Strong CSE, decent placements, average mess.
Placements: I am pursuing B.Tech in CSE. Around 60-70% of students in this course are placed, with the highest package being about 23-24 LPA, the lowest being 3 LPA, and an average of roughly 5-7 LPA. Top recruiters include TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Flipkart, and Western Digital. Nearly 70% of CSE students receive internships, mostly in IT and service-based companies. Common roles offered are software engineer, developer, and analyst. As I am currently in the first year, I don't know much about the insights of placements. This is all I have known from my seniors, but a few seniors say there are barely any companies coming.
Infrastructure: For B.Tech CSE, the infrastructure is good, not anything fancy, with projectors in classrooms and whiteboards, well-equipped computer labs, and a central library that has plenty of technical books and all. The hostels are decent, with 24/7 water and very rare electricity cutoffs, average Wi-Fi speed but 24/7 availability, common washrooms, and basic sports and gym facilities. The mess and canteen food is okay or average with both veg and non-veg options, though the taste and hygiene are poor or average at times. Medical support is available on campus through a dispensary and ambulance.
Faculty: Most teachers in CSE are helpful, well-qualified, and have good subject knowledge and experience. The only issue was the accent of a few teachers, which made it hard to interpret what they were trying to say. The curriculum is broadly relevant and focuses on practical and industry-oriented skills, so it does help in making students industry-ready, though it feels like some subjects could be more updated. Semester exams are usually moderate to strict, with some twisted questions, but with regular study, they are manageable. The pass percentage range is roughly 60-80% depending on the batch.
Other: As I have a keen interest in computers, I chose CSE, and in my course, I think more practical things should be added. Our college hosts one main event that is SANKALP, which is a traditional and tech fest generally held in the month of November. The university is a bit secluded, with barely any shops outside. It's 15 km away from the city, and our college has the best bus facility. Many teachers encourage us to take scholarships, which are a government scheme.

This is good for everything a student wants to do.
Placements: I don't know about the placements because as I am in 1st year, I only know the things which are above. The highest package is 23 LPA, and I saw many of recruiters are coming here for the selection, and students are selecting. There are many companies which are recruiting here.
Infrastructure: It is not bad like the other colleges and the best for Odisha. The course infrastructure is so manually stabilized for easy access of the students for study. The campus is surrounded by its own Wi-Fi network. A separate indoor stadium is there where students get their passion.
Faculty: These things are too good as most of the faculty members are well-mannered, and they told us what they do, and the exams are secured as there is no chance to make any cheatings or anything any other colleges are doing. The semester examinations are done with high security.

Supportive faculty, good events, and the best placements for CSE students.
Placements: At NIST University, Berhampur, the placement infrastructure and prospects are above average among many private engineering colleges in the region. With effort, you can secure a decent job. However, if your ambition is for top-tier tech companies with very high salary packages, you should not rely solely on the placement cell. You will need to proactively build your skills and perhaps be ready for off-campus efforts too.
Infrastructure: You will find a good, comfortable campus with solid infrastructure and decent hostel life. It provides you with new blocks/rooms and doesn't expect ultra-luxury. With moderate expectations, it delivers well. Hostel facilities are fairly decent. It provides rooms for 4-5 students, sometimes AC/non-AC options, Wi-Fi in hostels, and reliable water/electricity.
Faculty: A good academic environment with helpful faculty and manageable exams. The curriculum is solid but could be more industry-oriented. Exams are moderately difficult. If you attend classes and study consistently, scoring good marks is manageable. Evaluation is fair, though it can feel strict in some subjects.
Other: If you want a balanced college life with decent campus culture, active technical exposure, and good placement opportunities, CSE at NIST is a solid choice.

The college provides good infrastructure and facilities for students.
Placements: Up to 80% of the students from our senior batch were placed in the year 2024. Top recruiting companies are Tech Mahindra and TCS (Tata Consultancy Services). The highest package was 23 lakhs in the year 2019, and the lowest was 6.3 lakhs per annum.
Infrastructure: The hostel environment is so good. You can look out for a clear and clean view from the courtyard outside the room. It looks like a green field. The Wi-Fi system is moderate to average. Classrooms and labs also have good infrastructure. Mess food is also good, with no remnants from previous days. For sports and games, you can choose the indoor stadium as the best place, even if it is raining or during a thunderstorm, because it has good facilities for games like volleyball, table tennis, badminton, and kabaddi.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified pass-outs, professors from IITs and NITs. They will teach you in such a manner that if you are fully focused in class, you just need a quick review before semester exams. However, they teach very fast, which becomes quite difficult for newly learning batches; it was for me as well. In addition to these courses, additional courses are also required to become industry-ready, which you have to practice on your own, such as VLSI for ECE students. The semester exams were the easiest ones; the minimum SGPA in the first semester was 6, and the max went up to 9.7 SGPA.
Other: For the fest, I want to say that there are only 2-3 months. During this occasion, you can meet the fests like Kurukshetra (the gaming event), which goes on for 10 days. The biggest fest is the SANKALP, where various clubs perform their competitions and provide prize money. Mr. and Ms. Sankalp are also chosen from the first-year batch.

NIST University - The place for leaders.
Placements: Placements are average, and the rate is 70%. The highest package is 23 LPA. The average package is 5.5 LPA. There are companies like Infosys, TCS, HP, Accenture, Capgemini, and HCL recruiters here. There are no internships offered here from companies but some of the teachers present here can get the best internships.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure is fabulous. Hostel facilities are also good but there is a little compromise in food. Wi-Fi facility and AC rooms are available. We can see average rooms and also moderate food. Best in quantity but lacks in quality. Good for localities.
Faculty: A better exam is conducted at NIST University. The exam mode is very strict, no one can cheat. For those who will cheat, there is strict action taken for them. The exam pattern has been improved as earlier, and can get a moderate paper. Pass percentage is 90%. Highly qualified teachers with vast knowledge are present here.
Other: I have enrolled here for computer science engineering (AI&ML) because in this era of artificial intelligence, it stands unique from all. We have to choose a field that will make me stand out from all in this journey.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified. Their teaching is good but sometimes they lack understanding. The course curriculum is relevant but they need to focus more on knowledge and skills. Semester exams are a bit hard and sometimes questions are twisted but it is okay. The pass percentage is 35%. They have good knowledge. There are good teachers. Some teachers have personality issues but overall, teaching is good.
Other: Because of the high job facilities and better life settlement, I chose this course. The best thing about the course is to have an IT life. Things that should be focused on skills that a student should develop to get ready for industry life.
