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

Placements: The average package offered for the CSE course is around 18 LPA. The lowest package for top branches is around 12 LPA. High-performing students can get a package of 52 LPA on campus. The highest package offered off-campus is 1.2 crores per annum. Core branches have many PSUs, like Trident, that visit the college for placements and internships.

A much better experience than expected.

Placements: Placements here are much better than expected. All seniors I know are placed somewhere, and for CSE, IT, ECE the placements are very good. Last year, more than 10 students secured 52 LPA (the highest on campus). The institute also gives internship opportunities in Microsoft, Amazon, etc.

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

Placements: Due to being in the first year, I’m not very sure about placements, but as far as I know, the average package is around 12 LPA, and the highest goes up to 52 LPA. VLSI is a new branch, so there’s no placement data available for this branch yet, but I assume the data will be similar to the ECE branch.
