Review of NIT Kurukshetra - National Institute of Technology.

Placements: The campus encourages students to participate in various clubs to transform them into skilled assets for companies. The active promotion of clubs is too limited. Placements in both core industries and the tech sector are equally supported. The highest known package is 1.25 crore (off-campus). More than 70% of students are placed. Companies like Mahindra, Tata, BHEL, and MSIL regularly visit the campus for core Electrical placements.

Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi availability, but LAN connections are provided. The boys' hostel infrastructure is not very good and is just okay for students. Rooms are small, but the common rooms have good space, along with a television and AC. Sports facilities for both indoor and outdoor games are available to help students relax. Food quality is not very good. Rats and worms are occasionally found in the food. It is better to cook yourself or develop the habit of eating fresh fruits. Medical facilities are available only in name. There is no guarantee of proper service.

Faculty: The teaching quality is inconsistent. Some teachers are very good and teach the higher branches with dedication. But some faculty members in the lower branches mainly focus on conducting viva examinations. There is less emphasis on active learning or developing students' interest, so self-study is important. Semester exams regularly include good questions that help students practice and strengthen their concepts.

Other: The college should actively focus on improving the infrastructure for undergraduate students. It should also provide more scholarships for general category students.

Good placements, green campus, amazing fests, and really good facilities.

Placements: I am in 3rd year, so I will talk about my senior batch of Computer Science students. More than 85 percent of students are placed in very good companies with good packages. The highest package, as of my knowledge, is 60 LPA offered to a student by Meesho. The average package is about 18 LPA, and the lowest is about 7–8 LPA. Top recruiters include Amazon, Oracle, IBM, Meesho, and Wells Fargo. About 60 students secure internships at top companies like Google, Amazon, and Goldman Sachs. The top roles offered in this course are software development engineer (SDE).

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the Computer Science department is very good. It has the latest computer labs for students to get hands-on experience with the latest technologies. The whole department and classrooms are equipped with Wi-Fi for efficient connectivity. The college library is also very good, with many books and a proper quiet reading environment. Hostel facilities are well-ventilated with all basic amenities. Hostel mess food is also very good. A medical health centre is available for treatment of any illness. A big sports ground is also available for playing different sports.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. They have multiple degrees and are well qualified. They teach different concepts and provide in-depth knowledge of every topic. The course curriculum is very relevant for Computer Science. It prepares students to apply CS concepts in real life and become industry-ready. There are three exams held across the semester: Mid Semester 1, Mid Semester 2, and End Semester. They are of moderate difficulty, and good practice leads to good marks. The pass percentage is almost 90–95 percent.

Other: I chose this college because it is nearby and one of the best colleges in my locality. More hands-on experience can be added to improve this course. Events and fests are organized regularly in the college for enjoyment. The campus is green and lush, with a clean and healthy environment.

It has a lush green campus with good placements.

Placements: I am in my second year of college, so I am not eligible for placements. I don't know which companies visit the campus, but I know that a lot of companies visit the campus. The highest package offered in the 2024-25 batch in Electrical Engineering is 29.64 LPA. 79.09 percent of students are placed out of the eligible students. The lowest package offered is 5 LPA. I don't know about the internship offered in my course.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are well-facilitated with a smart board for better learning and visualization. The library is very nice, with a lot of books. It is 24x7 open with a good environment. Labs are also nice with the latest technology instruments for practicals. In hostels, we have table tennis, badminton, volleyball, open gym, etc. We get facilities and newspapers in Hindi as well as in English for better knowledge. Food is very good, but a little bit oily. Students are very interested in playing sports as grounds are full of students in the evening.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and very helpful in teaching concepts to students in the easiest way possible. The course curriculum is relevant to help students understand the upcoming AI technology and introduce it in electrical engineering, which is an efficient effort by the management. Semester exams are much easier if we have proper knowledge about the subjects. 40 percent is the pass percentage for each subject, 20 percent of internal and 20 percent of externals.

NIT Kurukshetra College Review.

Placements: Mechanical engineering at NIT Kurukshetra has good placements as well. Around 86% of students get placed. The average package is 9 LPA, the lowest is 4 LPA, and the highest reaches 18 LPA. Top companies like Tata, Hero Motors, and Mahindra visit the campus. Around 80% of students also get internships in core companies.

Infrastructure: The department provides Wi-Fi, and the labs are well-maintained. The classrooms are spacious, and the library has an excellent collection. The hostels are generally good and kept clean, but the food in the mess and food street is just average. There are basic medical facilities and plenty of sports and recreation options too, so you won't really feel bored.

Faculty: The faculty, staff, and teachers play a very important role in helping students learn. They are not just helpful but very supportive, and they try their best to provide a good education. Their teaching style prepares students well for industry needs. Overall, the faculty members are good and approachable.

NIT KURUKSHETRA - My 4 years of journey.

Placements: There is a strength of 120 students in CSE in B.Teach. Currently, the median package is going on 21-22 LPA. Placement of CSE is at the top level as compared to all other branches. An internship is also good. You can crack placement/ internship off-campus ( I mean, there is a huge scope. Many students crack Google, Microsoft off-campus). Placement as an NIT is good.

Infrastructure: Hostel rooms are good if you are adjustable until you are living in the H6 hostel. Washing Machines are available. Laundry man is available, but he is costly. Bring your iron also. Table tennis, chess, volleyball, badminton, cricket. TV screens are available in each hostel. In the seniors' hostel, a gym is also available. Talking about messy food, it is like okay. H3 mess food is good (best). The rest of us have to survive like you. No Wi-Fi only Lawns connection.

Faculty: Faculty members are good and friendly. Examination criteria are a little bit too strict, like two mid seem serious? The rest of the curriculum is excellent. All teachers will clear your doubts. You can take extra classes from them. Your solo time. Is cheating possible in exams?

Other: I had chosen this from all my available options because of the internship opportunities. We can do an internship from here from the 2nd year onwards. I want campus life to be better. More fests and more famous personalities come to campus, and take 1 mid seems not 2. Connectivity with other College students is good. Everyone respects you when you are in NIT KKT. Scholarship scheme, you can check that on the NIT KKR official website.

The honest review of NIT Kurukshetra.

Placements: About 71% of students are placed in our course. The highest package is 51 LPA, the lowest is 5.6 LPA, and average is 14 LPA. Top companies include Amazon, Flipkart, and Meesho. Many students got internships in 3rd year on basis of their skills. The roles vary as per individual choice, some may be in embedded system i.e., hardware side while some in software technical jobs profile.

Infrastructure: All the classes are air-conditioned but some of the ACs don't work properly in our class. Our institute has a big central library which has a lot of books but as a student we don't have enough time to read those books. All the apparatus is in good condition, and performing the experiments by yourself is very enjoyable. But when the lecture is given about how to proceed and what the theory is about experiments are very boring. Hostel facilities are also decent. Sometimes mess food may not be too good. Every sports facility is present.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified when it comes to studying for the exam one night before our one and only best teacher is on YouTube. Curriculum is the same outdated one, which consists of more theory but it is still improving to engage more practical application. All brilliant minds came here after qualifying for the JEE exam so the level is decent. But to only qualify i.e., getting a passing mark is not so hard. Almost 90% get passed.
