NITR, A best foundation for your career.
Placements: Placements were not upto the mark abdksnansndhsjns nbsbsbsnd bbdhdbsbdbdbd bsbsnksksbsb snsjshsbnaiw hsjskqj software jobs and companies came in a lot in number. Core companies were a bit low. Packages were comparatively better than most of the colleges .
Infrastructure: Hostel life is very good as compared to most of the colleges in the country. As I already said, medical, sports, were good enough. Food was good but for the students who comes from south, for them it will he a problem at the beginning as the spicy and salt was less. Social interaction was good.
Faculty: Teaching quality was good. Not all the professors seems to be interactive, but a few were more interactive towards students. Pass percentage was 35% as usual but the academic circullum will be comparatively hectic, but it will be easy for a student inside the campus.
