Guru Nanak Institute of Technology B.Tech Review By Ujan Ghosh

Until now, my experience In GNIT has been quite nice. I am currently in my second year in 4th semester, one of the reason why I chose to study here is because of its ROI (isn’t that high) and its location. It is pretty close from my place thus; my travelling time gets reduced by a lot which helps me manage other activities of mine. Now coming to the college scenario, it has got quite a chilled out scenario unless you get into the bad books of the faculty members. Though the curriculum followed is an old one, people here focus more on the conventional study rather than focusing on the skill set. If you are looking for an institution which is going to prepare you for competitive exams, GNIT would be your best choice. In case you are looking for something practical and want to build your skill set, then don't consider coming here. One of the plus points is you get to build a strong social network and the seniors are very helpful.

The course in which I am enrolled in is bachelors of technology in information technology. The eligibility criterion for the course isn’t that much. For admission through WBJEE counselling you rank needs to be somewhere around 20-30k, there is also an option of direct admission for which you need to provide a copy of your 10th and 12th mark sheets, stating that you have scored more than 70 percent in both.

The faculty members are the people who make the college feel better. Most of them have their Masters and Ph.Ds. Each member has a unique approach towards teaching, though a few still opt for the conventional way of jotting down stuff on the board and then going for explanation. The faculty members are very helpful, be it in academics or anything regarding life, they give the best advice. I run a cyber security club in GNIT, and for all the events we have conducted, we have got constant support from our faculty members and professors. They always push us "to be the best and stand out from the rest”.

Our college has one building, it isn’t exactly the best but it does the job. Most of the labs have air conditioning and are equipped with the best machines. Though if you enter the CSE department, I bet you will be in awe, they have got the best labs, infrastructure, and classrooms. The place looks more like a corporate office. Except CSE, no other departments have got this kind of infrastructure. About the infrastructure of the other departments, well they are not like CSE but they have workable conditions. Our college provides us with all the basic amenities like water cooler, a clean washroom, and stationary shops inside the building.

GNIT has a vibrant crowd. Throughout the year we have 2 major fests; one is the cultural fest and another is the tech fest. Excluding these, each department gets to conduct their own tech fests. This year the scenario has been a bit different, because of the upcoming elections we won't be having our tech fest. GNIT always encourages its student to work on their talent be it in academics or anything other than academics.
