How is life at NIT Silchar?

At NIT Silchar, classes begin at around 8 am. Everyone rushes off to attend their lectures, mostly on an empty stomach. At 12 noon, everyone gets a break from classes and has lunch. This is followed by lab or afternoon classes on some days and free time on some others. Afternoon sessions are held till 5 in the evening. After 5, some people go for club meetings, some hit the gym, some play their favorite sports, and others spend time with their friends. This goes on till 7-7:30 pm. Sometimes, workshops and practical lab sessions take up most of the evening.

After that, it's time to go back to hostels, get some work done, take a bath and eat by 9 pm. Football fans like to watch games on the common room TV and gamers are on their screens till 12-1 am. Midnights are meant for birthday gatherings. This hostel schedule is for boys, it may differ for girl students. 

NIT Silchar has been a great experience for me, despite coming from a totally different cultural setup. You’ll find people from all over India over there. You should go to Indie Lake with friends in the evening. The campus is really big and there’s a lot to explore. The tech fest Tecnoesis and cultural-fest Incandescence are much awaited. Although NIT Silchar has undergone a lot of improvement, frequent power cuts, uncertain weather, and forest-like fields surrounding the campus may irritate you sometimes. 

Regardless of a few shortcomings, you will have plenty of fun with your friends during your time at NIT Silchar. Apart from studies, you’ll be introduced to night outs, college fests, and basically finding joy in the most random things. This place will teach you not just academics but also some valuable life lessons.
