I am satisfied. It is good value for money, peaceful, with fewer activities but good for research.
Placements: Our college has a 100% placement rate. There were 37 students in the fourth year, and all of those who wanted placement got placed. Some of them even got placed in their home state as they wanted just a salary package, which varies from 5 LPA to 8 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of NDRI is quite amazing. It is spread over 1300 acres and has a large number of livestock. It is full of greenery and quite peaceful. Even as you open the gate of your hostel room, you directly walk into grass. Classrooms are digital and labs are quite advanced.
Faculty: Teachers here are very knowledgeable. All of them here are scientists or assistant professors. It is deemed that's why exam questions are made by them and checked by them only, so sometimes you just know all the questions that will come. There is one disadvantage. If you mess with any of your course teachers, then they can fail you and you will not be able to do anything.
Other: Students outside of their domicile get scholarships of up to Rs. 3000 per month for bachelor's degrees, and Rs. 5000 and Rs. 12000 for master's and Ph.D. degrees, respectively. Fests are quite rare here, and activities are also few. They mostly focus on studies. You can do B.Tech here and you will get 144,000 RS as a scholarship.
