College Infrastructure

This college has good infrastructure and all necessary things. Among other new nits, this nit has a permanent campus and developing at a very faster rate. But one disadvantage is there is no single tree in whole campus.

Overall it is comfortable life here with plenty of time left

As a new NIT that got started on 2009 and just moved to permanent campus 3 years ago the college infrastructure development is next level. Labs, classrooms and hostels are there - most new NITs don't have permanent campus. Sports facilities are improving starting from volleyball, basketball and badminton.

I got 146 marks in jee main..can I get cse in nit puduchery ?

Hello Aryan,

Considering you as a general category student and you can avail the home state then you would surely get the computer science branch there but if you are not from home state quota you won't be able to get cse in nit puducherry as the seats are less and it closes by 6k rank .

In the home state quota the cse cut off goes till 32-33k so you can easily get this if you belong to the home state. However cut offs depends on certain factors such as number of candidates appearing in the examination, previous year cutoffs, and difficulty level of the paper.
