NIT Raipur Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

College infrastructure is neat but the inside of main administrative building is kind of puzzling to find the classrooms. Classrooms are average to good with smart boards or projectors installed. Labs are mostly efficient in all the required materials during practicals. Hostels are there for both boys and girls. 24/7 WiFi facility is available for the students of institute.

Quality of teaching varies from faculty to faculty. But every one of them are diligent in teaching the students about the subject. Course curriculum does not review changes but still has the relevance.

Placements have been going good in the department. However, core companies are still not visiting the campus for recruitment. All the students placed, are with knowledge of programming and hence IT companies recruit them.

Course fee is relatively low in the institute. Course fee is 5.52 Lacs for the B.Tech. course. Institute offers both the facility and its name to the students. NITs has its own reputation in the country in the engineering industry.

Central Computer Centre (CCC) is the pride of the institute. Hostels are not capable of accommodating all the students and hence most of them reside outside the campus privately. Clubs and committees are so many in the institute.

Infrastructure is plain average. Classroom is big with projectors installed. Labs have both new and old machines and circuitry. Library has a reading room for students to study. Hostels are scarce as compared to number of students. WiFi connectivity spans all over the campus. Canteen is renovated. Store in the campus for daily requirements and basic stationery. Separate football and cricket grounds along with basketball and badminton courts.

I am in the Electrical department of the college. In the first year, all the teachers used to focus on theoretical teaching i.e. doing a lot of writing work. New curriculum has been introduced in 2019. Students go on to participate in mass bunks occasionally. Sometimes teachers are unable to complete the syllabus in time and hence students have to prepare the left ones by themselves.

Recent placement was better than previous years. Highest package offered in EE was 14 LPA. Average package was found to be near 6 LPA. Nearly every student get the placement opportunity in IT, Software, Business Analyst etc. Core companies offer jobs to few candidates.

I got a facilitation of fee concession due to my family's income. Total fee that need to be covered in 4 years of the B.Tech. engineering course is 5.52 Lacs. Students with poor financial background get a concession in fees by providing the income certificate of the annual family income. Scholarships are also available for students of backward castes.

Faculties are experienced with their respective subjects and have been teaching for a long time. Particularly for my department, some of the faculties may not be able to make the subjects interesting but still put their heart in teaching the students. Curriculum is updated according to the recent industry requirements.

Placement drive in the department is not one of the best in the college. Highest package offered in the college is 32 lakhs to the CSE department.

I am currently pursuing B.Tech in Biotechnology. I chose this field because I had an underlying interest in biology and this course enticingly incorporates engineering and biology. Most faculties pay a lot of attention to the academics of each and every student. Some faculties may fail to make the subjects interesting, or even understandable. Curriculum wise, it tends to get updated but not so often. Sadly it does not include all the recent developments in the field.

Quality of placements in the college is average. Percentage placement is never 100. It ranges from 60-70% which includes both core and non-core placements.
