
  • Syllabus: NIT Kurukshetra frequently updates its syllabus to keep it at par with the recent industrial trends and enables the students to study branch-specific subjects right from the first year.

  • Placements: The table below draws a brief comparison of the placement statistics of these institutes

Is it true that NIT Kurukshetra is going to be converted into an IIT in the next few years?

Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 1st, 2023

There have been many rumors circulating about NIT Kurukshetra becoming an IIT in the coming years. However, no such changes have been made so far or any official announcement has been made regarding the same. Some even claimed that the committees visited NIT Kurukshetra to determine if it was eligible to be converted to an IIT but there have been no concrete evidence to prove the same.

Given below are some reasons, why I believe NIT Kurukshetra should be turned into an IIT Kurukshetra

  1. Firstly, the state of Haryana has no IIT as of now. IIIT Sonepat, whose mentor is NIT Kurukshetra, is under development. So it’s better to convert NIT Kurukshetra into an IIT rather than making a whole new institute. That might take a lot of time and even funds.
  2. NIT Kurukshetra which was established in 1963 and has a rich legacy that makes it the right choice to become an IIT. 
  3. The institute has a huge campus and excellent placement record, especially for CS and IT branches. If it becomes an IIT, the placement scenario will only become better both for tech and non-tech branches.
  4. The institute conducts frequent revisions of the entire syllabus and ensures that it is at par with the industry's demands. However, the faculty and the research scope need to be improved before converting it into an IIT.
  5. Its location is perfect for an IIT as it is in the heart of Sid Haryana.

I hope it becomes an IIT soon!

What are the drawbacks of NIT Kurukshetra?

VR
Vineet Ray Posted On : September 1st, 2023
Studied IT at NIT Kurukshetra

There are a few drawbacks of NIT Kurukshetra that students and faculty have reported. These include:

  • Girls have restrictions on their entry and exit time.
  • The infrastructure needs to be improved and the faculty needs to be more proficient in languages.
  • The lab equipment is obsolete and not enough attention is given to lab sessions.
  • The institute offers limited opportunities in terms of research and projects.
  • The institute has an outdated syllabus that is delivered through old-school pedagogy.
  • The examination date sheet and the results are not released on time.
  • Students who are unable to clear any subject in the current year, have to reappear for it in the next year.
  • The location of the institute plays a huge role in diminishing its reputation. Kurukshetra is not a city but a town with poor transport facilities, infrastructure, and no places to explore
  • The marking patterns adopted by the professors are poorly designed. 
  • The classroom sessions are monotonous and leave students disinterested in the particular course. The classrooms have poor facilities, such as no ventilation, projectors, and ACs. 
  • The cultural fest is given more importance and receives more funds than the technical ones.

However, NIT Kurukshetra has more pros than cons so if you don’t have any other option, you can go for this institute and work hard to achieve your goals.
