NIT Durgapur All Questions

Hi,

Congratulations on being eligible for admission to these two reputed colleges. Both are excellent choices and thus, I can understand your confusion.

Jadavpur University is a state university but fares better in the National Ranking(NIRF all India 9th rank in engineering). The tuition fees is very less(around 3k per year) and the placements happen all throughout the year unlike in other colleges where it occurs only for 2-3 weeks. You get a lot of support if you're interested in research or for higher studies in top institutions in India and abroad. Being in the city of Kolkata, it would provide more opportunities too.

Faculty is good enough in both places and placement are also more or less the same. Jadavpur is slightly better for placements in the core sector. The fees at NIT Durgapur is around 75k per year and since it's a NIT, you can find students from all across the country there.

Your top priority must be your interest for the course and factors like placements, fees etc. Do not blindly go for the NIT tag. Choose the course which you are more inclined towards, as you have to spend 4 years atleast doing it.

All the best!

Hi Bipasha! 

Greetings! 

Go for NIT Durgapur.

Reason 1.

Unlike Calcutta University you will be assured of a good placement at the end of 4 yrs as the first batch of 4 yr Btech hast graduated from CU so…nothing can be said about placements

Reason 2

.Being an NIT..Its overall popularity in the field of Technology is much better than Calcutta University which is mainly a multidisciplinary university primarily known for courses like pure science,Law,arts,etc and. not primarily focused on a certain course like engineering…and the 4 yr Btech curriculum is fairly new.

Reason 3.

Exposure as a student of an NIT is moreEnvironment and marking scheme will be better at NIT Durgapur as here at CU…getting good marks is tough and the environment lacks enthusiasm and energy…If you are interested in Chemical then you can think otherwise…otherthan than that…..Go for NIT Durgapur…as here at CU the course is new and nothing is guaranteed.

Reason 4 .

You can aslo slide your stream from mechanical later after 1st yr at NIT DGP. So chances are you could end up getting ECE or CSE there too.

Please upvote if this was helpful to you. 

Thank you and good luck. 

Frankly speaking if we follow the last few years trend,then the answer is a clear no. And since the cutoffs will increase thisyear since there has been an increase in demand for IIESTs and NITs I don’t think it will be possible for you to take admission in either of these good colleges.

Hello,

If you are a home state student, then you can get nit durgapur(ee,mech,ece,met,civ,chem). But there are no chances if you are a outer state student. But with this rank you will easily get nits like nit sikkim,manipur,mizoram and other lower ranked nits.
