Other: I chose this course due to my rank in the Joint Entrance Exam Main and the best thing about my course is hard work and learning. I like it. I wish to improve in teaching methods, as our focus should be on practical things, not on a theoretical basis.

Review of NIT Srinagar Chemical Engineering and overall placement rate.

Placements: Overall placement rate of our department is 35-45 percent. The highest package is 14LPA, the lowest is 2.8 LPA, and the average is 8 LPA. Companies that visit our campus for placement such as NTPC, DRDO, HPCL, etc. 15 percent of students got internships from the companies that visit our campus.

Infrastructure: The facilities of the classroom and library are at the top level. Everything is working and is advanced. There are a total 5-6 persons in one room in the boys hostel. The quality of food in the mess is better than that in many private colleges. There are full medical facilities and sports and games are also available for the students as well as for the professors.

Faculty: They all have completed their PhD. Their teaching style is good. The course curriculum is more relevant from the second year onwards. The college exams are moderate to difficult. The pass percentage is more than 90 percent including all the branches.

Other: I wanted to be a chemical engineer from the start. There should be more practical experiments and plants visit for the students. Events, fests, connectivity, etc., all are good.

Good placements in the tech with decent faculty members. Best branches are IT and Mechanical.

Placements: My course is Electronics and Communication it's the toughest branch in this college. The placement is very low this year in the core section but in the coding or tech section the placement is very good with every 4 students, 2 students are of Electronics who got placed in tech. Companies like Nvidia came but not a single student got an offer because they don't have any skills.

Infrastructure: Facilities, I would say, are good compared to other colleges. There is a two-floor library where every book is available. You can study there for the whole day, the library is newly built. There is Wi-Fi everywhere, but the speed is very low, so you can't use that Wi-Fi. Classrooms are decent, 2-4 wall AC, smart board, etc. In hostel the mess food is very decent and sometimes very bad. The medical centre here is quite good it is available 24/7 a doctor is there during the daytime.

Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful, but some teachers are not. They are all highly educated professors. Teaching quality in the main subjects is very good. In the first year, you have to get a little bit of knowledge of all engineering branches. They make you industry-ready.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty.

Placements: In civil engineering almost 60 to 70 percent of students got placed. The highest package was 18 LPA, the average package was 7 LPA, and the lowest package was 4 LPA. The top recruiting companies were Vedanta, Tata, L&T, and PowerGrid. Only 1-2 students got internships in civil engineering mostly in Autodesk. The top roles offered were in management and finance consulting.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was somewhat average. The labs were not so great. However the classrooms and library were very good. The quality of the hostel, food, and other facilities was up to the mark with IITs. The Wi-Fi in the campuses could do better. Labs needed to be up to date.

Faculty: The teachers were highly qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was best. The curriculum was highly advanced and I would say more industry-ready than IITs. The teachers were very helpful in finding internships and writing conference and journal papers. The course curriculum was the best and the teachers were very good.
