NIT Raipur has good placements.

Placements: In my Computer Science and Engineering batch, there are 116 students in our batch, and the placement percentage is quite good (85%) with a good average LPA of 15 LPA, and the highest goes up to 80 LPA. Many companies visit here, like Oracle, PhonePe, Amazon, etc. Many students get internships in their 2nd and 3rd years. Good environment in college, coding culture, etc.

Infrastructure: For my department, hostels are available, but it can be a problem for students in the lower department in the first year because hostels are allocated based on ranks in the first year, and in the second year, they are based on CPI in the first semester. LAN is available in hostels. Food quality depends on hostels, but they are eatable. There is a new sports building and a gym is available, opening time is 5 PM and closing time is 7 PM, only 2 hours, which should be increased by them because of too much crowd due to only 2 hours. Medical facilities are also good.

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.

Other: The best thing about NIT Raipur is that the placements are good here.

I’m dissatisfied by infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: From my branch, 12 LPA is the median package you can expect, and for the highest, it is 23 LPA or something, the lowest is 2-3 LPA. Out of 100, almost 80-85 people are placed in our branch. You can go to all industries that do iron steel, etc., making processes such as Kalyani Steel.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is horrible, for an NIT at such a name, or stood nowhere to my expectations. I am in my 4th semester right now, but till today we haven't had any air conditioning in our classroom. It heats up too much in summer. Faculty members have personal ACs in their cabins, and other branches, such as mining and IT, have air-conditioned conditions. This college gets a good amount of maintenance money, but invest minimal. I don't live in hostels, but what I have heard is that they don't provide quality food or water.

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.

Other: Just for the degree, I have chosen this course, I have nothing to do with metallurgy. I have my own work going on. Fests are horrible. A cheap singer comes to it, and no decoration as such.

Living a good college life at NITRR.

Placements: Placements in this college are quite low in my department, which is Biotechnology. The placement percentage is 29 percent, according to some websites, but that is not so true. I think it is less than 20 percent, as I am not sure about that. The highest package offered is 13 LPA, and the lowest package offered is 4.3 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my college is quite good, as I have visited the college of my friends, which does not have many facilities, like here. The hostel is available, but we can get it if we score a good CPI in the semester. Only a few students get a seat in the hostel.

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.

Other: Students can take admission here if they are getting good branches, because placements of other branches are good.

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.

The college has good faculty members with high knowledge.

Placements: In my Chemical Engineering Batch at NIT (National Institute of Technology) Raipur, there are 80 students in one batch. Our placement percentage is 90+. The highest salary offered was about 18-20 LPA, while the average was about 8-9 LPA. Some companies that visit us include Reliance Petroleum, BPCL, and HP.

Infrastructure: Our college has good infrastructure, with good Wi-Fi speed, labs, and a central library for self-studies and book issues. I will give it 3 stars because the classroom is okay, but the hostel facilities are below average. We also don't have a cricket ground on our campus to play cricket.

Faculty: I want to give it 4 stars because the faculty members in our department are highly knowledgeable and highly qualified. A few of them are from very big government institutes. They are helpful sometimes and sometimes not, and they follow traditional methods of teaching with their notes, etc. The semester exams are average. You can pass them before studying for 2 days.

The college has very good infrastructure.

Placements: My name is Sheelu Saini, and I am in the Biotech branch of NIT Raipur. The total number of students in our batch is more than 1000, and in our course, the number of students is 80. I don't know the exact percentage, but in our course, it is very low. I don't know too much about the placement right now, but I will surely ask our seniors about this.

Infrastructure: Our academic building is good and has a classical shape. It was started in the year 1956 by the President of that time, Dr Rajendra Prasad. The facilities are good. We have many water coolers in our college. We have a lift in it for going to other floors. There is a central library in our course. The hostel food is okay, which means you can have it without any vomiting.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified. They have too much knowledge about their subject and its real-world use. Our course makes students ready for the industry. Students can work in labs. The semester exams are not too difficult for those who have studied well, but can be challenging for those who didn't study, not even before exams. There are 2 exams in every semester.

Other: I chose this course because I was not sure about leaving my home state. Companies should also visit our branch.
