This college is way behind the other colleges in terms of placement.
Placements: There were a total of 34 students in our batch. At the end of the year, only 8 students were placed by the college placement drive. The highest salary package offered was 4 LPA by Shapoorji Palonji, and the average salary package offered was 2 LPA.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure of the college were decent. There was Wi-Fi in the hostel and college campus. Classrooms and library were fully air-conditioned and clean. Hostel rooms had single bed, mattress, wardrobe, balcony, but they were no air-conditioners. We had common washroom and bathroom on each floor of the hostel. Sports facilities were quite good as the college has its basketball court, badminton court, football ground and table tennis court. It has its newly built simulator. The quality of the food served was pathetic in the college as students managed it, and the college was not accountable for that. The canteen was clean and spacious.
Faculty: Teachers in our college were qualified and knowledgeable. But they were not quite helpful except a few. Teaching quality was good. The course curriculum was relevant. Various industrial visits and simulator training in Faridabad was an important part of their curriculum which made students industry-ready.

Realities of the Unknown!
Placements: A healthy 85%+ students were placed across the leading power producers and manufacturing companies of India and abroad. Annual packages offered were good and handsome. It is relatively an unknown college but the placement assistance provided was nothing less compared to NITs.
Infrastructure: Next to perfect facilities. Cleanliness and hygiene were given due importance and significance. God food in the canteen, nice playing areas for all sports, a good auditorium, a perfect fest location, everything was in place.
Faculty: Probably the most unique course in core engineering you can come across, as it spanned everything from mechanical to electrical to electronics and of course, a deep dive into power plants. The degree of familiarisation one develops with boilers turbines and generators is really up to the mark and helps a lot in the industry.

A reputed college known for producing great power engineers.
Placements: The placement rate for our year was about 80-90%. There were 100% placements for our senior batch. But due to a decline in demand in the power industry and overall stagnation, the placement rate of college had reduced. The highest salary package offered was 4-5 LPA. The placement team consists of both students and faculty, and they are dedicated to ensuring maximum placements.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good as it is funded by the central government. Mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation labs have sufficient and good quality instruments. Classrooms were very basic for the B.Tech course, but the PGDC courses had well-furnished AC classrooms. The college is located right in the city's centre, so all the amenities are within reach.
Faculty: NPTI has a range of very experienced and knowledgeable permanent and visiting faculty members who have been associated with the college from ages. They also have substantial industry experience. The teaching methods were basic chalk and board, but the college has a well-stocked library. Faculty members provide freedom to students to take up projects if they wish.
Other: Sadly, the B.Tech course has been closed down due to various reasons.

The infrastructure of our college is good.
Placements: Here, the placements are much less compared to semigovernmental institution. Only a few gets recruited every year. And, from year 2017, the B.Tech course of all the NPTIs of India has been terminated and the other courses are active right now. There are various companies which recruits us like: Vedanta, thermax, tata power, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. New buildings are also being constructed for future uses. These rooms are provided with air conditioning and glass sealed windows. There are projectors too for the benefit of the students. The hostels are cool too. There are many rooms in the hostel area and guards are present as well.
Faculty: Faculty members are good. They help us not only with our mental preparation but also involve us in different physical activities. They help us with the understanding of different concepts (not only technical but our real life also). We are really grateful to our faculty members.
Other: We have half fee and full fee scholarships for the students. No ragging. Our campus is small but beautiful.

Companies called for recruitment are Thermax, Vedanta, tata power, cesc, adani, emerson, shapoorji pallonji, philips carbon black limited and many more.
Infrastructure: Talking about infrastructure, it is not so good. Labs are therr but equipments are not in good condition. Hostel wi-fi facilites were provided. Hostel rooms are well spaced with two people in a room. Qualities of food avaible in the canteen was goos but a bit costly.
Faculty: Teachers were moderately good. Talking about, it is a combination of both electrical, mechanical. Practical knowledge like industry exposure is awesome because in 6th semester college arranged a one month industrial visit for all the students to get a practical knowledge of what we studied in power engineering.
Other: Exposure is not so good. No seminars and technical related programs werr organised for the students. Scholarship were provided.
