THIS BLOG IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO TAKE ADMISSION IN SOME NIT BUT ARE CONFUSED ABOUT WHICH NIT TO TAKE.......I DONT KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER NITs BUT I CAN TELL YOU EVERY THING ABOUT NIT DURGAPUR OR NIT DGP........
INFRASTRUCTURE- buildings are very very old.....academic building although it is big but it dont even look like it is of NIT, it looks like it has never been painted, their are no ACs in the computer lab or in library and not even in the administrative building,classrooms are very very old ....walls look like they are painted with chalks....fans in the classrooms are from late 50s.....their are no audio speakers in the class rooms so if you are planning to sit on the last bench drop that idea,hostels are okay but in first year they keep five students in a single room which can hardly accomodate three,first year students will probably get hall 9,physics lab is okay but not so good looking wise,chemistry lab is clearly a municipal dustbin,electrical labs are good,mechanical drawing labs are good,workshops are not so good but are having every instruement,there are two play grounds lords and oval both are big but oval is bigger than lords,bathrooms in the hostel are regularly cleaned,ECE and CSE have nice departments ,biotech has no separate department of its own it has been given a small space in the academic building.....
RAGGING- ragging is the only thing which is best in this college ....i think this college must be ranked one in ragging....after 5-6 days you will be caught buy your seniors while you go to academics, library or outside, they will just ask your name and your place and sometimes your phone numbers and then leave you ,they will assure you that their is nothing like ragging in this college,they will act as your friends,they will tell you about advantages of interacting with your seniors,before going further i would like to tell you that their is zone system in NIT DGP like bengal zone,rajasthan zone, bihar zone,UP zone .....you will be giving ragging to seniors of your zones only......after few weeks your zone seniors will start to call(zone calls) you to their rooms and tell their fake names so that you are not able to complain ,they will just ask you to fill few water bottles in the beginning....they will ask you to make zone lists of all the first year syudents from that state(like UP students for UP zone)........they will tell you to meet all the seniors of their zones..........also their will be an option for ebery student whether you want to give ragging (zone in) or not(zone out).........if you are zone out then you are free from ragging .........zone out students are teased by zone in students.......they are treated like inferior citizens..........till oct you will be mostly ragged by second year students and it is the good phase of ragging...but after durga puja holidays you will enter the hell phase of ragging.......you will be asked to come along with all your zone mates(mass calls)......every new face will get atleast 10-15 slaps......you will be asked to clean rooms,wash utensils and clothes ,send to railways counters to get reservation of your seniors(ofcourse they will give you reservation money+bus fare+extra money)........by december you will be getting atleast 10-20 slaps per day........you will not get time to study........sometimes even you have to do a night out in seniors room.....after first semester you will enter the hell in a hell phase of ragging......now your per day slaps count will raise to 50-60 tight slaps .....now most of the ragging will be taken by you third year and final year students.......weekends will become hell to you......you will love to be in class........it will be around when you will be freeed ............you will get a huge freshers by your seniors in some three star hotel.......you will now enjoy your freedom............you will then forget all your slaps......
3.FACULTY----teachers teaching in first year are horrible,mostly they are doing m.tech and know nothing(mr. venkanna was the worst)........when you will get in department then you will get very good faculty.......electrical and mechanical has best faculty........
4.MESS FOOD- mess food is terrible for north indians......there are food stalls outside the campus.......most of the time students eat there,food delivery is also available inside the campus by private canteens.........
5.SIGHT SEEING AND HANGING AROUND-there are many malls, clubs and restraunt in the city....kolkata is 160km away from durgapur..........120km away is digha beach.......
