National Institute of Technology B.Tech Review By Arjun Dhaniya

Overall review of institute is very good and the feel of greenery and the view it provides are also very beautiful. The institute is situated in mountains in remote location. The campus is really beautiful. The academics are really great here. Suitable workshops for electronics and mechanical department are also organised here. The placement stats of this college are also very nice.

The academics in NIT Hamirpur are at a good level as it is not very tough and it provides you enough time to develop different skills in other fields. Various extracurricular activities are also conducted in the college. The academics after first year are to be taken relatively serious. The highest rated courses here are CSE, DCS, MNC, ECE, DEC, EE, Mechanical, and Material Science. The eligibility directly depended on JEE MAINS score. The motive for me to come here is to get connected to nature and also because of engineering spirit. The motive for me to enroll in current program was research opportunities that were provided to the students.

The faculties for first year are mostly Ph.D scholars and associate professors and they are really passionate about teaching. Sometimes they are hard to tolerate. The faculty members in the labs are very helpful and co-operative.

Placements were really good last year as the disclosed data is that DCS has the highest package of 121 lakh CTC off campus, whereas core branches have been doing really well as. IT is flourishing as usual. The major companies that visit the campus and recruited students are Accenture, Bloomberg, Ashok Leyland, Oracle, L&T, Maruti Suzuki, Infosys, JP Morgan, Reliance, JSW, and many more.

Hostel life in NIT Hamirpur is quite adventurous and is full of surprises as it is located on a completely remote place and there is forest attached with the NIT so it gives the vibes of living in the wild. Hostel for first year boys is Kailash boy’s hostel and it located on very inside of NIT campus and the hostel is in great condition. In the starting of first year there are lot of rules and regulations and so you might feel homesick but in second year you become a free bull. The hostel life is very great as many festivals and occasions are celebrated here. All the rooms are provided with active LAN-Wi-Fi connections with RJ45 cords and Jio-Fi is also available that provides high speed internet.

This NIT is also called best for its infrastructure and I see no reason for it to be not. The campus is beautiful and has a sight to behold. The college has 2 main gates called Gate1 and Gate2. Gate 1 is used for all the official works and Gate 2 is also used for official works but we can say that GATE1 is face of NIT and first year is allowed to go out only through GATE1. Gate 1 has a grocery shop and a cafe, after that you walk the road and visit the faculty rooms and after that there is a Shiva Mandir in way and after that there are Ambika Girl’s Hostel and Parvati Girl’s Hostel. Both are girl’s hostels and after that director and faculty residence, student park and administration block are also present in the campus. The central block and administration block are facing each other and after that comes Electrical Engineering Department. Lecture Hall, Electronics Department, Library, Auditorium, Kailash Boys Hostel, Hiteshi Shop, 4h Café, Vindhayachal Hostel, Shivalik Hostel, Manimahesh Hostel, Aravali Hostel, Satpura Hostel, and Neelkanth Boys Hostel are also present in the campus. A Student Activity Centre and various sports are also available in the college for the students.

The campus life is extremely great for those who want to stay in mountains and want to experience nature and don't mind staying in college every day. There are certain restrictions in college as Night out is not allowed but if you don't want that then it is a peaceful remote place with average crowd. The cultural fest called HILLFAIR is organised here in final week of October and it was crowded by student’s faculties and other guests and it was crowded like a fair but was sophisticated. In the starting of first year the students are protected under anti ragging policies and this is to make sure no one gets harassed and this is why a lot of restrictions are made here.
