How is the mechanical branch at NIT Kurukshetra?

NIT Kurukshetra’s Mechanical is considered to be amongst the best branches here, in terms of placements, exposure, and academics. So, if you are interested in exploring this branch, NIT Kurukshetra is the best place for you. Here are some reasons supporting this stance

Faculty: The faculty are highly qualified and experienced and their lectures are a reflection of the same. The faculty of this branch hold high ranks even outside the Mechanical department like the chief warden boys hostel and dean students welfare. Few are less experienced, arrogant, and dominating. Some are young, less experienced yet passionate teachers who adapt to the institutes' environment pretty quickly.

Placements: The key to getting good packages is a good CGPA, enough knowledge of the subject, no backlogs, and internship or project experiences. Here are the placement statistics for the UG course offered by the mechanical branch.

Infrastructure: The infrastructural facilities to be honest are pathetic and you should not expect any indoor courts or high-speed internet. The departments are small and congested because they were built several years ago. The new lecture complex is however decked with modern equipment. There is also a small market on campus with around six or seven shops selling diverse items like groceries, medical store, snacks, fruit juice, stationary, and barber. The institute has no transportation facility like other engineering colleges and the amenities are overall limited. However, the academics are not affected by this at all.

Campus Life: NIT Kurukshetra has a number of clubs and societies both technical and cultural. Become a part of any of those clubs and experience some practical life outside of books. Try to become a part of the mess committee or student adviser, student internship coordinator placement advisory committee, etc. There are many eateries and other fun places in the vicinity of campus or you can go out with friends to various tourist places within Kurukshetra 

Crowd: The crowd is diverse comprising students from all backgrounds, nationalities, societal classes, languages, mindsets, and walks of life.

Curriculum: The NIT Kurukshetra Mechanical Engineering curriculum is outdated and obsolete. However, a new updated curriculum is expected to be followed soon.

Hope the above points helped you understand things better!
