NIT Durgapur - A place that always stays with you.

Placements: In my course, 82% of students from our batch got placed. The highest package offered is 52 LPA. The lowest package offered is 3.3 LPA. The average package offered in the ECE course is 9 LPA. The top recruiting companies for our course are Microsoft, JPMC, Texas Instruments, Amdocs, and PwC. Nearly 40% of students from our batch are able to secure internships by the 3rd year. The top roles offered are SDE, digital logic engineer, and associate.

Infrastructure: Campus Wi-Fi is pretty good. Classrooms are well-maintained. The library is one of the most comfortable places to focus and study. The quality of the mess food exceeded expectations. We have a special dinner every Wednesday in Hall-1 during our stay in the final year, and have an even better dinner scheduled monthly.

Faculty: Faculty members of the college are extremely helpful, especially for ECE. The course covers all aspects an ECE engineer should know, and is exclusive to the GATE syllabus. Semester exams are moderately difficult, but one can ace them if studied sincerely.

Review of NIT Durgapur - National Institute of Technology.

Placements: Some years placements are good, but this year, placements for the 2026 batch are not that good. Almost 70-80% of students get placed in my branch. Many students got the average package of 9 LPA, and earlier, it may have been greater than this year. Finally, the college placements are quite good.

Infrastructure: The 1st year hostel is good and well-maintained. The 2nd-year hostel is good, but not well-maintained. The 3rd and 4th year boys' hostel is just below average with an old infrastructure. The mess serves a variety of food, but of average quality. The food served on the campus is a little costly.

Faculty: Faculty members are quite good in some subjects. A few faculty members are not that helpful or good. The course curriculum is very good as subjects and syllabus are quite relevant. Some teachers are really hardworking and dedicated, so they really help us.

Other: Fests organised are very good at NIT Durgapur. Fests named Recstacy and Aarohan are really very good.

Overall, it has good infrastructure, nice professors, and improving placements each year.

Placements: Approximately 80% of students from the CSE course get placed. The highest package offered is 80 LPA. The lowest package offered is less than 6 LPA. The average package offered is 17 LPA. 60% of students got internships in the 3rd year. Most students got 6-month internships, then FTE or PPO. Many students got the SWE role in the IT companies. Top product-based companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and JPMC visit the college each year. Other than this, a few startups visited the college this year. Overall, it is good for CS placements.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available all over the college. CS labs are good. The new academic building is modern. There is a large library building which has the most modern facilities. 1st year hostel is very good. But from the 2nd to the final year, its quality degrades. There will be 3 people in a single room. Rooms are quite large. For PhD and M.Tech students only, there are single rooms.

Faculty: The course curriculum of the CSE course is decent. Most companies ask questions from our CSE core subjects. So it is relevant. But in 1st year, it is filled with useless subjects. Some teachers go out of the curriculum and teach what is relevant. Some teachers are boring, like if we can understand what they taught, then it is good, or else it is not. Especially in the Electrical department, teachers are very strict like old school. Their teaching style is superb. They will teach better than the top NPTEL IIT teachers.

The college is good. There is a platform to meet like-minded people and to learn new things.

Placements: The Metallurgy branch in NIT Durgapur has a good placement percentage, and it has the highest among other branches, which is close to 94%. The highest package offered in 2026 is 45 LPA. The average package offered is 10 LPA. The lowest package offered ranges from 8.8-9 LPA, which is a promising branch. ROI of the college is also good.

Infrastructure: The college offers basic facilities like a library, labs, and classrooms, which are good and well-maintained. The hostel is also equipped with all amenities like a basketball court, a volleyball court, a badminton court, and common rooms. The mess food is average but good. 24x7 medical facilities are available. It also has good sports and games facilities.

Faculty: Teachers are good and qualified. The course curriculum is a little bit outdated, but it's not a big issue, and it's okay. Exams are also not very hectic, and they are medium. Students also score 10 CGPA in their exams. The pass percentage is good. Many students pass the semester exams without much difficulty. Semesters can feel hectic when departmental studies start. Students might face challenges in managing time and studies, but eventually everything works out in the end.

Other: The college is pretty good with a good campus life. Events and fests are happening throughout the year. We also get scholarships. Extracurricular activities are also held in our course. The crowd at the college is really good. We get to learn new things and improve every day.

It has a good infrastructure, but not the best.

Placements: Mechanical is one of the oldest branches. There are many opportunities for placements as well as higher studies. Almost 80 percent of the 2026 batch students get placed. The average package offered is 12 LPA.

Infrastructure: 1st year hostel is good. Mess food is average. Cleanliness is maintained well every day. Classroom, library, and Wi-Fi are available everywhere. The hostel is maintained carefully. Wardens are active participants in helping students in any situation. Sports are not good here.

Faculty: Faculty members from my branch are among the best. They are qualified and are doing many research projects at present. There are so many opportunities to work with them that are open from the 2nd year. Semester exams are a little bit stressful, obviously, as they are engineering-related. If someone studies regularly, then scoring good marks will be easy. Every professor in the mechanical department is highly qualified, but there is stress in studying in this branch.

Other: 2 major fests are organised in our college. Many famous artists come these days, making the college atmosphere great. But one issue is that they are very strict with 1st year students. There are so many restrictions in the 1 st semester, so we have to tolerate that.

It is an institute amidst the popular factories.

Placements: Placements of every branch are fulfilled. Almost every student gets placed. The placement rate is 80 percent for almost every branch except biotech, as students tend to go for further studies, while the rest of the categories are fulfilled. The data speaks for itself.

Infrastructure: The only problem is with washrooms, otherwise everything is fine in the way it is. Mess food tastes good at times, but that's to be expected as it is a government college. The network offered is to be noted. All communities are to be seen here, and diversity is maintained. There is proper and complete security.

Faculty: Midterms are held a month after the semester starts, and end-terms are after another month. The education facilities are high here, and any doubt can be cleared anytime. A proper and disciplined way of exams is followed. A proper decorum is maintained. Faculty members are quite cool.

Other: Absolutely wonderful fests are organised here.

Is NIT Durgapur a good college?

Placements: I don't know the exact numbers, but placements in ECE and CSE are very good. Maximum placements are offered by Apple with a package of 80 LPA. I don't keep track of the lowest. Most students get placements and internships. Many students who are not placed are not employable. If students keep studying and grinding, then they will get a decent job. If students don't work hard, then they don't get anything.

Infrastructure: Facilities available in the college are okay. I have not faced any issue with college infrastructure except the fact that the Jio network is bad here. Hostels are average. It is averagely clean with average to bad Wi-Fi. Water is always available. But the mess is super bad and unhygienic. It starts well, and by the end of the semester, the food is incredible.

Faculty: Many teachers are good, helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Most of them also respond outside of classes, like on WhatsApp. The course has been updated in all NITs in 2023, and the current curriculum is good. For example, the CS curriculum includes AI, machine learning, and stuff. The semester exams' difficulty level is average.

Other: If students get a good branch, then they can choose this college. I am not saying our college is bad for other branches, but I do not have knowledge about other courses. We can also change the branch, its 50% JEE rank and 50% our CGPA (CGPA must be above or something).

There is a clinic open from 9 to 12 and from 3 to 6.

Faculty: The course curriculum was recently updated. It has a modern and industry-applicable syllabus. Professors in the mechanical department are hardcore and often don't give marks.
