People don’t talk much about NIT Kurukshetra as it’s not among the top NITs. But this certainly does not mean the institute is invaluable and not at par with other engineering colleges. The fact is, people from outside can only see the superficial layer and judge the college based on its infrastructure or placements but once you become a part of the institute you realize its uniqueness and feel attached to your college.
For instance, BITS Pilani seems to be in a desolate area with no places to explore around. However, the reason it’s still one of the best engineering colleges is the people that constitute the college. So what people think about NIT Kurukshetra does not really matter. What matters is the quality of students which directly affects the reputation of the institute.
NIT Kurukshetra is in a similar situation because its remote location puts it at a slight disadvantage. It has one mall and only a few places to explore. However, NIT Kurukshetra in itself is slowly losing its charm because of deteriorating infrastructure and poor academic situation. Although the placement figures say otherwise, the students are well aware of the reality of the reality. Moroebercm, the general public knows about IITs but rarely about NITs.
