NIT Jalandhar is a tier 1.5 college only because of its remote location.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is present throughout the campus. Labs are new and well-maintained. There are two main libraries. The new library is a state-of-the-art construction with a seating capacity of 900ish people at once. The old library contains almost every text we need throughout the course. Hostels are way better than most of the other NITs. The mess food is good. First-year students get 4-sharing rooms, and from the 2nd year, we get 2-sharing rooms.

A much better experience than expected.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very good and modern, and the college gives an aesthetic vibe in the months of autumn and winter (leaves and fog everywhere). Hostels are a bit older, but there are new hostels as well, and new hostels are also under construction. Everything is of modern architecture because most of the buildings were made recently.

Honesty, not very impressed by an NIT, but still worth the money, average placements in 2025.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is decent. The classes are good, and the hostels are fine. Food is good as well. The first year, hostels have too many students in a single room, though 4 kids are in a single room. The labs are pretty good. Honesty rest, I don't know. The clubs are pretty bad, they don't even have a dance room.

At last, this is one of the premium institutes in India.

Infrastructure: First-year students are provided with separate hostels, and we are provided with good facilities like good and hygienic food, good toilets, Wi-Fi facility with good speed, and rooms big enough, a separate washing machine room for washing clothes. The campus is large, and branch dedicated buildings are present here. Good dedication facilities, and canteen facilities are provided, there is also a gym for students interested in fitness.

Not the best placements (but in rate it's 100 percent in my branch) but a very good college.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is the best thing in the college. Every day I go to my college from hostel and see all the buildings and so much luxurious classrooms, my heart fills with happiness that I'm at a very best place for 4 years of my graduation. The surroundings are clean and there are little extreme climate conditions though.

It has a big green campus with good classrooms. Placements are good.

Infrastructure: There is a separate building for the CSE branch in the college. Many options are available in the college for food and snacks if you do not enjoy the hostel meal.
