My review of NIT Silchar.

Placements: Placements are good and many of the students are placed in well-reputed companies and have a good package as well. There is a placement cell which helps students prepare for interviews, guides them to build a professional resume, and brings good companies to the campus. Almost 90 percent of the eligible students are placed and working in very reputed Companies. Companies include Genpact, TCS, Mahindra, Infosys, Wipro, Deloitte, Amazon, etc., visit the campus. Packages vary from 1.5 LPA to 8 LPA ...

NIT Silchar has been the best 4-year experience more than what I expected before joining.

Placements: The previous academic year had very impactful results in placements as well as in the internship rate for the CSE department. Referring to the Training & Placement brochure, the placement rate was 84% for my department, which also disclosed the following. The highest package was 60 LPA, the lowest package was 3 LPA, and the average package was 15–19 LPA. Current recruiting partners are Microsoft, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, AWS, Cisco, Deloitte, Accenture, Commvault, HP, Infosys, ICICI Bank, ZS Assoc...

I suggest pursuing this course from this institute.

Placements: Very few students were placed from this institute. The highest package offered was 15 LPA, and the average package was 10 LPA. The top recruiting companies were Deloitte, Apple, Google, Accenture, etc. Most of the students from our institute got internship opportunities. The major roles offered were Financial Advisory and Market Analysis.

Beautiful college with good faculty, nice people of Assam, zero ragging, and good sports facilities.

Placements: I don't have an idea about how many students get placed, but it is more than 85 percent in electrical engineering, as they go to the core sector and the non-core sector. I do not have an idea about the highest and the lowest packages. Top recruiting companies for our course are Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Infosys, and Cognizant. I do not have an idea about internships. My course students become electrical engineers, and if they go to non-core sectors, then they can become software engineers.

My review about this college.

Placements: There is a placement cell which invites a lot of companies and firms for job opportunities. There are also opportunities for those who are willing to be an entrepreneur because students and the college also organize many times of hands-on workshops, research projects, and internships, as well as eminent scientists and professors talk to encourage students. So many companies come to recruit people. Internship fairs are organized by the placement cell of our college, and they recruit students from...

Fees are lower compared to other NITs.

Placements: Placement of our college is really amazing as compared to all the NITs in India. As this year is 2025, the highest placement stood at 96 LPA from the mechanical engineering department, which is really a great thing. Also, the average placement of our college is 13 LPA, which is really good.
