Absolutely satisfied with the college life I lived. Good infrastructure, hostel rooms must be AC.

Infrastructure: Hostels are well-built with Wi-Fi facilities. Libraries are new with all the Wi-Fi and LAN facilities. Classrooms are really neat, clean, and spacious. Talking about the food in hostel, it's really good. Just feel like home internal dispensary is there if students are facing any issues even late night. Ambulances are always there. Staff is very supportive. NIT Jalandhar promotes sports at a very good level.

Some insights of NIT, Jalandhar.

Infrastructure: Taking a further glance at the infrastructure, as the college is primitive, buildings are from old times, but they are being renovated in a timely manner. Wi-Fi is available everywhere on the campus, and the speed is also appreciable. The dispensary here remains opened till 8 in the evening. The ambulance is available all the time in case of an emergency.
