Should I attend NIT, Durgapur; IIITM, Gwalior; IIIT, Amethi; or drop for IIT next year?

Supriya Sarkar
Abhineet GargB.Tech + M.Tech (IT) from Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior

You can take a drop year if you are confident that you will get IIT. But if you want to have options, it will be better to join IIIT Gwalior and prepare for JEE Advanced. The curriculum isn’t too demanding, you will have ample time for preparation. Also, this way you will have a backup. 

IIIT Gwalior has an excellent coding culture. If you are interested in coding and have skills, you can get good placement offers.

How is the hostel at NIT Durgapur?

Raktim Tarafdar

During my B.Tech from NIT Durgapur, I stayed at Halls-9,3 and 5. I can tell you about the condition of these halls.

The infrastructure of these hostel buildings is in a poor and dilapidated state. They are located in one corner of the campus. The rooms are old, and these halls aren’t well maintained. The mess food isn’t good.

Despite all of this, you’ll find solace in your hostel rooms. You’ll form close bonds with your hostelmates. Once you move out of NIT Durgapur, you’ll miss these times. Over here, you’ll enjoy plenty of freedom with practically no responsibilities. 

For the most part, the condition of hostels isn’t good. Still, you’ll eventually adapt to this place. You’ll form close friendships and lifelong memories over here.

Why do you regret joining NIT Durgapur?

Sabeer Chalana
Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

I don’t think many people regret joining NIT Durgapur. In fact, one of my friends who was earlier doubtful about the institute said that choosing NIT Durgapur was one of the best decisions of his life. 

The institute does have some cons such as average mess food and poor quality of hostels, however, the condition is similar in almost all engineering colleges. Over the past few years, it has been working hard to improve its infrastructure and many new and modern hostels are coming up. There are decent options for eating near the campus. Additionally, a new assembly hall is also under construction. 

The faculty pool like any other engineering college comprises both highly and low qualified professors. You can develop a good rapport with them and trust me they will guide you in making big choices. 

The academic environment is improving for the better and so are the placements. NIT Durgapur also has a tie-up with CERN, Geneva and with the Department of Atomic Energy for the world's first Helium gas exploration plant coming up at Bakreswar. Subir Chowdhury, the present CEO and MD of JCB India, is also an alumni of this college 

Considering all the above facts, I don’t think you can regret joining the institute.

How hard is manipal institute of technology entrance exam for an average student?

Alka GuptaStudied at Manipal Institute Of Technology

I am a pretty average student who scored 80% in 11th and 93% in 12th. I was preparing for my JEE Advanced and took the entrance exam for Manipal as a form of practice.

I scored 155 in the entrance exam which was a good enough score to get me CSE at this institution.

The exam contains easy questions. Everything boils down to time management. There are 200 questions and the total time allotted is 150 minutes. With simple Math, you can figure out that each question gets 45 seconds. Now, all the questions in English can be solved instantly. Also, some questions on Chemistry will take no more than 10 seconds. Considering this, you’ll get an average time of 60 seconds to solve Math and Physics questions. This is more than sufficient time if your concepts are clear. 

In case you do not know an answer, mark the question for later. 140 is a good score to get you into CSE at Manipal Institute of Technology. So the entrance exam isn’t tough to crack, it just requires a good speed.
