National Institute of Technology B.Tech Review By Shalini Singh

Well let's start with my experience. My Institute life is somewhat fun, more on the lazier side because I don't participate much in events. For someone who loves socializing, my Institute will satisfy your thrust. We have a lot of exposure. The cultural diversity among students and teachers is amazing. Multiple events are conducted on monthly basis. We have a lot of clubs and committees. Anyone one can join and learn to work as a team here. The academics are also good.

I am perusing engineering but my Institute also provides degrees in architecture, math, geology, masters in physics and chemistry. To get admission in my Institute, one first has to clear an examination called JEE (joint entrance exam). Then you need to enter the counseling round where you will then fill your preferred Institute along with the branches offered. The algorithm will assign you one of the Institutes according to your rank in JEE. Everyone who is giving 12th exam, given 12th a year before or 2 years back is eligible for JEE. NITs are one of the most prestigious engineering Institutes in the country. Its degree definitely holds some potential.

Well I can't say much about the other branches, but in my branch the faculties are absolutely great. I mean they have experience of about 25-30 years. It’s not like they have stopped learning, they still study, and research and it's all just inspiring to see. I personally prefer to sit and listen to all their stories and experiences.

We do have a placement club and yes, it helps the students. This club is supervised by two very experienced professors and is mostly managed by the 3rd and 4th year students for the branch.

We do have residential facilities but the seats are very limited and it's very annoying. I only got to live in hostel for 1 year and let me tell you despite the limited facilities it was best time I had. The infrastructure is fine, the Wi-Fi works great and the food is edible so I guess we can work on that.

The infrastructure at National Institute of Technology, Raipur is good. Yes, there can be improvement in its look. We have separate building for B.Tech and another building for branch classes. We have two meet gardens, a gym, cricket / football field, a basketball court, a tennis court, etc. There's another sports complex that is under construction.

Well I already told you about the campus life and clubs. Let me elaborate on the fest. We have minor events happening on monthly basis but, we have some major events like eclectika, the cultural event, Avartan, the technical event, Samar, the sports event and all these are interesting Institute events for students.
