4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

We get to experience a campus designed to support innovation, learning, and holistic growth.

Placements: We have a good number of students in our batch. More than 60 percent of batch students got placed through campus, and the other 40 percent of students signed up to not opt for campus placements. The average package offered is 5 LPA, and the highest package offered is 12 LPA. The lowest package offered is 3 LPA. TCS is the top recruiter in our batch, followed by Tech Mahindra and Infosys, too. From our batch, a lot of students opted for medium-sized IT firms in Bhubaneswar and Hyderabad for internship opportunities. Roles like business development executive and SDE are offered.

Infrastructure: The hostel and mess are good. Both boys' and girls' hostels are there, but not co-ed. Wi-Fi is there, and its usage is good. For the mess and hostel, we have to pay an additional deposit, which is refundable at the end of the semester. The quality of food is average but manageable. We have a basketball court too.

Faculty: Teachers are amazing and qualified. Their behaviour towards students is also good. Most of the teachers are PhD holders. The course curriculum is relevant, and due to AI and other technological advancements, it is going to be relevant. Exams are always difficult, but we have to study consistently to pass. Around 90 percent of students pass the semester exams.

Other: I chose computer science engineering after 12th. I decided to opt for this due to the opportunities and learning of this subject. I had a passion for tech for a very long time, so I chose it. Internship opportunities are something this college lacks, or else it's a good college. Events and fests are amazing. We organise Sankalp fest every year for 3 continuous days. If students are from the EWS category, then they will have a lot of scholarships. Students also get a scholarship based on merit and top performance.

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.

Take admission only if you have money constraints, unless you avoid it.

Placements: About 35%-40% of 2021-2025 batch got placed, with the highest package of 23 LPA, the lowest of 1.8 LPA, and an average of 3 LPA-3.5 LPA. Top recruiters include TCS, Tech Mahindra, Mysa, Texas Instruments, HP, Infosys, and other small services-based companies. Our college is not known for internship opportunities, so there are probably 10%-20% internships. The hiring is mainly for development and data analytics.

Infrastructure: For computer systems that are outdated with a lower than 3rd-generation Intel. Infrastructure is below average compared to other colleges. Wi-Fi is the only thing that is faster than other colleges. For hostel, the infrastructure is below average and has worse toilets. Mess is average as compared to other private colleges, canteen is only available during the day. There is a medical facility on campus and one in the hostel with an ambulance facility. For sports, we have an indoor stadium which has probably all the games, and with an occasional opening, a swimming pool.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and they try to help you to the best of their ability, they have decent knowledge in their subjects on a scale of 10, I would rate it 7. The course is relevant with an updated curriculum, but for the new courses like AIML, there is a shortage of good faculty members. It makes us industry-ready. The semester exams are not that tough, one with a basic course idea, and common sense can pass the exams easily. The pass percentage can be 85%-80%.

Other: I have chosen this course because it's near home, and also I don't have enough rank to get into a good college. There is only one good thing about my course, and I can easily secure 80%-95% in the semester exams.

My advice is to do admission anywhere else but not here.

Placements: The percentage of students placed in my course is only 30%. The highest package in our course is 23 LPA. The lowest package in our course is 3.5 LPA. Gyansys is the top recruiting company for our course. Salesforce is the top role offered in our course.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi connections are good on campus. Labs are air-conditioned. Classrooms are not that much good. Library is good. In hostel, the rooms are good. But the food is the worst. Medical facilities are good. Sports are very good, and you also get opportunities. The mess and canteen food are not healthy.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful but the old teachers are not friendly with the students. Teachers only focused on completing the syllabus, nothing else. Semester exams are not that much good because the exam department doesn't care about the student's results.
