NIT Durgapur Reviews & Ratings 2026 – Authentic Student Feedback

Admission: The teachers know their stuff, but not all of them try hard to help us understand. Some just go through the slides without really caring. The course hasn't changed in 20 years, so it's not very up-to-date with what's happening in the industry. You have to work extra to stay relevant. The exams are easy, with light workloads. You can even study for them in the last week. Almost everyone passes without a problem.

Placement: I'm an ECE student and our college is great for IT placements. Big companies like Microsoft and Goldman Sachs hire students from here. We also get chances for hardware and consulting roles. Most IT companies coming to campus let ECE students participate in placements. Some companies focus on hardware, but they pay less. The placement process usually includes an online test, technical interview, and HR interview.

Campus: The medical facilities are just okay. Sometimes they don't have all the medicines, so you have to buy them elsewhere. Sometimes the doctors aren't around or aren't great. Mess food is nice, but it can vary depending on which hall you're in. If you're hungry, there are lots of places to eat within a 2 km radius of the campus. The sports facilities are cool. Each hostel has a volleyball and badminton court. Plus, we've got two big playgrounds for cricket and football called Lords and Ovals.

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful and know their stuff well. They're qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching is good. Durgapur is great for finding core jobs since it's an industrial area. Exams can be tough, especially the end-term ones, but the mid-terms are more manageable. Most students pass, with about 80% success rate.

Placement: In our year, we have 190 students in our course. The average salary package is 11 LPA. Companies like Bajaj and PWC come for recruitment.

Campus: The hostels have Wi-Fi, but the classrooms don't. However, the computer lab has Wi-Fi. During exams, the library stays open longer. The classrooms and some labs have AC, which is nice.

Campus: The college has everything you need like Wi-Fi, labs, and a library. The place looks great and is always clean. The food in the mess is good, but they only offer three meals. In the first year, the girls' hostel doesn't have a lot of variety, though.

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful and easy to reach when you need help. Some teachers could be better, though. I'm doing B.Tech in Mathematics and Computing, which is a great course for today's competitive job market. It's not too hard to find internships and jobs with just basic knowledge. The semester exams are fair, and you just need a GPA above 5 to pass.

They serve three meals a day. Each room in the hostel fits 3 people. First-year students get their own separate hostels.

Admission: The professors here are super qualified and really helpful. They teach in a way that's easy to understand. The courses are spot on for training us to be great engineers. But man, the exams are tough! You need at least 35% to pass theory and 50% for the practical lab exams.

Placement: I'm in the ECE department, and I gotta say, this batch is top-notch. The placement rate is impressive - over 95%! The highest salary offered is 60 LPA, with an average of 20 LPA and the lowest at 8 LPA. About half of us snag internships too. Big names like Microsoft, Reliance, and Tata show up for campus placements. It's a great place to be for sure!

Campus: Each branch has its own department on campus. We get free Wi-Fi 24/7, and there are digital classrooms too. The Central Library is huge and awesome for students. We have 17 hostels, and mine is really nice with free Wi-Fi and great food. There are also two big sports grounds with lots of equipment provided by the college. Love the sports facilities here!

Admission: The curriculum got a refresh in 2023 and it's much better now. I met some really nice and helpful faculty members, but there are also some who aren't that great and aren't liked by many students. The important thing is that all the teachers are qualified. Even though the curriculum changed, learning about ecology and engineering graphics in the first year for non-mechanical students feels like a waste of time. The semester exams are kinda tough, but not impossible. The pass rate is okay.

Campus: The campus facilities are really good. The hostels are top-notch, especially for first and second-year students. The new academic building, main academic building, and department buildings are all great. The Wi-Fi is okay, not the best though. The labs are well-equipped but kinda old and need some fixing up. Classrooms are awesome, with good air conditioning, and the library is cool too. The hostel rooms are really nice. The food in the mess varies a lot in quality, though.

Admission: Some teachers here aren't very friendly or helpful. They know their stuff, but they don't always explain it well. The classes are decent but could be better. The tests are not too hard. If you study hard, you can get good grades.

Placement: I'm a junior studying Chemical Engineering. Companies like L&T, Reliance, HPCL, BPCL, and PwC hire students from our department. So far, 53% of us have already got jobs. Internship options are a bit limited, though.

Campus: The Wi-Fi in the department is there, but students can't use it. If you use Jio, you might struggle with the network inside. The labs and classes are just okay, nothing special. The hostel has Wi-Fi though. The food in the mess isn't great. There are some games you can play in the hostel too.
