I have a few friends from NIT Puducherry and according to them, students in NIT-P are facing difficulties due to the negligence of the administration.
The basic facilities are not provided. The administration is solely focused on increasing the number of courses in the institute. The institute lacks proper classrooms, hostel rooms and accommodation, water facilities, and a proper power supply. Even the basic amenities of the students are not being fulfilled.
There is also a transportation problem from the institute side. They have very few numbers of vehicles when compared to the number of students. Students on average waste about 5 hours per day due to the transportation problem.
But the situation is getting better slowly, now that it has moved to its own campus. Many of the important structures like the science block and hostels are built already.
