How is the life of a metallurgical engineer at VNIT Nagpur?

In reality, VNIT Nagpur does not stand up to its reputation. Being a student of Metallurgy at VNIT, I can shed some light on the life of students in my department-

1. I was told that the Metallurgy department of VNIT Nagpur is very famous, and among the best in India. However, in reality, many people don’t even recognize the name of VNIT, and refer to the college as VRCE.
2. The schedule of Metallurgy students is busy, with lack of free time for entrance preparation. Those who can’t mug things up, face a hard time getting decent grades. 
3. Though metallurgy has lots of scope for research, the faculty only focuses on homeworks and journals, rather than encouraging research aptitude among the students.
4. The faculty is very educated and experienced, but they put no dedication towards creating talented engineers like themselves.
5. The college doesn’t offer good placements and good opportunities for Metallurgy graduates. Thus, one has to give up and try finding jobs in other sectors.
6. The one advantage is that some professors of the department are student friendly.

Based on my experience, I would say that the life of metallurgy students isn’t good at VNIT Nagpur.
