Really satisfied with it except mess.
Placements: Good companies have come and nice packages are being offered. Almost 80 percent of the students got placed. The highest package is 22 LPA. The lowest package is 6 LPA. The average package is 14 LPA. Top recruiting companies are L&T (the only one I know) but there are many. Internships have not yet started for us.
Infrastructure: Labs are not that bad but can be improved. There is new composite block called pentagon. It is very nice. As of now we have classes in SCB but we didn't have a projector. We have to adjust a classroom with some other depth. Sports and games highlight for our college.
Faculty: Our teachers are really helpful. They are knowledgeable too. The course curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are a bit difficult but you can score well. The pass percentage is 99 percent. The teaching quality is very good but there are cancellations of many classes.
Other: Events and fests are average and sometimes hit. Overall experience of fests is that we can enjoy a lot.

A college that is growing at a variable velocity.
Placements: My batch 2024-2028 is a lucky batch because from the admission, we have seen the construction works that are going on in the college. Perhaps I am from the civil engineering Department, so most of the construction work, equipment, and process we saw on the site made it easy for us to understand the civil engineering work too.
Infrastructure: Literally, the hostel was not available before this time because construction for the hostel was going on. So each room had three students staying. But now the new hostel is almost ready, so that is a good thing. In my Department, which is civil engineering, there is only one lab for all lab work. It's big in size, no issue with work, but for the subject of hydrology, the lab is there only for the name (the machinery system, hydrological machines are not workable, the lab is made of steel plates only for temporary work).
Faculty: Faculty are very supportive of any planning for the future. Our HoD is too strict about the rules and regulations. But I really don't like the exam curriculum, the reason is that they give the class questions that they discussed with the same values, which means no need to use your knowledge in the exam, just remember the solved questions, you will get marks equal to a higher capacity or knowledgeable student.
Other: I want to add information about the mess and the local food system. The food is not so good, they always sell extra, canteen us here, which fulfils the somewhat requirement of students, and now, just at the start of the month, the supermarket has been inaugurated, which has many things to fulfil the requirement. For drinking purposes, filtered water is available, but still, the water we use for batch or other purposes is very dirty, yellow water. The filtered water system has been completed, but it has not started.

It has poor management and poor facilities.
Placements: I am from the 2021-2025 B.Tech Civil Engineering batch from NIT Puducherry. Our class strength is 25, out of which 10 students got placed in the 2025 campus recruitment. Companies like Sobha and L&T visit the college for recruitment. The highest package offered is 13 LPA this year (2025) in our batch.
Infrastructure: NIT Puducherry has 2 boys' hostels and 1 girls' hostel. There is a sharing problem as freshers need to adjust 4 boys per room and 3 girls per room. Senior students need to share with 3 or 2, depending on the availability of the room. There is no single room available in this college. There is poor management, and if anything gets damaged or a Wi-Fi problem occurs, it takes nearly a week to get solved. It has a poor quality mess and canteen. Limited items are available on campus. Mostly, students go out to eat, which is 10 KM away from campus.
Faculty: Faculty members are very responsible and very strict. To get a signature, students need to wait for several hours during rush. Semester exam difficulty level varies with the branch. In civil, it is not so tough, and mostly repeated questions are seen. Throughout the semester, we have 2 cycle tests (CT 1 and CT2, both for 20 marks plus and 10 marks assignment) followed by the end-semester of 50 marks total, comprising 100 marks. Students need to get 35% to pass the semester.
Other: If students are from the North, then this college is not highly recommended. For girls, it has major issues as they need to enter their hostel before 9:30 PM. They need to do a signature every time they are going out of the hostel or going to class. If students are going off campus again, then at the main gate entry, they require an ID card. Staff members and security are rude to students.

EEE Graduate from NITPY, it is still developing.
Placements: People were placed with an average salary of around 7 LPA in EEE. Companies like Hitachi, Nexturn, L&T, and QBit Labs came for recruitment. The placement season is not over yet. A few people got into ABB. The roles offered were Graduate Trainee, Data Analyst, and Software Developer.
Infrastructure: It's under construction; a lot of facilities are yet to be established. Currently, there are two boys' hostels and a girls' hostel. One of the boys' hostels is air-conditioned, and the second hostel has good facilities. Mess services are average, and the food-providing service maintains cleanliness and hygiene.
Faculty: EEE faculty are good and supportive, although experts are limited to some areas of electrical engineering, and not a lot of research facilities can be availed. The course load was manageable, but with the advent of NEP, things have changed quite a bit.

The course curriculum is very useful for the students. 40% is the pass percentage and the semester exams are moderate.

Review of NIT Puducherry- National Institute of Technology.
Placements: 50 percent of students were placed in the IT sector. The highest package as of now is 16 LPA, the lowest is 3.5 LPA, and the average package is 8 LPA. The top recruiting companies are ABB, CDOt, Accenture, etc. 50 percent of students got internships from my course and in Lenevo company.
Infrastructure: The facilities in our college are average because it was constructed only 4 years ago. The Wi-Fi will be there strongly sometimes, and the Wi-Fi will be there very little sometimes, so it is difficult for us to use the internet. The food qualities will be bad.
Faculty: Yes, the teachers in the national institute of technology Puducherry will be more helpful, and the quality of their knowledge is very high, and they are so knowledgeable. Yes, the course curriculum is relevant, and the students from our industry were ready.
Other: I chose this course because I am very interested in physics.
