My review about this college.
Placements: There is a placement cell which invites a lot of companies and firms for job opportunities. There are also opportunities for those who are willing to be an entrepreneur because students and the college also organize many times of hands-on workshops, research projects, and internships, as well as eminent scientists and professors talk to encourage students. So many companies come to recruit people. Internship fairs are organized by the placement cell of our college, and they recruit students from all courses. Packages vary from company to company, maximum being 12 LPA, and minimum 4 LPA.
Infrastructure: Hostel infrastructure is different for different hostels. There are 9 hostels for boys in this college and 3 hostels for girls. Mess and canteens are present in every college and have a quite amount of seats, so every student can sit here at one time and eat. Bathrooms are present in sufficient amount. You don't need to take tension for infrastructure.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly educated and experienced as well. There are a lot of senior faculty members. Junior faculty members have also joined in recent times. We like the teaching of some and don't like the teaching of some others, just like any other college. They are always there to clear any type of your doubt. They also motivate every student to do well. They are also carrying out their research work. Many have bagged prestigious awards for their research works. Exams are semester based, two semesters per year. Examination fees are also to be submitted online. The exams were taught also. The course curriculum is good in this college. We study different subjects every semester. We almost cover every part of Physics in the whole course. Practicals are the part we are even more serious about. We love that.

Fees are lower compared to other NITs.
Placements: Placement of our college is really amazing as compared to all the NITs in India. As this year is 2025, the highest placement stood at 96 LPA from the mechanical engineering department, which is really a great thing. Also, the average placement of our college is 13 LPA, which is really good.
Infrastructure: I really loved the playgrounds, as these are huge, and also the inter-branch competition, which is held every year, is very exciting. The hostel facilities are quite good. The mess food is average but adjustable. There is 24/7 internet, no issue with that. The bathroom is well furnished, and housekeeping is really good. They come every morning and clean the staff. Classrooms are spacious and digitally updated. The library is good, and it is open for 24 hours. There are many grounds for different sports.
Faculty: The faculty members are very cooperative. Professors can speak fluent English, so there are no language barriers among students and faculty. They are well educated and well disciplined. The course curriculum is one of the best in the world, as there are many things that other colleges don't implement, but our college does. The world-class course curriculum is the reason for the success of many students who have studied here.

The college and the surroundings are also very good.
Placements: In the B.Tech Mechanical Engineering course, around 75–80 percent of students get placed in the latest placement drive. The highest package offered is around 18 LPA. The lowest is 4 LPA. The average package is nearly 7 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Tata Motors, Mahindra, L&T, JSW, Cummins, Vedanta, Infosys, Wipro, and TCS. Nearly 60 percent of students receive internships, with companies like Tata Steel, JSW, IOCL, HPCL, and L&T offering good opportunities. Top roles offered are Graduate Engineer Trainee (GET), Design Engineer, and Production Engineer.
Infrastructure: The campus is beautiful, surrounded by greenery and lakes. This gives a calm and refreshing vibe even during stressful exam weeks. The infrastructure is pretty good. It includes well maintained hostels, labs, and sports facilities. The Wi-Fi sometimes tests your patience, but that is part of the fun here.
Faculty: In Mechanical Engineering, there are five teachers from the top 2% of the world who joined two months ago. The course curriculum is relevant, and we do labs that help us adapt to the industry. The exams for Mechanical Engineering students are very tough. We have to be able to handle complex computations on our own. Academically, the college provides a decent environment for learning. Some professors are truly inspiring and supportive. While others might make you question your life choices during lectures. Still, the overall academic culture encourages teamwork, innovation, and curiosity.
Other: Our batch is a mix of tech enthusiasts, gamers, and night owls. They somehow manage to finish assignments right before the deadline. We are balancing chain breaks with project submissions. It creates memories that last longer than our sleep schedules. NIT Silchar provides one of the most vibrant college experiences.

Satisfied with the placement record in the last 3 years.
Placements: As I am from the CSE batch, my college has a good placement record overall and a better one in the CSE branch. In my course, nearly 70 per cent were placed, and the highest package was 55 LPA in 2025 and an average package of over 15 LPA in CSE. Oracle, Tata, and Atlantis are top recruiters. Some students also got placed at Amazon and Microsoft. Over 40-50 per cent of students have internship opportunities. Data scientists and data engineers are the top roles offered during placement.
Infrastructure: NIT Silchar was built on a total of 625 acres. A nature-rich campus with more than 20 lakes and 2-3 gardens. Classrooms are digitalised. The infrastructure for the CSE course is good, labs are well managed, and a LAN (Ethernet) is provided to every hostel room. Hostel maintenance is above average, and there are 9 boys' hostels and 4 girls' hostels. Food quality is good, and our college has a good sports management team. We have a dispensary clinic in the college itself.
Faculty: Every teacher is well qualified. They have good knowledge about the subject. They were helpful for exam purposes. Their notes were very valuable. NIT curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready. Curriculum is improved according to upcoming technology changes. The semester exams' difficulty level is medium to hard. The pass percentage is 85-90 every semester.
Other: I chose this course because I had an interest from the beginning, and this college is good, especially in CSE. I wish there could be more change in the curriculum of 1st year students. Campus fests and events are good. We have a technical fest in the odd sem and a cultural fest in the even sem.

Good college as a NIT and good placement +.
Placements: In EE at NIT Silchar, around 87% of students got placed. The highest package this year is 44 LPA, offered by Amazon. While core placements are moderate, many students secured good roles in tech and software companies. EE graduates from NIT Silchar secure roles in power systems, embedded systems, automation, software development, data analysis, IT services, consulting, electronics design, and core electrical companies like L&T and Schneider.
Infrastructure: NIT Silchar EE department has decent labs and LAN access, but classrooms lack modern facilities, and teaching quality varies. However, hostel life is vibrant and enjoyable with good mess food, clean rooms, friendly environment, and making campus life memorable.
Faculty: NIT Silchar follows a semester system with continuous assessment through quizzes, mid and end-term exams. EE curriculum includes theory, labs, and projects. Teachers are knowledgeable but teaching quality varies across subjects. Relatively grading at NIT Silchar does exist, but its impact is limited some students report that although the institute uses relatively grading, the presence of high-performing peers (toppers) often makes the system functional similar to absolute grading. Here's how CGPA matters, to be eligible for branch change (if it's allowed), you generally need around 8.0+ CGPA, for popular branches like CSE/ECE, top students often score 8.8-9.1+.
Other: I chose EE at NIT Silchar for its core value, career scope, and NIT tag. Campus life is peaceful, and hostel life is enjoyable with LAN and friendly peers. Though academics can be tough and classrooms average. Overall, experience is enriching.

Q:   Which college would be better for MBA placement-wise: NIT-Silchar or Tezpur University?
A: 
Hardly the rank matters as it totally depends upon the candidate which one to choose depending upon certain assets ! The infrastructure is growing UPAT a rapid pace & all these structures are combined with modern facility & techniques. Even the faculty members & staffs are far more educated with their ambient patience & dedication & ready to help at any period of time. Even if I say about the Placement, this NIT is providing more than 70% of campusing every year & its increasing. Previously the communication was to be a issue. But now it all past by since the broad gauge is going to hit our state soon. Every NIT has its TAG line with it. NIT SILCHAR is also a very reputed College in this North East. Heard about TEZPUR university, one of the emerging engineering institute. By far, its the choice of an individual. Choose wisely ! Afterall It will be a nice decision if you choose North East, you will be finding out different cultures, tribes, etc. , etc. & foremost the loyal & cool friends like us !
