How good is NIT Goa?

NIT Goa is an Institute of National Importance. A lot of my friends studied at NIT Goa and here are some things about the college I got to know from them. Let us look at the various aspects of the institute to decide if it is really good for you or not.

Infrastructure

• It operates from the temporary campus at Goa Engineering College (GEC) at Farmagudi, Ponda in Goa. 
• Though the campus is small, it is really a lush green campus and has all the modern facilities. 
• All the necessary machines and equipment needed for running a fully functional lab of an engineering college are present. 
• The faculty are really good and cooperative.

Hostel and sports facilities

• The college houses the students in rented 2 BHK flats on the GEC campus. 
• The hostels are not cleaned properly and there are frequent water shortages. 
• The mess food is also quite average. Thus mess and hostel are the weakest links of NIT Goa. 
• For sports, the campus has courts and grounds nearby. 
• The college also has its own mini sports room which has many indoor sports equipment.

Campus life

• You are in Goa and thus beach parties, waterfall visits, and nature trails are very common. 
• You will also have many events going on throughout the year in Goa. 
• Apart from that, the campus hosts a tech-fest (Technival) and a cultural fest (Raag). 
• The temporary campus has its own day canteens which you can enjoy during study breaks.

Placements

Below given are some of the details of the campus placement drive at the college during the year 2020-21.

To conclude, the college is actually good. Yes, you will not get the full facilities of a permanent campus and the hostel facilities are sub-par. But for an educational institution, it is quite good.
