Why are you willing to join NIT Jalandhar, which is your home state?
I hail from Telangana(Hyderabad) and I initially joined NIT Jalandhar because of its high ranking. But right after my admission the ranking stooped below 100.
I started regretting my decision to join NIT Jalandhar. But it was during the time of placements that I was finally content with my decision.
NIT Jalandhar’s training and placement cell is exceptionally good. Even though NIT Jalandhar’s rank is above 100 it is in the top 10 in NITs placement ranking. Also the average placements see a rise every year.
So rather than focusing on the ranking of the college, focus on your own motivation.
How are NIT-Jalandhar M.Tech placements? Specially for manufacturing technology.
M.Tech from NIT Jalandhar is not particularly useful for placement in manufacturing technology.
The reality is that M.Tech from NIT Jalandhar is like any other college, and NIT Jalandhar only focuses on placement for their Undergraduate students, though they may arrange a placement drive for M.Tech students if necessary. So, if a student is exceptionally bright and possesses exceptional practical knowledge, he will be chosen for campus placement.
Another issue is that there aren't enough companies in the region with manufacturing technology backgrounds.

-
Reserved qouta in various exams like SSC-CGL
-
Excellent exposure
-
No compulsory attendance at athletic fest

Disciplined life that leads to self improvement

A touch of life of Armed Forces
Apart from NCC, NSS is also a good option. But don’t go for NSO at all. There are hardly any benefits to avail of.

How good/bad is NIT Jalandhar?
No college is good or bad. It’s your own attitude that determines whether it’s good or not. Colleges affect you 30%. The rest 70% is influenced by your own motivation and hard work.
No matter how bad your college is, if you have invested sincere efforts you will reap good results. And if you are in the highest ranked college but you lack the will to succeed then the college won’t help you succeed. It’s you who decides your future. Don’t let a mere college decide it.
Same is the case with NIT Jalandhar. Although there are some misconceptions about its worth, the fact is that if you really work hard here, you will land a decent job.
