The new campus of NIT-P is set beautifully on a plot of 280 acres. One of the beautiful things about the campus is that it is set on a seashore which makes the nearby atmosphere very calm and soothing. The new building has a separate science block which is huge and is connected to the nearby hostel and the canteen too. 

The new building has labs and workshop rooms which are equipped with the latest tech and pieces of equipment. The new building also has no water problem as compared to the old one. For electricity and power, there have been no issues so far. There is a 24 hr drinking water facility available. Sometimes there are some long power cuts which are informed beforehand as the building is under construction.

When it comes to NITs, everyone knows that they are better than any private colleges in the aspects like fees, faculties, campus. The tag of NIT can come in handy for you any day. 

NIT Puducherry (NITPY) has the best and most supportive faculty there is. Be it any department and especially CSE. There is nothing better than good professors from whom you can seek all the knowledge you want. The fee structure is quite affordable and less when compared to the private colleges but a bit more than government colleges. 

The CSE department also has quite promising placements. The students get placed in huge companies in places like Bangalore, Noida, and Chennai. Not that we are looking for it but NIT Puducheert has a lab with a 1000 Mbps internet connection that is available for you to use. If it convinces you, then you can surely go for it. 

If your requirement is Chemical Engineering or Biotechnology then it is not the best choice for you. 

Well, NIT Puducherry is not very old but till now they do not have a specific ground for playing. But considering the sports facilities, you can find huge areas around it that can be utilized as a sports ground. 

• For football, you can simply use the ground available. 
• The hockey ground is situated in the southeast direction but it is not very spacious. 
• Coming to volleyball, the NIT authorities have placed a net in the middle of the ground. You can find this facility at the boys' hostel currently. 
• For the rest of the outdoor games like basketball or baseball, you need to travel or explore nearby because the court at college is not very spacious. However, the campus has 2 indoor badminton courts and 2 table tennis courts. 
• NITP also conducts sports day. In which intra-NIT competitions are held among four teams of the college. 

There are no professional coaches available currently and if you need personal coaching or one-to-one sports training on any sports, you need to take a look outside the college campus.

I have a few friends from NIT Puducherry and according to them, students in NIT-P are facing difficulties due to the negligence of the administration. 

The basic facilities are not provided. The administration is solely focused on increasing the number of courses in the institute. The institute lacks proper classrooms, hostel rooms and accommodation, water facilities, and a proper power supply. Even the basic amenities of the students are not being fulfilled.

There is also a transportation problem from the institute side. They have very few numbers of vehicles when compared to the number of students. Students on average waste about 5 hours per day due to the transportation problem. 

But the situation is getting better slowly, now that it has moved to its own campus. Many of the important structures like the science block and hostels are built already.
