Why is NIT Durgapur so underrated?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 7th, 2023

It is unfortunate that NIT Durgapur is so underrated. It is a good college but it hasn’t received the recognition it deserves. 

People believe that the ‘top’ NITs and IITs offer something very different. However, when you delve deeper, you’ll find that NIT Durgapur offers all the facilities and opportunities that these premiere institutes have to offer. The administration of this college is slow. But things are improving at a rapid rate. 

NIT Durgapur offers a qualified faculty and good placement/internship opportunities. The culture of West Bengal ensures a nurturing environment for research.

This is the only NIT that has signed an MOU with CERN Geneva. Because of this, 3rd-year B.Tech grads get the opportunity to visit CERN Geneva, Switzerland for a summer internship.

Unfortunately, people do not research properly. They feel only IITs and ‘top’ NITs (or BITS) can offer all the facilities to their students. NIT Durgapur, however, proves that this mentality is totally wrong.

What are the hostel facilities in Jadavpur University hostel like as compared to NIT Durgapur hostel?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 7th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I am an alumni of NIT Durgapur. As I have never been to JU hostels, I can tell you about the condition of hostels in my college.

The fresher rooms are much better than those allotted to senior boys. Hall 9 consists of four-seater rooms which were allotted to me, back when I was a fresher. These rooms are small. However, they are still bigger than the four-seater rooms we were allotted during the second and third years. 

Presently, freshers are allotted Hall-11 which is newly built and has all the facilities. It is well-built. During the fourth year, you will be allotted single-seater rooms. These single-seater rooms are below expectations. They are quite old. 

Here are some facilities provided in hostels-

  1. LAN/Wifi Connectivity
  2. Clean drinking water via water coolers
  3. Common washrooms for each wing
  4. Mess for each hall
  5. Sports facilities

The hostel facilities at NIT Durgapur aren’t really good, especially for a college of national importance.

Which is best: NIT Durapur, NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Raipur, IIIT Jabalpur and IIIT Kancheepuram? I'm interested in electrical, electronics and computer science.

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 4th, 2023

All the aforementioned institutes namely NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Raipur, IIIT Jabalpur, and IIIT Kancheepuram are good in their own way. They have their own strengths and weaknesses. The choice between these will thereby depend on personal preferences like distance from your home, the placements-branch-wise, and internship opportunities. 

 Now choosing the branch can be a bit tricky as BTech students have no idea of what exactly they are going to study. Choosing the branch is a blind bet and often many regret their choice later. That being said, if you are confused between electrical, electronics, and computer science then consider the following points 

  • Go for CSE if your goal is to secure a high package in software and don’t want to spend much time studying.
  • Go for EEE if you want to work less and secure a stable average job.
  • Go for ECE if are interested in electronics and want to pursue a career in the same.

Out of these ECE is the most challenging with the least opportunities while CSE is the easiest with a plethora of opportunities.

How can I get an education loan (I have got admission in NIT Durgapur)?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 7th, 2023

You can avail these reliefs from the college/ banks to pursue your education at NIT Durgapur-

The tuition fee of NIT Durgapur is INR 62,500 per semester for B.Tech students. But if your family income is less than 1 Lakh or you belong to SC/ST category, your tuition fee will be 100% waived. If your family income is between 1 Lakh- 5 Lakh per annum, your tuition fee will be 2/3rd waived. 

To get a waiver on your fee, you have to submit an income certificate from competent authorities.

You can take an educational loan from a bank. When you visit the campus during admissions, you will spot people with pamphlets of their banks. Approach them and they will guide you through the entire process. I know some people who teach tuition to local students. This is a great way of earning some money on the side.

I hope this answer helped you and provided some useful guidance.

Which one should I choose - ECE in NIT, Durgapur or IIIT, Allahabad?

Sapna Malik updated Posted On : October 16th, 2023

I completed my B.Tech ECE from NIT Durgapur a few years back. Thus, I can tell you about the ECE department of my college- 

The placements for ECE are quite poor. Barely any core companies visit the campus for recruitments. As a result, ECE students try for IT companies during the placement season. The curriculum is also not up to the mark. It needs to be updated and aligned with present day needs of the semiconductor industry. Scoring good CGPAs is easy but one has to stay updated on the industry standards on our own.

IIIT Allahabad has a research oriented environment, and its attendance policy is quite lenient. It offers good placements in the IT department. Try to approach some seniors from IIITA to find out the condition of its ECE branch.

If the B.Tech ECE at IIIT Allahabad is as good as its B.Tech IT, consider joining this college over NIT Durgapur.

Which is better Jadavpur University or NIT Durgapur or IIEST?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 6th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

All three colleges namely JU, NIT Durgapur, and IIEST are the premier institutions of the country. Each one of them had their own strengths and weaknesses. Let’s go through each of them individually to understand better.

Jadavpur University: 

  • JU is not a technical institution, so it offers an environment where students of diverse academic streams study under a roof that helps them grow as a person.

IIEST Shibpur

  • IIEST Shibpur, main advantage is its closeness to the metro city. Moreover, it is an Institute of National Importance so has a high brand value.

NIT Durgapur 

  • This is the best place for a vibrant college life and you will learn and experience something new every day. The academic rigor is motivating and the competition is intense. The campus is small but has everything one needs. The infrastructure is being improved slowly and new changes are being made. The NIT tag also comes to your rescue whenever you face hardship in your career. 

Overall, I feel JU has a certain edge over the other two colleges in terms of crowd diversity. However, if you want the NIT tag then NIT Durgapur is also a good option.
