National Institute of Technology, Durgapur (NIT D)

Probably looking at the record, entrance in IIEST is quite tough at this rank. But, you may get admission in mining department. Last year, closing rank for your category in this department was 28098. Closing ranks for all other departments were less than this. As far as NIT, Durgapur is concerned, you may get admission in metallurgy and materials engineering or bio technology branch.

1. NIT Kurukshetra
2. NIT Durgapur
3. NIT Bhopal
4. Jadabpur University.

Hello Aranyo, Placements at NIT's are always better. Production engineering has perhaps wider application than chemical engineering and hence consequent opportunities are more in production. But ultimately it's hard work that counts.

The closing rank for NIT Durgapur Biotechnology for GE Category is 28683. You are recommended to try another option.

Let me tell you one thing, only core NIT's have good placement all other are also fine, but not as good compared to VIT University, because VIT University offers good placements in CSE, IT, ECE branch and as compared to NIT Durgapur. Chemical branch is not up to the marks, because in the end branch does matter, so it is better to take VIT.
