I believe you should lock whatever you get at NIT Raipur , as there are not many universities, GFTIs and NITs going for an additional round post CSAB Round 2. The Classes and Induction processes are scheduled to begin by December 1st. Secondly, NIT Raipur itself is a good technical institute with good infrastructure, faculty and placements.
Hello Student,
Placements for Chemical branch are good here. Around 70% of the students got placed last year. The highest salary package offered was around 9 LPA whereas the lowest salary package offered was around 5.5 LPA. Companies like Reliance Industries, Vedanta, Ambuja Cement, and several other software companies visited the college in the past few years for placements.
Hope this helps.
