As in every college, there is something that you will not like, but you have to take.

Placements: In my branch this year in 2025, 93.4 % of students got placed in various job roles, with the highest as 25 LPA, average, and median is approximately 9 LPA. Top recruiting companies in the core are JSW, Vedanta, Tata Steel, etc. A few students from my department got internships as well. Top roles offered in the core field and in the noc core as SDE, etc. As most of the students got placed in my branch, it is a good thing when we talk about CSE ECE, they have really good packages this year. 8 students got 80 LPA job offers from Apple India, mainly from the CSE branch.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is well maintained here at NIT Durgapur, I must say, all facilities such as Wi-Fi, labs, classroom, library, and more than what we expect. In my hostel, we got three-seater rooms, but they are spacious and you will definitely love your big room. Washrooms are also well maintained, they keep them clean on a regular basis. Water cooler on each floor, you will have both options for normal water and cold water. Mess food is good, seriously, I personally feel it is good, you can eat it easily. If you are a non-vegetarian, then congrats.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable and definitely they are well-qualified. The course curriculum is relevant, and teachers help us in every aspect. As we talk about semester exams, they are neither easy nor hard if you prepare well, even if you have a few days of exam, you will get a decent score. Pass percentage is, as usual 35%.

Other: I got enrolled in the metallurgical and material engineering branch because my rank was that high only. But I am satisfied with my course, and Durgapur is known for industry, so for our branch, it is a plus point. All things are running smoothly, no need to improve. We have a cultural fest, Aarohan, which is held in the month of October.

My college life and my 4 years.

Placements: In my college, around 885 of students were placed during the placement season, the highest package is 51 LPA till now, and the lowest package is around 10 LPA, the average package is 11 LPA, and the median is 9 LPA. Top companies are Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, etc. Many students also got internship offers. Roles like data analyst, software engineer, software developer, and core companies also give good roles and offers.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure for my course is good. My course is Electrical Engineering, and the department is good. The lab infrastructure is also very good, and the hostel is very good. The mess food is good but very much. In my college, we have a sports complex which is good.

Faculty: First of all, the professors of the college are not that bad, they are good and very helpful towards students. They are approachable and very much supportive of students and for any other reasons also. They try their best on their side to give the best output.

Other: I chose this course because I like it and also because of my rank. This is a pretty good and hard course. Because Electrical Engineering is hard, we have to do our best every day for a bright future.

NIT Durgapur has a really good infrastructure when compared to others, and a decent one.

Placements: So, the placement scene in our college is not extremely good, but it is decent enough, with around 80% of students getting placed every year. The lowest is around 5 LPA always, and the highest varies from time to time, but it is generally near 20-25 LPA. Avg package varies from 8 to 9 LPA.

Infrastructure: Hostel Wi-Fi is decent enough, and so is the hostel. You have to clean and wash your clothes all by yourself, because they charge a lot of money, like literally a lot of money, if you want to give clothes for cleaning. Medical facilities are good, and so are the sports and games. Mess food is too average and not many options are available, actually.

Faculty: Faculty of our college is really good, they are helpful and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is decent, like sometimes you can think Oh, what are they doing. Curriculum is good too. Mid-semester is generally easy. End of semester is a little hard. But pass percentage is kind of good.

Other: Crowd is good, but not the campus life. I chose this course because I wanted Chemical Engineering and got it in JoSAA. About campus life, there are too many restrictions in first year.

Absolutely good and vibrant college life.

Placements: Around 70% students got placed at NIT Durgapur. CSE has the highest offer of 80 LPA, the median is 11 LPA, and the lowest is 7 LPA. Nearly 70% also got internships. Top recruiters include Amazon, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs. Great for placements. Must take admission if you want a good package.

Infrastructure: The hostel at NIT Durgapur is well equipped with all facilities. Mess food is good and hygienic. Laundry service is available on campus. The institute offers excellent sports facilities. Catering to a variety of games and encouraging an active lifestyle. Which is certainly good, but I think you will face some problems in adjusting.

Faculty: Teachers at NIT Durgapur are very helpful, especially the academic dean. The course curriculum is relevant and focused on making students industry-ready. The academic difficulty level is moderate, striking a good balance between learning and challenge.

Other: I chose Civil Engineering because NIT Durgapur has one of the best Civil departments in the country, known for its strong faculty, infrastructure, and industry connections. The course offers a solid foundation and great opportunities for practical learning. The curriculum is well designed, blending theory with hands-on projects. Faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. The department encourages industry internships and research. There are good lab facilities and exposure to real-world civil engineering challenges.

Satisfied with the faculty and worth to join.

Placements: As I am studying in 1st year, I haven't talked with our super seniors completely, but a little bit. But I asked once, and they told me that placements in our college in the last year were terrible compared to other years. The highest is 32 LPA, the lowest is 7 LPA, and the average is 10 LPA. Top recruiters of our college are TCS, Wipro, Capgemini, Cognizant, and Axiom OI. I have no idea about internships. Software engineer, full-stack developer, data scientist, and AI engineer are roles offered in our course.

Infrastructure: We have no Wi-Fi, in addition, we have jammers to block the network. The labs are well-designed and maintained properly. The classrooms are really good with projectors included, a clean board, and nice air flow through windows, it is very comfortable. The library is also good with books. They got more books than any college after Githam.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful to us, and they have nice qualifications and are very friendly when teaching us, and they also help us in the lab practical very well. Our course curriculum is fully relevant, and it does help in making students industry-ready. Semester exams are really tough, but you could pass if you study well. I don't know about the pass percentage.

Other: I chose this course out of pure passion for being a chip designer, and the best thing about our course is the course itself. If the faculty of 1st year goes easy on us in labs, then it would be a great help for us to improve. Events are indeed well maintained. Love the annual day.

The tale of a student - Good infrastructure, average faculties, good placements, good campus life.

Placements: In my college, the percentage scenarios are quite good. If we talk in percentages, there is an 82% placement rate for this year's batch of 2025. The highest package is 58 LPA. The median package varies branch by branch, but overall, it is 12 LPA. On our campus, Microsoft, Apple, etc., companies visit. The internship scenarios are not that good, but if you have skills, you can secure some chances on this.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good, I can say. Hostels, academic buildings, and labs are all fully air-conditioned and maintained, except for some of the labs, like the thermodynamics lab. Other core branch labs may not be that well-maintained, but the academic building is. Some classes in the main building don't have proper facilities. CS and hostels from the 3rd year are not so well maintained, but in the 1st and 2nd year, those are the best.

Faculty: If we talk about curriculum, as I am from MME, courses are upgraded every year. They introduce a new syllabus and subjects every year. About faculty: in the first year, approximately all faculty members are good, but in higher years, some of the professors are really dangerous. They are horrible, some of them, like 1 or 2, the rest are good.
