NIT Durgapur: 20 Answered Questions

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.

Is Jadavpur University better than NIT Durgapur? If yes, which stream would be preferred?

Raghav SainiB.Tech from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2022)

Both the colleges have their pros and cons. Your choice of college should be based on branch. I did my Mechanical from NIT Durgapur and my friend did his Mechanical from Jadavpur University. I am eligible to answer this question.

First of all, JU is much higher in ranking than NIT Durgapur. Also, the fees at JU are way more affordable. As JU is located in Kolkata, IT companies visit the campus more often. As far as core courses are concerned, the faculty for ME especially, is good at both the colleges. But core placements are much better at NIT Durgapur because PSUs visit the campus. On the other hand, JU students have to sit for GATE. 

If you wish to study CS, IT or ECE, choose Jadavpur University without second thought. As far as core jobs are concerned, choose NIT Durgapur.

How is mechanical engineering at NIT Durgapur?

Sayantani Barman
Suborno ChaterjeeB.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2017)

As a Mechanical Engineering student at NIT Durgapur, I am listing down some important points about my branch-

  1. Mechanical has a busier schedule than the other branches.
  2. Some professors of Mechanical are good while some are rude.
  3. Mechanical students get more assignments. This branch will demand a lot of hard work from you.
  4. You can easily score well in Mechanical. However, you’ll have to manage your time well if you are planning to study for competitive exams side by side.
  5. You’ll face 25-hour lectures in a week, and extra classes will also be arranged. 
  6. B.Tech Mechanical recorded 84.05% placements during 2023. The students were placed at an average CTC of 9.72 LPA.

How is the campus life at NIT Durgapur?

Sapna Malik updated
Raghav SainiB.Tech from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2022)

Like everyone else, I too was a little skeptical about NIT Durgapur during admissions. But as time passed by, I enjoyed my campus life and made numerous friends..

The campus will allow you to meet people from different backgrounds. You’ll even get in touch with some foreign students. Within a few weeks, you’ll make new friends. 

There are many clubs at NIT Durgapur and you can join more than one. Some of these are- Music Club, Dance Club, Literary Circle, CCA, MNTC, Spic Macay, etc. There is no favoritism during club selections. You’ll get to know of hangout spots like NIT Duck Pond or Techno.

As far as academics is concerned, there are some exceptional teachers in every branch who will light up your passion for learning.For example, SG sir in the EE department. Academics has become stricter since course and semester structure were revised a few years back.

During your final year, placements will be the most important. Do not worry, the placement record of NIT Durgapur is good. You’ll find that most students study only a week before exams. But make sure you know your subjects well. Otherwise you’ll face problems during the placement season.

NIT Durgapur will give you freedom. But you’ll soon realize the responsibilities that accompany it. Campus life, especially hostel life, is great.

How is ECE branch at the NIT Durgapur?

Sapna Malik updated
Namrata Das

As a final-year ECE student at NIT Durgapur, I will share my observations about this department with you.

NIT Durgapur offers no research facilities as such. So if you enter the ECE department expecting research-based innovative studies, you’ll be disappointed. You’ll score a good CGPA. You will get the opportunity to intern at CERN, through a good CGPA. Other than that, the curriculum doesn’t really offer much growth. Most people aren’t that driven or hardworking over here. 

Since 2017, however, changes in curriculum and faculty have opened doors for improvement. The infrastructure and lab facilities of this college need a lot of improvement. Phd. scholars should be selected more carefully for teaching the students. 

I recommend you try Jadavpur ECE. You can also search for some other option that is better than NIT Durgapur ECE.
