College is good, with great faculty and placements, but the infrastructure is outdated.

Faculty: Professors are well qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is also good, but the temporary facilities are not good. As our course is Biotechnology, no such companies are hiring B.Tech students. The curriculum is good. Semester exams are neither hard nor too easy. Pass percentage is around 90 percent.

Good placement rate this year

Faculty: I think faculty members are quite good. A few of them are from IITs and NITs, and some are from top universities in India like BHU, DU, and JNU. Our department has labs and is also currently working on research. Semester exams are moderate, which means you can easily pass by studying 2–3 days before the exam.

Decent for placements and poor for campus life. Good for opportunities.

Faculty: Professors are highly qualified. All are PhD holders from IITs, NITs, and foreign institutes. An ECE Bachelor's course doesn't make one industry-ready. One has to do courses side by side to become industry-ready. Semester exams depend on the professor. Marking is relatively simple.

Academically excellent with supportive faculty, but hostel accommodation facilities are limited.

Faculty: In the first year, we were taught by contract professors. The teaching quality is average. The curriculum is relevant. Most students score between 8.0 and 8.5 CGPA, and a few get backlogs in subjects like Maths, Engineering Mechanics, and Engineering Graphics. Professors are very strict.

Actually pretty satisfied with faculty and placements, though the infrastructure is not as good.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, knowledgeable, and well-qualified. The course curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are of above-average difficulty, although the level of difficulty depends on the subject and faculty. Previous-year questions sometimes get repeated, but not always.

Absolutely satisfied with the college because of placements.

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.

Average placement and campus life.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and emphasize deep theoretical knowledge. The curriculum is core-industry relevant but requires self-learning for IT and analytics roles. Semester exams are moderately difficult. It requires a 35% pass mark, resulting in an 85–90% success rate.

Decent college, not too good, not too bad.

Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful, well-qualified, and somewhat knowledgeable, but students still need to study on their own for exams. The curriculum is very outdated. Semester exams are not very tough; students can pass with one day of preparation.

NIT Raipur curriculum is awesome, but the worst part is the low number of hostel seats.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, like in other NITs and IITs. Teaching quality is good, and the course curriculum is relevant, except for the first year, when all branches study the same subjects. Semester exams are not very difficult, and even if they are tough, relative grading ensures CGPA is not significantly affected.

Absolutely satisfied because of faculty and college life.

Faculty: Faculty are very good at their work and teach very well. They are not very strict. As I am a 1st year student, I have concluded that our curriculum is relevant and the 1st year syllabus is the same for all branches. Exam patterns are fixed. Each semester, they conduct two exams, mid-semester and end-of-semester, which are also not very difficult if you study well.

NIT Raipur has good placements.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are good, but some of the assistants do not behave in a manner with some students sometimes, but most of them are good. The teaching quality is good, but we have to study on our own at last. The semester exams are quite difficult, but they give a good value to our knowledge.

I’m dissatisfied by infrastructure and facilities.

Faculty: Easy to pass the exams. All of the materials are available in the drive, and you can directly study from there. PYQs are available, and notes are available. The relevance of the course is somewhat good, and some professors teach really well. Curriculum is a way to study, to be honest.

Living a good college life at NITRR.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified, obviously, as we are at a national-level institute where only students who have cracked the JEE get admission. It is very tough to get admission in an IIT or NIT. They are also helpful. If we have any doubts, then they will solve them after the lecture covers. I don't know about the relevance to the curriculum. Semester exams are quite easy in the first semester, but I got a supplementary in Maths, which I have cleared now.
