Which is better, IT in NIT Puducherry or CSE in NIT Durgapur?

Shivani Das Posted On : May 1st, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2019)

When it comes to pursuing BTech/BE, the brand of the college you choose can make a significant difference in your career prospects. Based on my experience, I would recommend considering NIT Durgapur over NIT Puducherry. Here are some reasons why:

  • Established Reputation: NIT Durgapur has been around for several decades and has established itself as one of the top engineering colleges in the country. On the other hand, NIT Puducherry is a relatively new addition to the National Institute of Technology family.
  • Strong Alumni Network: Being an older institution, NIT Durgapur has a large and active alumni network. This can be a valuable resource for you in terms of networking, mentorship, and job opportunities.
  • Better Placements: NIT Durgapur has a better track record when it comes to placements, with many top companies visiting the campus every year for recruitment. This is not to say that NIT Puducherry has poor placements, but NIT Durgapur is a safer bet in terms of securing a good job after graduation.
  • Research Opportunities: NIT Durgapur has a strong focus on research and innovation, with several research projects and collaborations with industry partners. This can provide you with opportunities to work on cutting-edge projects and gain valuable experience.
  • Infrastructure: NIT Durgapur boasts of a modern and well-equipped campus with state-of-the-art facilities like a central library, auditoriums, laboratories, and sports facilities. NIT Puducherry, being a newer institution, may not have the same level of infrastructure and facilities.

Overall, while both NIT Durgapur and NIT Puducherry are good colleges, choosing the former could provide you with better career prospects and opportunities.

I have a few friends from NIT Pondicherry and according to them, there is a gym at NIT Puducherry. Even though it's not a very advanced one, you can still manage to use it just to keep yourself fit. The gym is quite basic with few pieces of equipment and not very spacious. Students mainly use this place for stretching or yoga activities.

Chemical Engineering at NIT Calicut, 2021

My brother used to be a student of NIT Puducherry. According to him, the internet speed easily reaches the top of 40 Mbps to 50 Mbps, which is by far the best service provided to students. Other than that, the LAN connections are to be mounted very soon at the institute body so as to help enhance the connectivity speed over time.

The wifi speed once recorded reached almost around 1.1 Gbps in the laboratory, which is the maximum my brother and his friends witnessed.

PSG is a great college if you are looking for good placements. Since it has been many years since the establishment of PSG, it has had a great rapport. Every year top companies conduct campus interviews in PSG and many students land up in their dream job with a high package – either here or abroad.

They have great faculties and teaching methodologies, however, the placement facility is still in the line of improvement and they are inviting more MNCs for conducting college campus recruitment drives. Currently, the median CTC offered at the institute is 6 LPA. 

NIT, Puducherry is a quiet place with no disturbance and a great environment to focus on your studies and self-growth. The faculties are great mentors who afford to motivate you internally. If you are an academic scholar and you bagged a chance to study at NIT Puducherry, don’t miss it.

What is it like to attend NIT Puducherry?

Neha Basu, Posted On : October 25th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Puducherry (2018)

One of my friends studied at NIT Puducherry. According to him, when he graduated from NIT Puducherry, the college was not very much developed. 

During his time there was poor teaching staff with minimum facilities. He understood that depending on the college and its faculty will get him nowhere. So he started working hard himself.

But now the institute has come a long way from there. It has now a fully functional permanent campus. Many reputed companies visit during placement drives. Though the salary packages offered may not satisfy an engineering graduate, it has still offered the best it can.

Categories NIT Puducherry
Course Fee 5.49 lakh
Placement Percentage 65%
Highest CTC 15 LPA
Average CTC 4 LPA
Recruiting Companies L&T, EY, JP Morgan, TCS, etc.

If you are a hard-working individual, studying at NIT Puducherry also could work wonders for you. As the college is also gradually developing, there are chances of betterment.
