Good college as a NIT and good placement +.

Infrastructure: NIT Silchar EE department has decent labs and LAN access, but classrooms lack modern facilities, and teaching quality varies. However, hostel life is vibrant and enjoyable with good mess food, clean rooms, friendly environment, and making campus life memorable.

NIT Silchar has a large, green campus with average placements and a good atmosphere.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are very large, and the hostel rooms are much better than those in other colleges. There are a total of 9 boys' hostels and 4 girls' hostels. The boys-to-girls ratio is also very good, with 85% of boys having a girl. The hostel facilities are excellent, and the food served is far better than in most IITs.

My review about this college.

Infrastructure: Course is pretty good and has a lot of focus on practical learning. Every semester, there are 2-3 laboratories of 2 credits each. The institute has taken many research initiatives and has a separate research and innovation cell for these activities. I have opted for and been allotted a hostel since the first year. I got a hostel room which was initially for PG students, so the rooms are great. I got a double room in the 1st year. The rooms and facilities are excellent. Mess food is compensable. ...

A student perspective on NIT Silchar.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure in our college are good as I have completed almost 2 and half years. Wi-Fi works fine. In the lab, most of the desktops are not working. We cannot do most of the lab experiments. We have to do it on our laptops. If I say about hostel accommodation, it is a little difficult. 2nd and 3rd year students stay in the hostel. If you score less CGPA, there will be 3 students in each room instead of 2 students. The mess food is decent for me. The rest things are decent.

My review of this college.

Infrastructure: I have opted for a hostel which is compulsory in our college. I share my hostel room with a fellow colleague of mine. Rooms are quiet with a 24-hour electricity supply. There is a bed, a table, a chair, a wardrobe, and a balcony in the room. The lighting condition is also quite good. The hostel rent is Rs. 15,000 per semester.

Infrastructure: NIT Silchar has the largest library in Asia, and the classrooms and labs are being modernized. The Wi-Fi speed is quite good in all academic areas, although it only works in the hostel lanes. The classrooms are in a very peaceful location where students enjoy studying and exploring.

NIT Silchar is good in placements and campus life. City life is poor, that's all.

Infrastructure: Facilities of the hostel and the infrastructure of the Electronics and Instrumentation branch are very good, even EI is known as the coolest branch of NIT Silchar. The food quality of the hostel is above average. Canteen is good but a little bit cheaper, and vegetarians may face problems.

Decent placement ratio in 2025.

Infrastructure: All classes are digital classrooms. Labs are decent. My department is very good, with enough instruments available for experiments. The Wi-Fi provided by the library is good. However, we have LAN in the hostel, and we don't have a Wi-Fi connection. The mess food is average. There is a medical dispensary right next to the girls' hostel. The sports facilities are also good.

This is my short review of my campus, NIT Silchar.

Infrastructure: They provide excellent Wi-Fi, lab, and classroom facilities along with good freedom, but hostels are a bit average. Hostels are built like those from the 80s and 90s, which makes your room feel old. Until the fourth year, you don’t get any privacy in your room as only triple-sharing rooms are allotted.
