How was your first day at NIT Srinagar?

NA
Noorie Aziz Posted On : September 20th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Srinagar (J&K) (Graduated 2020)

My brother shared his first-day experience at NIT Srinagar. He reached the campus at around 5 in the evening and was escorted to the DH-1 where the admission process was going on. He saw many other students in the hall and felt a sense of relief. He was informed that he wasnt late for the admission as the date had extended and he felt relief. He made a call home and updated them about the situation.

He then approached a security guard who told him to go to the Indus Hostel. He carried his heavy luggage all alone all the way to the 3rd floor. Most of the rooms were occupied by his batchmates. He then took a bath and got ready to explore. He interacted with a few seniors who came as friendly. It was hard to find a vacant room and when he did, he realized the fan wasnt working. Nevertheless, he lay down and fell fast asleep as he was extremely tired after the journey. Luckily, he made a few friends on the same day who asked him to share the room with them. 

Overall, the first-day experience was a mix of all emotions, nervousness, and happiness and is a fresh memory to date.

Is NIT Srinagar a safe place to stay and study?

NS
Nikhil Singh Sodi Posted On : September 20th, 2023
Computer Science Engineer from National Institute of Technology, Srinagar (2018)

It's just a preconceived notion that Srinagar is an unsafe place to study in. The media has portrayed the wrong image and harmed the reputation of the institute. There are regular classes from 9-5. Students can be seen strolling around the campus and visiting Dal Lake, Lal Chowk. The issues the public is concerned about usually happen around the border areas. Such minor issues can be found in every state so I believe it's the media that has instilled in the mind of the public that NIT Srinagar is not a safe place. The reality is you will enjoy your time here and feel absolutely safe!
