It has poor management and poor facilities.

Placements: I am from the 2021-2025 B.Tech Civil Engineering batch from NIT Puducherry. Our class strength is 25, out of which 10 students got placed in the 2025 campus recruitment. Companies like Sobha and L&T visit the college for recruitment. The highest package offered is 13 LPA this year (2025) in our batch.

Infrastructure: NIT Puducherry has 2 boys' hostels and 1 girls' hostel. There is a sharing problem as freshers need to adjust 4 boys per room and 3 girls per room. Senior students need to share with 3 or 2, depending on the availability of the room. There is no single room available in this college. There is poor management, and if anything gets damaged or a Wi-Fi problem occurs, it takes nearly a week to get solved. It has a poor quality mess and canteen. Limited items are available on campus. Mostly, students go out to eat, which is 10 KM away from campus.

Faculty: Faculty members are very responsible and very strict. To get a signature, students need to wait for several hours during rush. Semester exam difficulty level varies with the branch. In civil, it is not so tough, and mostly repeated questions are seen. Throughout the semester, we have 2 cycle tests (CT 1 and CT2, both for 20 marks plus and 10 marks assignment) followed by the end-semester of 50 marks total, comprising 100 marks. Students need to get 35% to pass the semester.

Other: If students are from the North, then this college is not highly recommended. For girls, it has major issues as they need to enter their hostel before 9:30 PM. They need to do a signature every time they are going out of the hostel or going to class. If students are going off campus again, then at the main gate entry, they require an ID card. Staff members and security are rude to students.

Samsung is the top recruiter. 100% of the students got internships in companies like Samsung, Intel, Wipro, etc. The top role offered by our college is in the artificial intelligence course.

Infrastructure: We have three computer labs with all the software that is required for our practice and development of our knowledge and we have a library that consists of many books that are useful for students. Our hostel is a little bit messy, but when it comes to food, it is adjustable.

Faculty: Yes, our faculty is very much qualified and experienced. The teaching techniques include the theory about the topics and the practical examples and the solutions to solve the problems. The course curriculum is very useful for the students. 40% is the pass percentage and the semester exams are moderate.

EEE Graduate from NITPY, it is still developing.

Placements: People were placed with an average salary of around 7 LPA in EEE. Companies like Hitachi, Nexturn, L&T, and QBit Labs came for recruitment. The placement season is not over yet. A few people got into ABB. The roles offered were Graduate Trainee, Data Analyst, and Software Developer.

Infrastructure: It's under construction; a lot of facilities are yet to be established. Currently, there are two boys' hostels and a girls' hostel. One of the boys' hostels is air-conditioned, and the second hostel has good facilities. Mess services are average, and the food-providing service maintains cleanliness and hygiene.

Faculty: EEE faculty are good and supportive, although experts are limited to some areas of electrical engineering, and not a lot of research facilities can be availed. The course load was manageable, but with the advent of NEP, things have changed quite a bit.

Faculty: The best thing in our institute is the faculty members. They are highly qualified and have a wide range of knowledge in their respective fields. Our college is following NEP, that is, New Education Policy. It has the most updated syllabus. Semester exams are easy only if you have studied in class.

Don't judge a college by its tag.

Placements: This year, almost 30 percent of students from civil engineering got placed. Generally, companies like ABB, Ford-IT, Next TURN, L&T, BOSCH Global software and Samsung offer a median to high package. In civil engineering, the placement scenario is worse; most of the offers are for CSE or IT-related. This time, one senior Anna from Civil got a package of 1.2 LPA that also included CTC. The highest package in the core was approximately 15 lpa.

Infrastructure: In terms of infrastructure, this college is worse. Currently, it is in the developing phase. Wi-Fi is lower-band, classrooms are not AC-fitted, and the library is not enhanced enough to be called a central library. Only a handful of books are available there. For girls, there is AC in the hostels; it's called Moyar Hostel. For boys, we have two hostels, one in Bharali and another in Bhavani. In hostels, you will get yellow water that will help you attain your 30 quickly, because at the age of 20, you will start to look like an older guy due to excessive chair falls. Mark my words, you will experience the worst life here and no authorities even care about it.

Faculty: Faculty members are friendly but not well trained. If you are good enough to establish a sweet relationship with them, you will excel in academics. Teaching quality is far below the standards of an institute of national importance. I am happy with the course curriculum because it gives you the freedom to choose subjects from different departments. As per the rules of NEP 2020, a student with a decent CGPA has the academic freedom to choose a major from a different department. But this year, the authorities here compelled us to go with the minor option instead of a major for our own comfort, citing the infrastructural limitations.

Other: I was interested in getting the NITian tag, so in the search for mirage, I landed here. Now I am regretting my choice. The best thing about this college is that it doesn't exist. As of now, you have to wait 10 more years to discover if any better things are yet to come. Events here are neither entertaining nor creative; they are not even engaging. The most active club here is Hotshots, the dance club. I do like them. But they only dance to Tamil songs; it feels like they are still living in the old Bollywood era.
