Absolutely satisfied with the college because of placements.

Placements: Placement is one of the best things about National Institute of Technology Raipur. Despite being considered a middle to lower NIT, students still choose it mainly because of its placement rates. It is not just for CS and IT, but also because core placements are good, especially in Mechanical, Chemical, and Metallurgy. For Mechanical, the average remains close to 8–9 LPA over the last 2–3 years, and the highest goes around 18–20 LPA. The placement rate is among the finest compared to other branches, reaching around 93–94 percent.

Infrastructure: It is not a very large college in terms of infrastructure. Expectations should be kept low as it mainly lacks in infrastructure. There is not even basic hostel facility available for all students. Only a few students get hostels in the first year. Hostel allocation is based on JEE rank and reservation norms, and later depends on CPI/SPI.

Faculty: Some faculty members are good, but from an exam point of view, students mostly prepare on their own using YouTube, Chat-GPT, etc. Studying 4–5 days before exams is usually enough for a decent CPI/SPI. The curriculum is similar to other NITs.

Other: If you want good placements and do not have any other options, you can choose NIT Raipur. Otherwise, do not come with very high expectations.

Good college but it has a hostel shortage.

Placements: I'm Aas Khobragade, from the Mechanical Department 1st Year NIT Raipur. In our department around 80-85 percent of students got placed last year as per college data. The highest package offered is around 22 LPA and the lowest is 6 LPA. The average package is 9 LPA-10 LPA. The companies that recruit are Tata, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the Mechanical Department is nice, not much good but okay. With the labs and all the equipment. There is a library on the 2nd Floor of the college where books are available. You can issue them. The hostel facilities are decent with a shared room with 2 people in the first year and 1 student in the second year.

Faculty: The faculty in our department are very knowledgeable and qualified with many having done their Ph.D. degrees. They are helpful but sometimes they can shoot at you if you don't listen to them. Our course makes students ready by doing work in labs. The exams are moderate level and the passing percentage is 35 percent of the top score.

Other: I chose this course because I'm Interested in the core branch.

My honest reaction to NIT Raipur.

Placements: The placement of NIT Raipur is considered as the lowest package of NIT Raipur, which is 3 LPA, the average package is 12 LPA, and the highest package is a maximum of 40 LPA. The percentage of students who got internships is 45% in mechanical engineering per year, atleast 30% got placement. The recruitment companies in mechanical engineering are Vedanta, Tata Motors, and Reliance.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of NIT Raipur is very good and attractive, associated with a vast campus and good facilities. There are workshop practices for mechanical engineering. Wi-Fi in each department. The hostel facilities are satisfactory, but lack of hostel beds for students. There is also a medical room, an indoor games club, and a big outdoor games field. I really conclude that the infrastructure is good and the facilities associated are very good, spread out in a vast area. It really seems like a good campus.

Faculty: The course curriculum of NIT Raipur is relevant and designed according to its reliability. The professor is well educated from top IITs. It helps to encourage the student to get a good placement and develop more skills. There are 4 exams in a year, 2 MST and 2 end sem. MST is easy, but the end sem is relatively tough. The pass percentage is 90%.

Other: Actually, I have an interest in machine development, and I think this course helps me a lot. There should be more gadgets machinary system should be provided to students. Eclecrtika is the fest in NIT Raipur. In this fest, students enjoy dancing, singing, and a fashion show. The student got a scholarship through NSP.

They provide good placements in the mechanical ongoing session.

Placements: I am from the mechanical engineering branch. The placement percentage is about 90 percent. The highest package is 21 LPA, the lowest is 8 LPA, and the average package is 10 LPA. In my course, the top recruiting companies are Dassault Systèmes, JSPL, JSW, Reliance, and Caterpillar. In my course role, I offer data analytics, GET evt.

Infrastructure: In my course, a lot of labs are available, like the material testing lab, the engineering mechanics lab, the Rac lab, the measurement and control lab, the heat engine lab, Wi-Fi, and the library. In my hostel, everything is good, but one disadvantage is that there is a shortage of hostel space, so most of the students live outside. Medical facilities, sports, and games are available.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and friendly, and the teaching quality is good. This course curriculum is relevant, and it makes the students industry-ready. The difficulty level is moderate. The two exams are conducted mid sem and end-of-semester sem The passing percentage is 90 percent.

Other: I chose this because of my interest in automobiles. I want to improve in the field of autonomous vehicles. The main event in my college is Eklectika. The main scholarship is NSP 5.

Life of a mechanical engineer at NIT Raipur.

Placements: In our branch, about 90 Mechanical students were placed. The highest package was around 19 LPA, the average stood near 10 LPA, and the lowest was about 6 LPA. Top recruiters included Tata Motors, Mahindra, L&T, JSW, etc. Overall, good maximums are placed for those who are eligible.

Infrastructure: The hostel facilities at NIT Raipur are manageable but not the best. Since rooms are limited, not every student gets hostel accommodation. The essentials like mess, Wi-Fi, and common areas are there, but the overall infrastructure could definitely be better.

Faculty: The faculty is helpful, the curriculum covers the important subjects well, and exams are mostly mid-seems and end-seems with a mix of theory and numericals. So, the overall difficulty level is around 80 per cent. Bit copy checking is strict, so it is difficult to score.

Other: It's a better college than some colleges. If the student is good, then there is no problem for their career.

It is a good college. It is decently good in terms of placements.

Placements: A good number of seniors get placed on and off-campus. Flipkart and PhonePe are the top recruiting companies in our college. The top role offered in college is web development. Students also get placed in core companies like SAIL, Hindustan Petroleum, Indian Oil, BSP, etc. Many seniors also get internships.

Infrastructure: The college lacks basic infrastructure. It is well-established. There is a lot of sports equipment and other facilities. Hostels are a problem here. For first-year students, hostels are not enough for everyone in the college.

Faculty: Teachers are indeed helpful. They are well-educated. Overall, the teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is based on the latest pattern, and things that are actually required are being taught in the college. Semester exams are not too tough.

Infrastructure improvisation here.

Placements: For mechanical, the placement percentage stands in top 2 in NIT Raipur with 98%. The average salary is 9 LPA. NIT Raipur mainly concentrates on number of placed in placements. Companies such as Hyundai, Tata, Steel Plants, etc., come to the placements.

Infrastructure: There are enough labs and classrooms. Infrastructure is not upto the mark as it was built many years ago. It should improve in terms of infrastructure. With better infrastructure, the ranking goes very high. Hostel is the main drawback as there are not enough hostels provided. Hostels are provided only to some people based on CGPA.

Faculty: Faculty members and curriculum are okay. All the main faculty members are very good regarding their knowledge and their teaching skills. Curriculum is very relevant from 2nd year. But for first-year students, the curriculum is totally irrelevant and only few focus on the course they choose.

Other: Infrastructure should be improved. There are also few events like Eclectika which is the cultural fest of NIT Raipur and it goes well.

Overall, a decent college with every kind of experience.

Placements: Nearly 85% of students got placed. The highest package is 20 LPA, the lowest is 5 LPA, and the average is 9 LPA. Top recruiters for mechanical engineering include BPCL, Caterpillar, Jindal Steel, etc. The training and placement cell connects students and the recruiting company well.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided for the course are quite decent enough. Labs are okay and classrooms also are good but seats are way too old. Wi-Fi is available almost everywhere but works sometimes and not the other times. The condition for hostels is below average because firstly not everyone gets hostel, secondly the food is average and the water is below average.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and well-qualified, plus they put their 100 % effort into teaching. The course curriculum is not completely relevant because it is quite an old curriculum we have to learn things from ourselves to be industry-ready. The semester exams are not that difficult and are based on what is taught in class and previous year questions as for passing percentage it is around 85% to 90%.

Other: I chose this course solely because of the college brand tag that is NIT. The things which can be better in this mechanical engineering course is that it can be updated to the latest technology. The events and fest are awesome and the best in the state the clubs and communities are pretty active. Many students get scholarships from private as well as the government via college and without college also.
