My cousin is a student at NIT Delhi currently and claims it to be the best NIT in North India. It provides an excellent platform for research-oriented study and top-notch academics.

The first-year students of all branches are taught the same subjects. From the 3rd year, students have labs for every theory subject. There are approximately 60–70 hour classes of core subjects and 30 hours lab in the same subject. Students are also required to make projects for every lab for which they are even graded. There are around 7-8 subjects in every semester comprising 5 core subjects and remaining computer science, humanities, and applied science subjects. The curriculum is therefore very rigorous and you will have to work extra hard for this branch. 

The branch records great placements every year and students are also offered internships from good companies. An added advantage of studying at NIT Delhi is the close proximity to coaching centers in Delhi.

However, NIT Delhi lacks in terms of cultural activities so if you want to experience a dynamic and fun-filled campus life, you might want to reconsider your decision.

Which would be better, metallurgy or biotechnology in NIT Durgapur or metallurgy or mining in IIEST Shibpur?

CJ
Chirag Jain Posted On : September 17th, 2020
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2021)

NIT Durgapur and IIEST Shibpur both are excellent universities for pursuing Bachelor's and Master's in Engineering. Both institutes are located in different parts of West Bengal in famous areas. NIT Durgapur has been ranked and 46th in Engineering Category by the NIRF Rankings in India. It does carry a reputation value to the degree by being a premier institute of Engineering. IIEST is a lesser-known institute but well advanced in their research faculty and content.

In a nutshell:

Colleges

NIT Durgapur

JEE Main

1,49,100

IIEST Shibpur

JEE Main

Metallurgy: 68.6%

Mining: 80.1%

1,37,000

Courses:

  • Metallurgy or Biotechnology at NIT can only be selected after the first year depending on the marks scored by the candidate. Since it is a premier institute, it will be relatively difficult to get the subject of your choice.
  • At IIEST, metallurgy is offered in B.Tech however, mining engineering is only offered in the dual program of B.Tech + M.Tech. Thus students who wish to pursue mining engineering at IIEST Shibpur will have to go for the dual degree program.

Admission:

Admission at NIT would be much more competitive than IIEST. It requires a higher JEE mains rank. The choice of the subject involves even more competitiveness as it is done at the end of the first year based on CGPA. Most students who get selected at NIT do not wish to go for metallurgy, however, if you are interested, then it is one of the best institutes. IIEST is relatively easy when it comes to admissions and choice of subjects.

Placements:

  • At IIEST metallurgy and mining are considered as research-based subjects and thus do not have high paid placements at the start. However, the mining course does offer better placements and opportunities to study at other premium and specific institutes in India which can land a good job in the future.
  • NIT Durgapur, on the other hand, can provide better placements due to its reputation standard.

The B.Tech. program at IIEST may not hold much value, but it is supplemented by excellent research professors who encourage students to take part in national missions and research projects. The competitiveness at NIT won’t provide that opportunity to every student.

Which is better: NIT Durgapur Mechanical/Electrical or NIT Calicut Production Engineering in B.Tech?

SO
Sanya Oberoi Posted On : August 20th, 2021
MBA International Business, Supply Chain Management & Marketing, Symbiosis International University (2019)

Mechanical/Electrical Engineering is superior to Production Engineering because Mechanical engineers can apply for jobs in the field of Production, whereas Production engineers cannot apply for core Mechanical jobs.

So, instead of selecting Production, I will recommend Mechanical /Electrical at NIT Durgapur in this case. 

Here is a brief outline of NIT Durgapur. 

Average CTC  9 LPA 
Highest CTC  33 LPA 
Major recruiters  TCS, IEM, Vedanta, TATA IQ, etc. 
Course fee  5.56 lakhs

Choose between Mechanical and Electrical based on your interests.

SG
Sakshi Gupta Posted On : April 23rd, 2021
B.tech C.S.E from National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur (2020)

Well, both the colleges are in different states and both have their own set of reports, some good some bad. Though from an infrastructure point of view, NIT Jamshedpur is small and cozy whereas NIT Durgapur is quite beautiful and flourished in about 187 acres of land.

  • The campus life at NIT Durgapur is really awesome. Apart from academics and infrastructure, it’s an NIT so you can understand it's pretty good.
  • But if you really want to experience it, you should definitely join NIT Durgapur and enjoy the vast playgrounds, clean campus, and friendly environment.
  • Though you can get some negative aspects but there is nothing wrong related to campus life.

Similarly, it goes for NIT Jamshedpur.

  • Even though the infrastructure of NIT Jamshedpur is not at par but definitely the campus life is awesome here too. The students make the campus lively.
  • You will get to see a vast and clean area with basketball, cricket and football ground.
  • Though the facility of Wi-Fi is not provided but you will have sufficient speed and workstations to fulfill your needs.
  • The mess food provided is of good quality.
  • There are many places to hang out and inside the institute only. The cleanliness is very good; in fact, Jamshedpur is one of the cleanest cities of East India.
  • The seniors are awesome and do cooperate and guide you if you face any issues.

Both the campus have good campus life and environment. But better contact someone who studies there and judge the authenticity and then choose between the two and definitely consider placement, faculty, and research before opting for either of them. The campus life at NIT Jamshedpur is quite good and you are not going to regret joining this institute.
