Hello
Tarun
, From some research on Internet I found that Mechanical Engineering (M.E.) is one of the best branch in NIT Durgapur because the studies and placement both are good in that branch and the highest placement was also from Mechanical.

Hope it will be helpful for you :)

Dear aspirant,

Nit dgp in chemical has strong placements(if you are considering placements stats) .If your home state is west bengal ,then it is beneficial for you to join nit dgp as if you want you can get higher branch also.

But if you are from other state then look into your state nit( if it is better than nit dgp only) or else you can peacefully take chemical at nit dgp.
