I feel quite satisfied.
Placements: Genuinely, my course is Production Engineering. It is considered a lower branch, but still, a good number of placements are continuing. Around 80% placement for the year 2025–26. I do not know the exact number of recruiting companies, but companies are visiting. A CGPA cutoff is applied for IT sector placements.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is somewhat okay for the first few years. There are generally 3 hostels. Our hostel needs some improvement, but we can somehow adjust to the facilities. The library is good. In terms of games, we have the freedom to play any sport when we are free.
Faculty: Undoubtedly, professors are the best. Their knowledge is excellent. Their lectures are very important. Honestly, the semester exams are somewhat tough, but the curriculum is relevant. We learn many things. For end-of-semester exams, we have to study more.

This is NIT better than other universities.
Placements: At NIT the placement is very strong, a large number of students get placed in companies. Depending on their branch and conditions, the lowest package is at 3 LPA-4 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Google, Microsoft, etc. The same goes for internships, many of the students secure a job during their internships.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is decent. The classrooms have basic facilities, departmental labs are also well-equipped, and a well-stocked central library. Wi-Fi is available across the campus. Hostel facilities are average to good with basic amenities like water, electricity, and Wi-Fi.
Faculty: Faculty is helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Many professors have Ph.D. and research backgrounds. The teaching quality is good, though this varies from professor to professor. The course curriculum is relevant and regularly updated. They prepare and teach well for work in industry.

Satisfied because of the faculties, events, and fests in 2025, and the good infrastructure.
Placements: In civil engineering, around 80% of the students who register for the placements get placed. The highest package is around 34 LPA and the lowest was 3.5 LPA. Larsen & Toubro, JK Cements, HPCL, BPCL etc. are the top recruiters from civil. Most of the students who do well in their academics get internships assisted by the institute in prominent companies of the core sector. Structural engineer, surveyor, and offshore engineering are the top roles offered by this course.
Infrastructure: The academic facilities are really good with top-class facilities and labs for practical sessions. The students have the opportunity to upskill their abilities. The hostel facilities and infrastructure are amazing. They provide high-quality food and facilities. The campus has Wi-Fi facilities, a study hall, and a world-class library. The campus has its own medical centre to look after the health of the students. Here they give high importance to sports and games. We have inter-NIT competitions for sports.
Faculty: We are guided by high-grade faculty members, who are graduates from top institutions in the world. They help us master each subject, assist us in projects, and clear our doubts without any hesitation. The course curriculum has been designed brilliantly, which helps us master the concepts in our core field and makes us ready to run an enterprise. The exam level also stays high with application-level questions that increase our problem-solving skills. The pass percentage in exams is around 90%.
Other: I chose this course due to my interest in the civil sector, which is a core sector that can give me wide opportunities. The course provides flexibility to go for higher studies in any field you like. It would be better to add more practical sessions rather than having only theoretical subjects, which would make us industry-ready. Our technical fest Tathva and cultural fest Ragam are considered the biggest fests in South India, which is the pride of our institution.
