Review of NIT Durgapur - National Institute of Technology.
Placements: Currently, out of 20 pupils, 4 have been placed via on-campus placements in various ed-tech companies like Sri Chaitanya, C. V. Raman Academy, etc. Still, some other companies such as FIITJEE and others are yet to come. The highest package offered was of 6.5 LPA. Generally, teaching jobs have been offered, and there is a bond of minimum 2 years in each case.
Infrastructure: AC classrooms with projectors and sound systems along with Wi-Fi. Library has adequate books. Hostels are little bit old-fashioned but single rooms are provided. Mess food is of average quality. Medical facilities are provided every day both at emergency and outdoor.
Faculty: Teachers try to put their level best to encourage students. Some are good but others are below average. Course is a little bit old-fashioned and bulk. Only two specializations exist, optoelectronics and condensed matter, and they are not industry-friendly in most cases. Semester exams are easy to pass because questions are asked only from class notes. Essential qualification to obtain an M.Sc. degree is to score a GPA of 5.0 on a 10 point scale.
Other: Several tech fests and cultural fests, such as Aarohan, Vistar, etc., are organized throughout the year by the student governing body. Religious festivals like Onam, Eid, Ram Navami, Makar Sankranti are observed with proper dignity. The campus is near the vibrant city center of Durgapur, so anyone can access any metropolitan amenities whenever they want to.

The campus life is really enjoyable. There should be better sports facilities.
Placements: Well, to be honest, I will say that because we admitted to M.Sc. Physics course most of us are interested in Ph.D. There are only 17 students are present in our batch. In the 1st year of course three of our batch mate got Net Jrf and around 10-12 students are focusing on Net. Rest 2-3 are intended to seat in place meant and out of three one got Akash Byjus and other are trying to be placed. For M.Sc. course only educational companies are coming. The average package is about 9lpa.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure are really good as compared to other NITs. Whole campus is under Wi-Fi and CCTV. As per my knowledge labs are highly equipped with advanced machines. For classroom there is a separate building call New academic building. For B.Tech students hostel facility are god but there are several restrictions for them. But for M.Tech and M.Sc. Students there are no restriction in Hostel. Well, sports facilities are not that good. There are two big grounds and a indoor stadium but me personally is not satisfied with the facility. There is a Gym centre also.
Faculty: Well, teachers are highly qualified, helpful and knowledgeable. Well, I don't know about other subjects but for M.Sc. course the course curriculum is really relevant for further studies like Ph.D. Semester exams are not that difficult. If you attend every class then you will easily get 7 CGPA.
Other: I was interested in Physics. Just there should be a central lab facility. Events happen at regular interval.

It is a great place for M.Sc physics.
Placements: There were not many placements available for masters in pure science. Most of the students of our batch opted for Ph.D. or further studies. Some were even taking coaching for exams CSIR, NET, GATE, or even for IELETS or GRE, etc. I heard about JEE coaching coming to campus, but that did not happen in our batch. The campus placements were 0% for the particular course, and around 25% of students were selected for Ph.D. Internships were available for everyone if students want to do one.
Infrastructure: It was good for an M.Sc. physics student. The batch was smaller, and ours was 13 as compared to other NITs. The student-teacher ratio was 1:1. So students get to know everyone and every professor will know them, which increases the efficiency. The classroom was small but good as it was a national institute. There were seminar rooms and many laboratories in the department, but optoelectronics and condensed matter laboratories were great. Better than nuclear laboratories were not many facilities available. Wi-Fi was fully available. The library was good. Besides the central library, there was a departmental library from where students can borrow books and keep them for a semester. The hostel was good. There were 3 sharing rooms, but students will find 2 people in most of them i.e now single rooms may be allotted due to corona. Food quality was best for the price. Students will be never disappointed with the food, after some months students will be fed-up with the same. But students can opt for other canteens as they had to pay on daily basis for food. In pre-covid time, it was Rs 100 per day for 3 times food. Medical, sports, games, gym, etc., were also available.
Faculty: Teachers were helpful and highly qualified. They were knowledgeable except for very few numbers. Students will get the reason as well if they join, but it was not the place to discuss that aspect. The course curriculum was extremely relevant and much helpful, specifically, if students were appearing in any national level exams for Ph.D. it's gonna help students a lot. Semester exams were moderate. They ask what they weree taught and some problems. The pass percentage was more than 95%. But the only thing they strictly follow was attendance. One of our batchmates was fired as he has less than 50% of attendance.
Other: The cost was low, if students compare to other NITs, it was almost half. I wish there would more research exposure to other areas. There were many fests generally four fests in a year, which always happen in even semesters. The campus will make students fall in love with it. Here students get the freedom to do what they want and they promote a wide range of extracurricular activities from dancing, singing, acting, learning musical instruments to sports.

Faculty members are amazing. The campus is well-maintained and provides good security.
Placements: Placements in our college are very good for B.Tech and M.Tech students. But it is not available for M.Sc students. It is not only here, but all over India. However, a good institution that will help you to qualify NET in which you may go to a lectureship. Besides, qualifying NET exams, GATE exam, JEST, etc., and it is always the best option for M.Sc. students. You may appear in BARC and ISRO etc. and get a job there. An internship is a good option. You may opt for it at any institution all over India and also outside. The college has also collaborated with many nation institution and CSIR lab. You may visit our college website for placement details.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is awesome. The campus is spread over 250 acres. The campus is lush green and cool with heavenly buildings. The academic blocks are awesome. The library is equipped with many books. There are 14 hostels inside the campus, and M.Sc. students are allotted hall9 for boys and hall10 for girls. The food served is more than average, and you will enjoy it.
Faculty: Faculty members in our college are very good. Ther are well-educated and well-behaved. M.Sc. physics department has 12 professors and assistant professors. Many of them are foreign PhD holders, and they published a lot of papers in different journals. Labs are well-maintained. The course curriculum is average, and syllabus is in national level entrance patterns. The way of teaching is good, and it is more based on understanding than memorising.
Other: The college organises three fests in a year. They are Aarohan as techno-management fest and Avuskar as another tech fest in which you can do projects and show your innovative talent. There is an annual cultural fest named Recstacy, in which popular bands and singers from all over India performs. Even bands like Linkin Park also visited here to perform. The campus crowd is less. The connectivity is 1 km away from the city centre bus stand and 8 km away from the railway station. The college doesn't provide any scholarships to students, and you may go for an external one.

Masters Life at NIT DGP, good faculty, good environment, good campus life, and great infrastructure.
Placements: Talking about placement opportunities in my course, most of the students prefer to go for research or a PhD, so the placement record for my course is low, with the highest peak almost 10 to 12 LPA and an average of 6 LPA. The companies are all EdTech companies.
Infrastructure: The course is very good; even the facilities given to us are impressive. The classroom structure of the department is very good, like we have all the basic amenities we need. About the hostel, the room is also very good; we got single rooms, and it has enough space so one student can stay very sufficiently. We got a study table, a chair, a bed, a wardrobe, and different racks. The food in the mess is also good; I would not say the best, but it is good and better if I compare it with other hostels or other NITs for our course.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful; they are very knowledgeable, having decades of experience in the field of teaching and research. All the teachers come from different domains, so our department consists of more than one faculty in every field of physics. The strength of faculty is also good; the faculty-to-student ratio is almost 1:2, and sometimes it's even 1:1. They are all knowledgeable persons, and the quality of teachers is very good. They use new kinds of teaching methods so we can understand properly. The course curriculum is very relevant and also helps students who are targeting a PhD so that they can clear NET and GATE. It is not so difficult to pass the semester exam in the college; almost every year, the pass percentage is 100%, and maintaining a good CGPA is not a big deal; you can do it.
Other: The reason why I chose this course is very simple: the curriculum is very relevant to what I will do. The best thing is that in this institute, you will get good friends, good connections, good professors, and good knowledge. The campus has a good environment with greenery and a study atmosphere. In short, you can learn so many things here. Talking about the events and interests, within two or three months, we organized some events and fests like that.
