    Best for Engineering in North East.

    College Infrastructure

    The Institute provides an outstanding infrastructure in most areas but in most old buildings there is need of work to be done. Library , CDAC and innovation lab are built very nicely this are places where you will spend most of your time in summer.

    Academics

    Same curriculum is being followed since 2018. Faculty in the ECE department are one of the best you will get in NIT Silchar . The curriculum is currently heavy but when 2023 batch comes it will be way lighter than the present batch.

    Placements

    The current placement stats here are much better than many NITs and even some IITs. Overall highest placement was 80 LPA, the average placement of ECE department was 17.05 LPA with highest package of 52.8 LPA.

    Value for Money

    The B.Tech course in NIT Silchar is definitely worth it. Its much more affordable compared to many other colleges. Its hostel fees are much cheaper than most NITs still provide a good hostel environment.

    College Infrastructure

    It's somewhere in between good and bad , I mean the internet speed is very slow and the buildings are quite old as well but the library is quite great for study purposes.In conclusion it's okayish for a student

    Academics

    We have classes from 8 am to 6 pm almost everyday which is very annoying. Since we do not get enough time for other activities and the system is very rigid with it's rules so ir becomes very difficult for student to survive this Institute academically.

    Placements

    Placement in my branch is quite good, the placement percentage is also quite good for my branch I.e. electronics and instrumentation engineering branch. A lot of companies come to our institution. In conclusion great placement.

    Others

    Great experience as student except for academic point of view.

    College Infrastructure

    The buildings and infrastructures are quite good, first year rooms are double bedded rooms with enough space for two people. Food sometimes get very bad but that is a case with every hostel, i guess. Overall i would say it is good.

    Academics

    I am studying mechanical engineering in this college, most of the teachers help students in many ways but few are like, they just don't care about you, they will come, take classes and they don't know you.

    Placements

    Placement is quite good in here, in comparison to many nit, i would say it is very very good. My branch mechanical's average placement package is 9.8 lacs ctc per annum. If you are talking about cs(computer science), average is around 18 lpa (ctc) and highest package was 80 lpa, which is very high in comparison any nit . Almost everybody gets placed except those pursuing higher education and some student who like never attends classes.

    Value for Money

    Nit Silchar is a government college, you may already know it, so the fees is quite low. Ok so let me clarify about fee structure in here. For students with family income: (higher than 5 lpa)- around 90000 per semester (in first semester , you have to pay little extra fee, most of that is refundable which you will be returned to after your graduation, this is for everybody.). if family income is between 1 to 5 lpa then around 31000 per semester. for family income less than 1 lpa it is 8000 lpa.

    Campus Life

    Campus is very beautiful, you can be sure that you will enjoy your college life here, there are around 25 lakes in here, but don't gets your hope high, lake are kind of dirty and you are not allowed to enter into them. But the vibe here is very good and you will enjoy roaming around the campus. and yeah, there is a garden attached to our campus ,Tip- Visit the tea garden as earlier in the morning.

    Others

    Overall this college is quite good , it is also increasing the ladder of NIRF ranking every year.I would recommend you come to this college if want like combo of everything, you will have fun in here, you will get a good plament (of course you will have to study for that).

    College Infrastructure

    NIT Silchar offers great infrastructure and facilities. There are 10 boys hostel and 3 girls hostel(One more was proposed to be built). The newer hostels are good and clean but the older ones need some work. The food quality is good except for 1st year hostels(They are trying to improve now). Library is well equipped and is the best structure in NIT Silchar.

    Academics

    Most faculty are good what they teach and care about the students. You will meet some wonderful faculty here supporting you in extracurricular. The Academic work load here is a bit large, but so is the education quality.

    Placements

    The average placement package this year was 14.39 LPA with highest being 80+ LPA from CSA. The overall placement percentage is about 89 percent. Placement of branches like Mechanical and Civil has also been very appealing this year.

    Value for Money

    The 4 year course here is definitely value for money compared many other NITs, with one of the lowest hostel fees.

    Campus Life

    You will really enjoy the campus life here. In summer, you might sometime regret but the solution is there in library. The green and blue view of the campus. Student life here is pretty enjoyable with so many fests and events to attend.

    Placements

    Compared to many NITs the placement here is pretty good with an overall placement percentage of 89%. The highest package this year has been recorded to be 80+ LPA. Average package is still somewhat moderate at 14.39 LPA.

    Value for Money

    The course costs approx ₹1.8L per year. But scholarships are provided according to income . The course is value for money if you are getting scholarships or your income is less than 1L.

    NIT Silchar has one of the best infrastructure as compared to other NITs. Campus is spread over 625 acres with about 19 lakes, tea garden , a big auditorium, cricket ground, 10 boys' hostels and 3 girls' hostels. We have Asia's biggest digital library. PG hostels are available for first year boys.

    Academics

    First year is common semester for all the departments where everyone needs to study the same course and at the end of the year the top scoring students get a chance to change their branch if they want. We have regular classes as well as Tutorial classes for problem-solving .The teachers are interactive as well as supportive and the teaching method is appropriate for most of the teachers. There are few teachers who are a little ignorant , but overall the environment is very friendly..

    Placements

    The placement scenario is very good . The training and placement cell is responsible for the bringing in more companies. Most of the students are placed in IT companies but for core companies competition is very high. In CSE almost 100% of students get placement with an average package of 10LPA.

    Have a question related to NIT Silchar ?

    Is it worth to get admitted for cse branch at nit silchar

    If you're considering a CSE branch at NIT Silchar, know that it's generally considered a good choice, especially if you prioritize placements. CSE consistently boasts high placement rates, often close to 100%, with top companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs recruiting, and impressive salary packages.

    You'll also find a strong coding culture, supportive seniors, and a picturesque, green campus with numerous clubs and activities beyond academics. However, be mindful that Silchar is a remote location with potential connectivity issues, and some NIT SILCHAR REVIEWS suggest that while the faculty are generally supportive, the curriculum might be outdated in some aspects.

    Hostel facilities and mess food is also good here While the overall experience is positive, these factors are important to consider before making your final decision.

    Hello Aspirant

    Unfortunately It is too difficult to get admission in core branch with 79.75 percentile in JEE main.

    However you are in OBC-NCL.

    If you're from Assam (HS): You might get Mechanical or Civil through CSAB special rounds, but not core branches.


    I scored 96.556 percentile in jee mains 2025. I am from Assam. Will I get admission in nit silchar

    Great job on scoring 96.556 percentile in JEE Mains 2025

    Expected AIR : ~37,700
    You have good chances for:

    • ECE, EE, Mechanical, Civil (under Home State quota)

    • CSE might be difficult in General category, but easier if you're OBC/SC/ST
