NIT Durgapur - A place that always stays with you.

Faculty: Faculty members of the college are extremely helpful, especially for ECE. The course covers all aspects an ECE engineer should know, and is exclusive to the GATE syllabus. Semester exams are moderately difficult, but one can ace them if studied sincerely.

Overall, it has good infrastructure, nice professors, and improving placements each year.

Faculty: The course curriculum of the CSE course is decent. Most companies ask questions from our CSE core subjects. So it is relevant. But in 1st year, it is filled with useless subjects. Some teachers go out of the curriculum and teach what is relevant. Some teachers are boring, like if we can understand what they taught, then it is good, or else it is not. Especially in the Electrical department, teachers are very strict like old school. Their teaching style is superb. They will teach better than the ...

The college is good. There is a platform to meet like-minded people and to learn new things.

Faculty: Teachers are good and qualified. The course curriculum is a little bit outdated, but it's not a big issue, and it's okay. Exams are also not very hectic, and they are medium. Students also score 10 CGPA in their exams. The pass percentage is good. Many students pass the semester exams without much difficulty. Semesters can feel hectic when departmental studies start. Students might face challenges in managing time and studies, but eventually everything works out in the end.

It has a good infrastructure, but not the best.

Faculty: Faculty members from my branch are among the best. They are qualified and are doing many research projects at present. There are so many opportunities to work with them that are open from the 2nd year. Semester exams are a little bit stressful, obviously, as they are engineering-related. If someone studies regularly, then scoring good marks will be easy. Every professor in the mechanical department is highly qualified, but there is stress in studying in this branch.

It is an institute amidst the popular factories.

Faculty: Midterms are held a month after the semester starts, and end-terms are after another month. The education facilities are high here, and any doubt can be cleared anytime. A proper and disciplined way of exams is followed. A proper decorum is maintained. Faculty members are quite cool.

Is NIT Durgapur a good college?

Faculty: Many teachers are good, helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Most of them also respond outside of classes, like on WhatsApp. The course has been updated in all NITs in 2023, and the current curriculum is good. For example, the CS curriculum includes AI, machine learning, and stuff. The semester exams' difficulty level is average.

Quick review of NIT Durgapur.

Faculty: The course curriculum was recently updated. It has a modern and industry-applicable syllabus. Professors in the mechanical department are hardcore and often don't give marks. They are very strict. Exams are standard and might vary in difficulty. Most professors are kind and enthusiastic about their subject.

It is better than expected.

Faculty: The course curriculum of mechanical engineering is good, and it has been updated this year to make it better. Here, in exams, there is an absolute grade system, which is not updated. Faculty members for mechanical engineering are mixed, as some are really good, but a few are very strict. There is ego in a few professors. Overall, in mechanical engineering, there is more pressure than in other branches.

Good college with good peers, good placements, but we need to do hard work as well.

Faculty: Professors are well-qualified. In some branches, like ECE, professors are very chill. In some other branches, teachers are pretty rude and strict. Some teachers are very good in terms of delivering knowledge. I am in my first year, so the course contains basics of engineering. Semester exams are moderate.

NIT Durgapur is good for placements.

Faculty: Professors are very good and highly skilled. They are good in behaviour. They are in various projects to improve our country. They are really very good. The syllabus is good. Not large, not small, but difficult. Exams are held in a restricted environment, and no cheating is allowed. There are 3-4 guards in one small room, and the coordinator visits the room 2- 3 times.

It is a good college if students run out of options.

Faculty: Semester exams are good. They give plenty of time for studying for end-semester exams. The main thing here is the updation of CGPA. They won't let us update our CGPA if our mid-semester marks are changed after the paper distribution. Overall, the teaching of subjects is relevant.

Campus life is very vibrant due to various events and festivals.

Faculty: Faculty members are extremely educated and teach using both chalkboard and a projector. There are class assessments, projects and practicals. The course curriculum is kind of updated, including AI and machine learning. It makes students industry-ready. 75% attendance is compulsory. The toughness of semester exams depends on the subject. Few subjects are moderate few are tough. 35 out of 100 marks in each subject is considered to be passed.
