I am satisfied with the things I am getting in my college. Especially for the placements.

Placements: In my college, there are ample placement opportunities for Mechanical Department students. Most companies, such as Oil India Limited, L&T, and TCS, recruit here. The average package is between 10 and 12 LPA, which is good for new engineering graduates. All final-year students are actively seeking jobs.

Infrastructure: Our departments, library, classrooms, and labs have good infrastructure. The Wi-Fi system offers 24/7 service. Hostel facilities are also decent, and for sports and games, there is a football turf, a volleyball court, and a gymnasium with all the necessary equipment. The mess food is quite okay—not particularly good or bad.

Faculty: Our faculty members are well-informed and educated. They graduated from various colleges, including IIT Guwahati and IIT Bombay, among others. They possess strong teaching skills. The semester exams are easy if any student attends classes regularly. Teachers assign presentations.

Other: I have chosen mechanical engineering as my ambition is in aeronautics and aircraft design. If more instructors were available for our software learning or structural design, it would be more beneficial. Our college hosts mainly two events: one is RACAF (college fest) and the other is SYNERGY (sports event). We enjoy them a lot. E

Improvement is required in every aspect.

Placements: The minimum placement package starts from 3 LPA and the maximum goes up to 6 LPA as of today, i.e., 03/02/2025. The highest package is around 9 LPA offered by Oil India and other PSUs. The placement packages range from 3 LPA to 9 LPA. About 50% of the students from my course get placed. To be eligible for placements students should not have any active backlogs. The top recruiting companies include Oil India, L&T, Vikas Group, Reliance and others.

Infrastructure: The department building is good and there is a Wi-Fi facility along with the library. It has a clean environment both inside and outside. There is no Wi-Fi connection in the labs and classrooms. The infrastructure is average and not very impressive and cleanliness needs to be maintained. This should be addressed by the administration. The mess in the hostel is the worst with no hygiene maintained. The canteen is decent offering a variety of food items including fast food. Sports and games facilities are well equipped with a turf ground, badminton court, basketball court and more.

Faculty: Teachers are generally helpful, but some are arrogant and biased, making them less supportive of students. Although all the faculty members are well-qualified, they need to improve their teaching skills to be more effective in the classroom. When it comes to practical knowledge, the teaching curriculum does not meet expectations, so students often seek practical training during the summer. Exams are not very difficult to pass, but due to poor teaching that some students find hard to understand, teachers should be more considerate while checking papers. The passing percentage is 34 out of 100.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in engineering. However, sometimes I feel that I chose the wrong university. The teaching skills of the faculty need improvement, and the classroom environment could be better. There are too many events in the college that disrupt student life and affect the hostel atmosphere. These events also lead to campus overcrowding with too many outsiders entering the premises. Connectivity needs improvement as well. Scholarships are provided by every state for students whose family income is less than 2.5 LPA.

Strong faculty, Industry- Relevant Curriculum, Vibrant Campus.

Placements: 60 percent of students were placed from my department. The highest package offered in my department was 1,200,000 LPA, and the lowest package was 300,000 LPA. The average package was above 400,000 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Tata Projects, L&T, and Vedanta.

Infrastructure: Most departments are equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi to ensure seamless internet connectivity for research. Classrooms are typically equipped with multimedia facilities like projectors and smart boards. University libraries usually have a wide range of textbooks.

Faculty: Our college has dedicated faculty who are approachable and willing to assist students. The faculty are typically well-qualified, with many holding advanced degrees (Masters or Ph.D.) in their respective fields. Our college has two exams: one mid-semester and one end-semester.

Other: The batch I am referring to consists of those who joined the course in 2021 and will graduate in 2025. I chose this course because of a strong interest in mechanical engineering coupled with a desire to pursue a career in the automotive industry.

NERIST pros and cons. Hidden behind the hills of Northeast.

Placements: The placements are average. The average per annum incomes which our college gives range from 3 LPA to 9 LPA. Many known companies do come, like L&T, TATA Projects, Vedanta, OIL India Ltd. Unknown small companies also come for non-technical posts. Otherwise, you can prepare well for GATE and get better placements.

Infrastructure: Academic blocks and classroom infrastructure are average. You won't find broken tables and chairs in classrooms. However, hostels are the worst here. Every single room will either have broken windows or broken walls, and some have water leaks too. Even the electricity wiring is very bad; the way they have done the wiring in the hostel is so bad that it can't take heavy loads, and during summer, there is always the problem of electricity overloading. Drinking water supply is very bad, both in the hostel and academic blocks. The tube lights and bulbs we have to buy by ourselves.

Faculty: The teachers here are very good and have good knowledge. Unlike other institutes, our teachers are very engaging and frank with us students. They are open-minded and love to interact with us. They teach the concepts very well and try to make sure that we have understood the concept well. The exams are also quite good. The questions you get here make sure that you have understood the concept properly in the classroom.

Other: NEIRST has lots of events and other extracurricular activities. RACAF is a yearly college event which will help you showcase your talents in singing, dancing, photography, drawing, arts, and so many things. It's an event where you can make your hobbies better or explore other new hobbies. Then there is SHRISTI, a technical fest where you can apply your engineering knowledge and aptitude knowledge to solve puzzles and participate in various events like Robo Wars.

Infrastructure: Our college is under the central government. The infrastructure of our college is good. Our college provides all necessary facilities like smart classrooms, Wi-Fi, air conditioners, speakers, etc. All the modern equipment is available in labs. The infrastructure of the hostel is a bit old and needs some renovation. The mess food has a good value for money.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful. They always help us with our studies. Our institute is a deemed university, and it is easy and convenient to get from our respective course coordinators regarding subject and exam matters. The course curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready, as it is well-prepared by UGC. Semester exams are moderate. Students can pass if they study a few days before exams. The pass percentage is 90%.

Other: I opted for this course because I have an interest in mechanical engineering. I cracked the entrance exam and got mechanical engineering. Our new course is good and vast. Our college hosts the Sonabyss festival, which is the largest cultural event in our state.

Enjoyed NERIST life with good faculty members but with a certain amount of hardship and sacrifice.

Placements: Around 33% of the students got placed. Maximum CTC was 3.6 LPA. Mostly IT companies visited our campus for recruitment. Only Bosch visited our campus for recruitment in the field of core mechanical engineering. Placement in the core mechanical/civil engineering jobs is very poor. Students prepare for GATE and try to get into good colleges for M.Tech.

Infrastructure: Labs have all the equipment necessary to carry out experiments as part of the curriculum, but they are not well maintained. Most of them are out of working condition. Classrooms are unhygienic. Mess and dining hall are also unhygienic. Medical facilities are not good. Most of the time, the health centre remains closed as the doctors practice privately.

Faculty: Teachers were well qualified and very supportive. Classes were conducted regularly, and the way of explanation was pretty good. The course curriculum was also good but lagged in certain areas to make the student's industry-ready. Practical classes were not conducted regularly.
