NIT Jalandhar review 2026.
Placements: The Textile Technology department has an 80-90 percent placements this year. Most of the eligible students in the 26' batch got placed. The highest package is 18 LPA offered by Trident in core and 16 LPA by Amazon in tech. The average stood at around 5.8 LPA with companies like Vardhan Textile being the major mass recruiters. The roles majorly include the managerial and supervisor roles in textile mills and also managerial roles in non-core companies.
Infrastructure: Facilities are above average to good. The labs are well-equipped but some of the machinery in the laboratories is outdated and has not yet been replaced. Currently the department is undergoing renovation. The library is world-class. There are two libraries in the college one being the central or old library while the new library is just for study purpose. Both of them are fully air-conditioned and the old library has the book bank. The hostel is good but mostly old. The quality of the food is very decent both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food is available.
Faculty: The senior professors are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The new faculty members are helpful but some lack industry-related knowledge. The teaching quality is okayish. The course is industry relevant it truly prepares a student for the textile industry and gives them enough knowledge to be industry-ready.
Other: Since all of the students are given merit-based admission, the college crowd is really good. This place can connect you with talented people and improve your overall personality. The college has good sports infrastructure and a team that regularly participates in inter-NIT tournaments. There are a lot of events that take place in the college and all of them are really fun and engaging. The college societies are also there for personality development.

Satisfied and worth the money spent.
Placements: About 100 percent of students got placed from the 2024 batch and according to the current placement status in 2026 about 52 to 53 students are placed out of 70 in the current placement session and the session is still running. The highest package offered is 18 LPA by Trident and the lowest is about 6 LPA to 7 LPA, and the average is about 8.5 LPA to 9 LPA. Top recruiters for my course are Trident for core, Accenture for data roles, Flipkart, and Amazon. About 70 to 80 percent of students find internships in companies like Sonalika. Top roles offered are data analyst and supply chain.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities in the college are well maintained like there is a Wi-Fi that covers the entire college, one can sign in using their roll numbers and password as their DOB. It is newly constructed and has fully air-conditioned library and study room. A new lecture theatre is also constructed worth 51 crores. Hostels are divided separately for freshers and seniors to avoid ragging. Hostels are average as they have not been renovated but are well-maintained. Mess service is good according to the money they take. Sports facilities like two basketball courts, one volleyball court, and a gymnasium for badminton are available. A dispensary for medical facilities is available.
Faculty: All the teachers are Ph.D. from IITs or any foreign universities. Teachers are quite knowledgeable and solve the doubts of students. The course curriculum is not very relevant to the skills students need today, like AI, etc. For core the course makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are really tough but students manage to pass them. About 80 percent of students pass the examinations.
Other: I choose this course as, I want the NIT, well known for its brand value and in the Branch like IPE, I can also pursue some teach sort like data analyst etc. And more over its core placements were also good. To make a better curriculum and reduce the 75 percentage attendance criteria to 70 percent and narrowing down the acedamic time table from 10 to 2 not from 8:30 to 5:30 "UTKANSH" the biggest fest that occurs once a year in Feb or March. Scholarships are their based on income criteria and SC, ST and Pwd has lowfee.

Great coding culture in MnC.
Placements: The Mathematics and Computing branch here is treated on par with CSE by top recruiters. Seniors secure excellent SDE and Quant roles at major tech and fintech firms. The campus coding culture is highly competitive, leading to great internship and placement rates.
Infrastructure: The academic blocks and labs have reliable Wi-Fi. The central library is excellent for studying. Hostel facilities are decent, and the mess food is average but manageable. The best part of hostel life is the student-run night canteens for late-night cravings.
Faculty: The MnC curriculum is a perfect blend of theoretical mathematics and core computer science. It is highly relevant for industry roles. Faculty is qualified and helpful. Semester exams are moderately difficult and require consistent self-study to maintain a good CGPA.
Other: I chose Mathematics and Computing because it perfectly blends deep mathematical logic with core computer science. which is ideal for SDE and tech careers. The best part is our highly competitive, coding-focused peer group. One thing to improve would be making some of the purely theoretical math courses more applied. Campus life is amazing. Along with active clubs, tech fests, and events like TEDx. The crowd is diverse and motivated. There are great opportunities to build personal projects or start campus initiatives.

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.
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.
Faculty: Teachers are highly educated. The course curriculum is well-defined and industry-ready, especially for mathematics and computing. We will be taught things like schocastic calculus and topology, which are highly relevant for someone working in quantitative finance.
Other: Connectivity is an issue. The college is built in a remote location, which makes travel to and from the city a little expensive if done without sharing.

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.
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.
Faculty: The faculty are highly qualified, but the speed of teaching is very slow, and there are many irrelevant subjects in the course for 1st-year students. There are some subjects related to entrepreneurship and startups as well. Exams are a bit tough here, and the institute follows the 75 percent attendance criteria strictly.

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.
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.
Faculty: I'm not a huge fan of the teachers. Our teachers are pretty bad, and the curriculum isn’t available on the internet, so you have to rely on bad teachers. I didn’t score well in the first sem so of course I’m not happy about the faculty and exams. The pressure isn't a lot, though.
