The placements are getting better year by year. The college life is also awesome.
Placements: The placement percentage is 100 percent for the eligible students, however, the numbers are not that good. The highest placement package on campus is 18 LPA for the branch Industrial and Production Engineering. The lowest package is 4 LPA, and the average is 8–9 LPA. The top recruiting company is Trident. The top roles that are offered are basically in the research and development department, but one can also excel in other fields by having good knowledge and practice for that particular field.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is awesome, simply mind-blowing. There are no issues regarding the infrastructure of classrooms, library, etc. However, the infrastructure of hostels for first-year students is not that good. The hostels are very basic, they provide one bed and a chair-table for one person and a cupboard/almirah for clothes. The quality of food is decent; the chapattis are very bad to eat, but the other items and menu rotation are good. The canteen of our college is average, not great in taste, however, Domino’s and Nescafe provide great taste and quality of food.
Faculty: The teachers are very qualified and helpful, and their way of teaching is also good. If we exclude some of the faculty members, then we can say that teaching quality is good overall. The curriculum of the course is relevant and makes the student industry-ready. The semester exams are tough; students have to work hard to pass the semester exams with good grades. Otherwise, the copy checking is a bit strict, which doesn’t give easy marks to students.

Core placements are not satisfying, but everything else is top notch. Sports and cultural.
Placements: Placements in the civil department are not very good. You receive fewer core opportunities on campus, but there is scope in non-core roles. People do get placed. The average package is 7.5 LPA, and the highest goes up to 20 LPA, which is in tech. You have to prepare for placements yourself. The college curriculum does not help much here.
Infrastructure: The department building has all the facilities needed. You can reach out to any faculty member for help, as they are really friendly. Hostels are decent, and the mess food is good enough. First-year hostels have a badminton court and a volleyball court. There are three boys’ hostels and two girls’ hostels for first-year students.
Faculty: Faculty members are really great. They are highly qualified professionals with several years of experience. They are mostly approachable. The curriculum of the course is decently hard. You can pass the exam only after studying properly. You need to know what is in the syllabus; otherwise, you will fail. Practical labs are all working and in good condition.
Other: Events are held regularly on campus, where regional celebrities are invited occasionally. The fest is also good; you will experience it yourself.

Faculty is average, placements are going up, and infrastructure and facilities are good for the cost
Placements: My course hasn't produced a batch eligible for placements as it started in 2023. The first batch is in its 3rd year. But we can say that the placements will be almost equal to the CSE branch. The CSE department had an average placement of 15 LPA last year and the highest package of around 50-60 LPA. The placement percentage is around 90-95%.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good in my opinion. The classes are well-equipped with projectors and smart boards. Its one of the benefits of government institutes. There's Wi-Fi everywhere on campus. The library is also newly made and very comfortable. The hostel we got in our first year is actually very good. The food is actually good, and everything else is too, the facilities for outdoor and indoor games are enough, there's a computer room with high end PC's. There's only one downside to this, that we have to share a room with 3 other guys, but we get used to it soon.
Faculty: The faculty is kind of hit or miss. My Maths professor and EEEE proof, both we pretty bad. It is impossible to understand what they taught. The rest are actually pretty good. I'm not sure if the curriculum makes us industry-ready, the industry is changing exponentially. The semester exams are pretty easy, 7.5 CGPA is manageable without studying.
Other: Data Science is the future, it certainly has a lot of scope. I wish the course had started earlier, it's a very new course, so we don't really know anything about placements or anything. The course is under the CSE department, so that's one thing that could change. They can make DSE a separate department. The events are regular, and the fests are somewhat good. It's a typical NIT thing. The campus crowd is decent. The connectivity is actually very bad, the campus is totally separate from the city of Jalandhar.
