This is a very unique course; you will enjoy this college

Infrastructure: Labs are well-equipped with instruments. All sorts of competitions happen, and workshops on robotics, AutoCAD, etc., also take place. The hostel rooms are small, and we have double-sharing rooms, as well as triple and single-sharing rooms. Hostel is compulsory for everyone. The library is accessible throughout the day. Other facilities include a medical store, hospital, swimming pool, gym, student activity center, data center, etc. We have a lot of fests all throughout the year.

Come join this amazing college.

Infrastructure: Coming to classroom facilities, there are two lecture halls. Every classroom has 2 air conditioners. Room is allotted to two people. There is a facility that you can select your roommate. In the hostel room, you will be given a table and a chair and two charging points. Coming to the mess, the food quality is good but bad in taste. Fee for room is 5000 per semester and 20000 for mess.

Very good college, top NIT college.

Infrastructure: The hostel infrastructure is good. There are many facilities like a gym, reading room, night and day canteen, book shop, badminton court, sports, everything. But the mess food is quite disappointing for me. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus with CCTV security. There are many cafeterias, restaurants, and malls inside the campus. There are many grounds for different sports. Classrooms are spacious and digitally updated. The library is good, and it is open 24 hours.

Infrastructure: Our course gets a lot of support from the available facilities. We have a central library, Wi-Fi, and digital classrooms, which really help. The hostels are quite good, and the food, whether from the mess or the canteen, tastes nice. Plus, there is a multi-sports complex too.

The closing rank for general category in M.Sc Chemistry was around 787.

You rank is actually very close to the cutoff.

You may receive a seat in 2nd round or 3rd round as it might change across the rounds when seats freed.

Congratulations on your excellent rank and all the best.
