We get to experience a campus designed to support innovation, learning, and holistic growth.

Faculty: Teachers are amazing and qualified. Their behaviour towards students is also good. Most of the teachers are PhD holders. The course curriculum is relevant, and due to AI and other technological advancements, it is going to be relevant. Exams are always difficult, but we have to study consistently to pass. Around 90 percent of students pass the semester exams.

Supportive faculty, good events, and the best placements for CSE students.

Faculty: A good academic environment with helpful faculty and manageable exams. The curriculum is solid but could be more industry-oriented. Exams are moderately difficult. If you attend classes and study consistently, scoring good marks is manageable. Evaluation is fair, though it can feel strict in some subjects.

The college provides good infrastructure and facilities for students.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified pass-outs, professors from IITs and NITs. They will teach you in such a manner that if you are fully focused in class, you just need a quick review before semester exams. However, they teach very fast, which becomes quite difficult for newly learning batches; it was for me as well. In addition to these courses, additional courses are also required to become industry-ready, which you have to practice on your own, such as VLSI for ECE students. The semester exa...

Take admission only if you have money constraints, unless you avoid it.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and they try to help you to the best of their ability, they have decent knowledge in their subjects on a scale of 10, I would rate it 7. The course is relevant with an updated curriculum, but for the new courses like AIML, there is a shortage of good faculty members. It makes us industry-ready. The semester exams are not that tough, one with a basic course idea, and common sense can pass the exams easily. The pass percentage can be 85%-80%.

My advice is to do admission anywhere else but not here.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful but the old teachers are not friendly with the students. Teachers only focused on completing the syllabus, nothing else. Semester exams are not that much good because the exam department doesn't care about the student's results.

NIST University - The place for leaders.

Faculty: A better exam is conducted at NIST University. The exam mode is very strict, no one can cheat. For those who will cheat, there is strict action taken for them. The exam pattern has been improved as earlier, and can get a moderate paper. Pass percentage is 90%. Highly qualified teachers with vast knowledge are present here.

I am dissatisfied with the faculty members.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified. Their teaching is good but sometimes they lack understanding. The course curriculum is relevant but they need to focus more on knowledge and skills. Semester exams are a bit hard and sometimes questions are twisted but it is okay. The pass percentage is 35%. They have good knowledge. There are good teachers. Some teachers have personality issues but overall, teaching is good.

I love this college. It is better than my expectations.

Faculty: Faculty members are too good. They are more than friends. Many faculty members come to NIST after doing PhD from IITs and NITs. Their teaching qualities are also good. Courses are also industry-friendly. For Exam POV, I will give it 5 stars. 3 types of Exams are conducted here that are internals, mid-semester, and end-semester exams.

Faculty: Faculty members are good but don't mess with them. The teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is good. It does students ready for the industry. Exams here are very strict. To pass, you have to score 18 in the end semester and 40 in the subject, including the mid-sem and end-sem.

NIST University: A place to make your dreams come true.

Faculty: Faculty members are good. They listen to us and help to solve our problems. The teaching quality is good as all professors are Ph.D. holders from IITs or NITs. The course curriculum is relevant to market trends and helps students become industry-ready. I can't say exams are difficult as it depends on students how they perform.

The only difference which the BTech degree from NIST and from other universities is the placement and companies that visit the universities. Nowadays, every college teaches the same, but the jobs the students get differ based on ranking.
