Admission to the college is based on the JEE Mains examination, conducted by the National Testing Agency twice a year. Candidates must score at least 75% in high school to be eligible. The counseling process is managed by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA). A rank below 20,000 in JEE Mains generally secures admission to institutions like NIT Hamirpur. The college is centrally managed, with highly qualified faculty, many holding Ph.D.s from prestigious institutions.
The student-faculty ratio ranges from 1:6 to 1:10, creating a supportive learning environment. The curriculum includes end-semester (50 marks), mid-semester (30 marks), and internal assessments (20 marks). The failure rate is 3-10%, and the exam system features two main exams per semester. The tuition fee per semester is ?87,500 for general students, with hostel fees at ?36,000. Overall fees, including hostel, range from ?25,000 to ?1,00,000 per semester. Scholarships and financial aid are available based on income and category.
Economically backward classes receive a 40% fee waiver, while SC/ST students also benefit from waivers. Education loans are offered through the Ministry of Human Resources and Development, making the fee structure feasible for middle-class families. NIT Hamirpur has a strong placement program, particularly in IT and core industries. The highest salary package for Computer Science students was around ?1.75 crore, with an average of ?15-16 lakh. Overall average packages range from ?8-10 lakh per annum, with 80-90% of students securing placements.
CSE sees 100% placement, and Electrical Engineering over 90%. Reputed companies like Adobe, Amazon, and Oracle frequently recruit from the campus. Students are eligible for internships from their 3rd year, with top firms like Microsoft offering high stipends.
