Infrastructure: The infrastructural facilities to be honest are pathetic and you should not expect any indoor courts or high-speed internet. The departments are small and congested because they were built several years ago. The new lecture complex is however decked with modern equipment. There is also a small market on campus with around six or seven shops selling diverse items like groceries, medical store, snacks, fruit juice, stationary, and barber. The institute has no transportation facility like other engineering colleges and the amenities are overall limited. However, the academics are not affected by this at all.
Campus Life: NIT Kurukshetra has a number of clubs and societies both technical and cultural. Become a part of any of those clubs and experience some practical life outside of books. Try to become a part of the mess committee or student adviser, student internship coordinator placement advisory committee, etc. There are many eateries and other fun places in the vicinity of campus or you can go out with friends to various tourist places within Kurukshetra
Crowd: The crowd is diverse comprising students from all backgrounds, nationalities, societal classes, languages, mindsets, and walks of life.
Curriculum: The NIT Kurukshetra Mechanical Engineering curriculum is outdated and obsolete. However, a new updated curriculum is expected to be followed soon.
Hope the above points helped you understand things better!
