Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2022

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Satisfied with staff members.

Placements: About 20% of students have been placed in this course. The highest package is 15 LPA. The average package is 10 LPA, and the lowest package is 8 LPA. Top recruiting companies are consulting firms like Deloitte, Accenture, and KPMG, as well as Google, Apple, and Microsoft. All the students got internships. Top roles offered are market analysis and financial advisory.

Infrastructure: The university covers an area of 15 acres. The building is well-designed and maintained. The classrooms are designed with 4.0 teaching technology and also provide Wi-Fi facilities in every class and hall. The hostel also provides good facilities like fresh food, gym, Wi-Fi, etc.

Faculty: The teachers are supportive and qualified. The teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is also relevant and makes the students ready to work in companies and industries. The semester exams are easy to pass, and the pass percentage is 40% in each subject.

Other: I opt for this course because I want to enhance my skills in marketing and chart analysis. The campus also organizes fests and extracurricular activities. The campus is crowded enough, and the surrounding is also a learning environment.

B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering - Batch of 2028

4Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Good college as a NIT and good placement +.

Placements: In EE at NIT Silchar, around 87% of students got placed. The highest package this year is 44 LPA, offered by Amazon. While core placements are moderate, many students secured good roles in tech and software companies. EE graduates from NIT Silchar secure roles in power systems, embedded systems, automation, software development, data analysis, IT services, consulting, electronics design, and core electrical companies like L&T and Schneider.

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.

Faculty: NIT Silchar follows a semester system with continuous assessment through quizzes, mid and end-term exams. EE curriculum includes theory, labs, and projects. Teachers are knowledgeable but teaching quality varies across subjects. Relatively grading at NIT Silchar does exist, but its impact is limited some students report that although the institute uses relatively grading, the presence of high-performing peers (toppers) often makes the system functional similar to absolute grading. Here's how CGPA matters, to be eligible for branch change (if it's allowed), you generally need around 8.0+ CGPA, for popular branches like CSE/ECE, top students often score 8.8-9.1+.

Other: I chose EE at NIT Silchar for its core value, career scope, and NIT tag. Campus life is peaceful, and hostel life is enjoyable with LAN and friendly peers. Though academics can be tough and classrooms average. Overall, experience is enriching.

M.Sc. in Chemistry - Batch of 2025

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

My review about this college.

Placements: Placement opportunities at NIT Silchar are one of the best among the colleges in North East India. Though other NITs provide excellent placement and job opportunities, NIT Silchar lags behind because of its geographical constraints. The companies visiting the college also provide internship opportunities. Companies like Lupin and Ranbaxy come for recruitment with an average package of around 5 LPA to 6 LPA, and the highest package is 65 LPA. After M.Sc. in Chemistry, you are eligible for a job in any pharmaceutical industry. Just send them your resume, pass the interview, and job done.

Infrastructure: College faculty is very good and interested in learning. The chemistry lab is also in campus, which is very clean, and there are many chemical products that help in learning more about it. Exams are also held on campus and are subjected to classes. There are 9 hostels for boys in this college and 3 hostels for girls. The hostel infrastructure is good. Mess facilities, TV room, sports room, and good spacious rooms are there. And it is also very cheap. There are single rooms, double rooms, and triple rooms. There are 10 hostels on our campus.

Faculty: Faculty of the college consists of Professors, Associate Professors, and Assistant Professors, with a minimum qualification of Ph.D. They are recruited after grounds of interview and are among the best in their field. The faculty of NIT Silchar is highly experienced, engaged in some good research work, and are student-friendly. They understand us. They always want to remain connected to students. Exams are held in semester system. Each semester is of six months. Exams are held twice in a year, and a project is given in the first three semesters to each student, which is guided by their faculty members.

My review about this college.

Placements: In terms of placement and job opportunities, we are ascending every year. Each year, we call around 150-200 companies to visit our campus. By the first half of the placement season, we managed to get around 60% of eligible candidates placed. Every year, we have some new companies added to our list of recruiters with some exciting offers, apart from our past recruiters. Some big companies like Brain and Company, Deloitte, KPMG, and Embibe have hired students from our college with an average package of 6 LPA to 8 LPA.

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. The water supply is also perfect, and bathrooms and toilets are cleaned daily.

Faculty: Faculty is very much qualified, 90% of professors, assistant professors, and associate professors are Ph.D. holders and have completed many research papers. They are well aware of the courses, and the course design is also very good. Every time I got study material easily. They are also very interactive; you can contact them anytime, anywhere. Overall, the teaching standard is good now. Faculty is helpful for every student in the issue of learning and they make us improve ourselves. The course duration is 2 years. Exams are conducted two times in a semester, and between those exams, there will be two minor class tests, mid-semister, class test, and end-semester exams.

My review of this college.

Placements: The placement scenario is decent. More than 90% of students participating in the placement process get a job. It is specifically good for CSE students who landed multiple jobs with good packages. Major recruiters are Goldman Sachs, Medlife, Microsoft, Mu Sigma, Deloitte, John Dheere, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, ABB, LNT, and various PSUs. The TNP cell of the college provides summer internships for 1-2 month duration. Mostly, internships are in PSUs and some companies like Tata. Stipend internships are given only to CSE students. But we can apply ourselves for internships with a stipend.

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.

Faculty: Faculty members are good and helpful. They are very knowledgeable and everyone did their PhD in their respective fields. They explain our doubts clearly. They explain everything and we can ask them any question without any fear. They are very friendly. There are two major exams in a semester. One is mid-semester carrying 30 marks and one end-semester carrying 50 marks. The rest 20 marks are internal out of which 10 are given on a class test and the rest 10 on assignments and attendance. Exam pressure is really not a lot. The course curriculum is good as it gives us a chance to know our interests if we have not known them yet. The first-year course contains all subjects like civil, mechanical, CS electrical, and electronics.

Placement and college life of NIT Silchar.

Placements: The top 20 students in civil engineering are selected for placement at L&T; however, due to Covid, only about 4 to 5 have been placed. Most students from all engineering branches secure positions in their respective fields, but only a few reputable IT companies participate in the placement process and recruit candidates.

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.

Faculty: Civil Engineering has the top facilities in terms of knowledge and experience in theoretical and practical as well. I just enjoyed the whole classes of civil engineering. Practice like surveying and soil-related are very knowledgeable and helpful in higher studies.
