My brother was a day scholar at NIT Jalandhar and according to him being a day scholar in NIT Jalandhar is not easy. You might face several issues as a day scholar.
Making friends becomes more difficult as no one prefers a day scholar
You cannot enjoy the freedom of a hostel life
Commuting back and forth every day is a hefty task
You cannot participate in a lot of competitions and performances as they require long hours of stay
So if you want to make the most out of your college as a day scholar make sure you use all its resources to the fullest extent. Make the best of your time inside the campus and learn skills like typing.
