How is the campus of NIT Durgapur?

SC
Suborno Chaterjee Posted On : September 7th, 2023
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2017)

NIT Durgapur is older than 60 years and most of its infrastructure is in ruins. The condition of hostels and laboratories is pathetic but the overall situation is in control and no major obstacle is experienced in academics. NIT Durgapur has a relatively smaller campus than other colleges. So it's better organized too. Currently, new hostels are being constructed and academic buildings are being renovated. The campus still is lacking in terms of high-tech amenities. For example most colleges have an e-library, and NIT Durgapur has an old and small library. There are two playgrounds that are hardly functional.

NIT Durgapur has a visually pleasing campus surrounded by lush greenery. The campus has its pros and cons. In the end, the size of the campus does not determine your career but your passion does!

Which one should I choose NIT Durgapur core branches or MIT Manipal ECE?

The best way to choose the right college for you is to give preference to the branch and not just the tag. As a NIT pass out my friend claims that the opportunities NIT provides, and the freedom it gives you to grow is unmatched. The institute does give you a high level of freedom that might break or make your career. It’s you who decides the choices you make. 

The best part about NIT Durgapur is its active club culture, which ensures a good bond between like-minded people. Also, being a government college, NIT charges very low fees in comparison to MIT, a private college.

Placements in general are great here both for core and non-core branches. Here is the branch-wise report that will help you decide better

Which option should I choose, Jadavpur University CSE or NIT Durgapur CSE?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 7th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Here are some key points about both colleges which will help you in your decision-making-

  • Campus Life- The campus life at NIT Durgapur is much better. You’ll get ample freedom to play sports, to party, etc. You can do everything on campus, at all hours. The senior-junior and peer-to-peer bonding is great over here. There is relatively more cultural diversity in the NIT Durgapur campus.
  • Academics- The CSE department of NIT Durgapur isn’t good. If you are serious about academics and quality education, NIT Durgapur CSE isn’t a good choice. The quality of research is very poor, apart from the DST-FIST project. Have a look at the faculty profile of both institutions to get a clearer picture.
  • Placements - On ground level, CSE placements are better at JU. For a smaller number of students, it receives the same number of companies during campus placements. Also, bigshots offering high packages visit the JU campus exclusively.
  • Startups - NIT Durgapur doesn’t provide many opportunities for startups/entrepreneurship.
  • Higher studies - Both are at par if you wish to pursue higher studies in India. However, for foreign colleges/universities, an NIT tag will be more advantageous.
  • ROI- The ROI for JU is much higher. This is because its tuition fees are much more affordable.

According to me, a CSE from Jadavpur University is a better option.

Which is better: CSE in NIT, Durgapur or metallurgy in NIT, Warangal?

Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 8th, 2023

I would like you to consider certain important things before making your decision-

  • College- Without a doubt, NIT Warangal is ahead of NIT Durgapur in terms of faculty, infrastructure and hostel facilities.
  • Subject - You need to choose your subject based on your interests. Without that you’ll either hate your profession or choose a completely different career path altogether. If you are into math, coding, logic and problem-solving, choose CSE. On the other hand, if you want to study materials, metals, extraction, etc, choose Metallurgy. 
  • Profession - CSE will give you better opportunities in the IT sector. You might get a fat check, work for a good company, and live in metropolitans. As you know, IT jobs are basically office jobs.On the other hand, core Metallurgy jobs deal with steel plants, mines and such. You’ll end up working in a remote area if you choose a core job.The placements for CSE are overall much better than Metallurgy, across all engineering colleges. But if you have a passion for metallurgy, you might end up in a good brand or get selected for a government position. 
  • Location- Both the places are culturally very different. Research a bit, and figure out which place’s food habits, climate, and culture suits you better.

According to me your college will last for 4 years. However, your branch will become an intrinsic part of your personality and profession. Unless you have an interest in Metallurgy or a good chance at sliding to another branch, choose CSE at NIT Durgapur.

Which is better: CSE in NIT, Durgapur or metallurgy in NIT, Warangal?

CR
Chitra Roy Posted On : September 6th, 2023
M.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Warangal

NIT Warangal is better in terms of infrastructure, faculty, campus, faculty, and placement support. But the recruiters prefer students from the software field; the metallurgical students only get an average salary package, which is pitiful.

The decision can be made by giving primary importance to your interests and you should keep in mind that the selection of a better branch decides your future and not the college

Which one of these two is better for M.Sc in physics, IIEST Shibpur or NIT Durgapur? Are there any placements for M.Sc students at IIEST?

AS
Akriti Sinha Posted On : August 16th, 2022
B.Tech in Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology Durgapur

NIT Durgapur will be better for an M.Sc Physics. The quality of academics and exposure offered is better than any of the non-tech institutes in the region. Most students prepare for competitive examinations like NET, GATE, JEST, BARC, ISRO, etc. NITD also has collaborations with many national institutes and research labs. 

Yes, IIEST offers placements to MSc students. But the salary packages offered aren’t very high.
