    Good placements, green campus, amazing fests, and really good facilities.
    Placements: I am in 3rd year, so I will talk about my senior batch of Computer Science students. More than 85 percent of students are placed in very good companies with good packages. The highest package, as of my knowledge, is 60 LPA offered to a student by Meesho. The average package is about 18 LPA, and the lowest is about 7–8 LPA. Top recruiters include Amazon, Oracle, IBM, Meesho, and Wells Fargo. About 60 students secure internships at top companies like Google, Amazon, and Goldman Sachs. The top roles offered in this course are software development engineer (SDE).
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the Computer Science department is very good. It has the latest computer labs for students to get hands-on experience with the latest technologies. The whole department and classrooms are equipped with Wi-Fi for efficient connectivity. The college library is also very good, with many books and a proper quiet reading environment. Hostel facilities are well-ventilated with all basic amenities. Hostel mess food is also very good. A medical health centre is available for treatment of any illness. A big sports ground is also available for playing different sports.
    Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. They have multiple degrees and are well qualified. They teach different concepts and provide in-depth knowledge of every topic. The course curriculum is very relevant for Computer Science. It prepares students to apply CS concepts in real life and become industry-ready. There are three exams held across the semester: Mid Semester 1, Mid Semester 2, and End Semester. They are of moderate difficulty, and good practice leads to good marks. The pass percentage is almost 90–95 percent.
    Other: I chose this college because it is nearby and one of the best colleges in my locality. More hands-on experience can be added to improve this course. Events and fests are organized regularly in the college for enjoyment. The campus is green and lush, with a clean and healthy environment.

    It has a lush green campus with good placements.
    Placements: I am in my second year of college, so I am not eligible for placements. I don't know which companies visit the campus, but I know that a lot of companies visit the campus. The highest package offered in the 2024-25 batch in Electrical Engineering is 29.64 LPA. 79.09 percent of students are placed out of the eligible students. The lowest package offered is 5 LPA. I don't know about the internship offered in my course.
    Infrastructure: Classrooms are well-facilitated with a smart board for better learning and visualization. The library is very nice, with a lot of books. It is 24x7 open with a good environment. Labs are also nice with the latest technology instruments for practicals. In hostels, we have table tennis, badminton, volleyball, open gym, etc. We get facilities and newspapers in Hindi as well as in English for better knowledge. Food is very good, but a little bit oily. Students are very interested in playing sports as grounds are full of students in the evening.
    Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and very helpful in teaching concepts to students in the easiest way possible. The course curriculum is relevant to help students understand the upcoming AI technology and introduce it in electrical engineering, which is an efficient effort by the management. Semester exams are much easier if we have proper knowledge about the subjects. 40 percent is the pass percentage for each subject, 20 percent of internal and 20 percent of externals.

    Placements: Mechanical engineering at NIT Kurukshetra has good placements as well. Around 86% of students get placed. The average package is 9 LPA, the lowest is 4 LPA, and the highest reaches 18 LPA. Top companies like Tata, Hero Motors, and Mahindra visit the campus. Around 80% of students also get internships in core companies.
    Infrastructure: The department provides Wi-Fi, and the labs are well-maintained. The classrooms are spacious, and the library has an excellent collection. The hostels are generally good and kept clean, but the food in the mess and food street is just average. There are basic medical facilities and plenty of sports and recreation options too, so you won't really feel bored.
    Faculty: The faculty, staff, and teachers play a very important role in helping students learn. They are not just helpful but very supportive, and they try their best to provide a good education.

    College review of NIT Kurukshetra.
    Placements: Placements in mechanical department are decent every year, statistically around 70 percent of students are placed. The highest and lowest might differ each year but on average, the CTC could be 7.5 LPA. Major recruiters for mechanical engineers are Tata, HUL, Maruti Suzuki, Honda, Hero, etc.
    Infrastructure: All classrooms have digital boards for a better learning experience. As for hostels, the occupancy is decent for accommodating all students. Mess food is fine. Technical fests are pretty interesting, and the ambience of that is good too. All necessary facilities like hospital, etc., are accessible 24X7.
    Faculty: Professors are helpful, and they are supportive towards new ideas but the encouragement is still less. There is not much scope for research but academics are good. 2 mid-semester and 1 end-semester exams are held each semester. So, it might seem too much in the beginning but it's manageable.
    Other: I personally enjoy learning about machines, hence the mechanical branch. As for the course curriculum, I think it's fine, it's already evolving each year with the new batches coming. There are more interesting branches related to robotics and automation too. Fests are the loveliest part of any college. The people here are very friendly. I would say, they all love spending good time together, and they are all helpful in times of need.

    It's a good college. It has all the facilities, but weather makes it difficult, though manageable.
    Placements: Placements have been quite sound this year with companies like Uber, Meesho, and Make My Trip already picking up students and giving around 15 LPA for students of major branches like computer science, electronics and communication engineering as well.
    Infrastructure: The availability of network services is not fulfilling even mobile network of some SIMs do not work. The hostels do not have Wi-Fi. They have LAN service which does not allow WhatsApp to run as well. The quality of food is not that great. The rotis are made from machines and are mostly raw and incredible though. The medical facilities are top-notch. Sports facilities are also maintained well. Due to the extreme heat, sometimes the ACs feel worthless.
    Faculty: Most of the professors are very helpful, and they encourage students to solve doubts as well, though some faculty members face some language barriers that do not hamper their quality of teaching and providing education. The course is relevant and helpful, and contains a considerable amount of everything which also helps for placement.
