NIMAT review from a CSE Branch Student.

Faculty: Overall, all teachers are helpful and well qualified. Many holding Ph.D. degrees from IITs and NITs. The CSE curriculum is NEP-based and industry-oriented. If students study regularly instead of just before exams, they can easily score above 8.5 CGPA.

Good college if you are expecting a job with a decent salary & interest in the manufacturing side.

Faculty: Here, the exams are moderate as the questions are from the class notes. The faculty is average, they are there to help us and guide us, but many will teach in Hindi, so there might be a problem for South Indians who don't understand Hindi, and here they train us regarding industry.

It has good placements and a nice teaching faculty.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of some teachers is excellent, but some teachers are good at explaining. The semester exams in our college are very difficult to write and read. The pass percentage of the semester examination is 5 CGPA.

My institute is okay, and the hostel facility is excellent.

Faculty: Teaching is good. Teachers are helpful and qualified. The course curriculum is relevant, it makes the students industry-ready. The difficulty in the semester exams is medium, I guess. The results have not yet received. This is the negative of this college. The results will not be released for min of 45 days, which is the information we got from seniors.

My college is not the best but it's a good college for every average and low-ranked student.

Faculty: Most of the college faculty have Master's and Ph.D. in IITs and the curriculum of our classes and exams is good and exams are conducted properly and on time. The faculty is very familiar with students and if students have any doubts or fears about exams, the professor overcomes these fears to give them good guidelines. The syllabus of our course is similar to that of the IITs and NITs.

College is good, only the campus is small, and all other facilities are also good.

Faculty: All teachers are qualified and have certified Ph.D. degrees from a prestigious institute. Most of them get their Master's from IITs. Course curricula are relevant as they make the students ready for the industry. Semester exams are easy if you pay attention in class.

Absolute college for return on investment.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, and their qualifications are no less than those of any professor. They qualify for the NTA exam for a professor. Most of them are IIT graduates, IIT post-graduates, and IIT Ph.D. The course curriculum is designed according to the college's brand value. Not for computer engineering, but every branch considers the topic of manufacturing engineering.

NIAMT, Ranchi is a premium national institute.

Faculty: Now faculty members are good and earlier also were good. Professors are graduated from IITs mostly. Semester exams are not so hard but of moderate difficulty level. The course structure is designed in such a way that it directly relates to the industry requirement. The pass percentage is 35% overall including internal and external marks.

Overall, it is average and decent.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and well-qualified. All faculty members are Ph.D. holders, and the teaching quality is in Metallurgy depth. It is good enough for basic GATE questions.

Placements and infrastructure are good but lack of sports facilities. This is very good college.

Faculty: Faculty members are the main part of any college. Here faculty members are supportive but teaching way of some faculty members are very good while some are very bad. Teachers are very knowledgeable. Course curriculum is relevant and updated. It makes students ready for industries. Semester exams are difficult but not very much difficult. Approximately 85% of students pass without having back.

An underrated government college.

Faculty: Faculty members are well qualified with Ph.D. holder degrees from IIT or NIT. Teaching quality is good but varies from student to student, how they connect to their respective professors. Courses curriculum is slightly outdated with an old syllabus. Still, it is relevant as there is not much thing which has changed in the past few years. Semester exams are easy, consisting of one mid-semester exam between the semester and one end-semester exam at the end of the semester.

Highly underrated in terms of ROI, less exposure is the biggest drawback.

Faculty: Well-qualified teachers with Ph.D. from IIT / NIT are present to provide any help required. Teaching quality is moderate, as the branch is theoretical, so the student himself has to put in more effort. The course curriculum is outdated; they are still going with the old syllabus. Semester exams are easy, as 2 mid-sem and 1 end-sem occur.
