National Institute of Technology B.Tech Review By Neha Saha

The campus is temporary and located in a remote place which has pros and cons. If you want a distraction free environment then this is a best option for you but if you have travel sickness then don't opt for this as it takes 4 hrs from Siliguri in car or bus to reach here and there is no other option. All branches are good except the civil branch. As the batch strength is low. Teachers focus on every student and are very supportive in terms of internship. There is not much coding environment but seniors and teachers will guide you for internships and placements. But it is quite difficult to adjust in Sikkim's environment as it is too cold in nov-feb time and also a lot of rainfall in rainy season and also problem of leeches and insects which you might have never seen in your life. But at the end, it teaches you to be tough. So, if you want adventurous college life, you can opt for this. But better would be you take another year drop and prepare or go for other colleges in cities.

Overall teachers are very supportive and teach well in class. All the branches are good except the Civil Branch and CSE have lack of teachers. Mechanical Branch teachers are very good and cover all topics well. It is quite hard to score above 9 CGPA here, but not impossible. The teachers will not only support you but also guide you with internships and placement. If you are a Bengali then plus point for you as 90 percent teachers are Bengali.

In my branch, i.e., mechanical all the teachers are supportive, tough, and some are strict. Till second year you are strictly required to maintain 75℅ attendance in all subjects although there are some teachers who give you relaxation. All teachers are pass outs from NITs and IITs and are well experienced and friendly.

Placements for CSE, ECE, and EEE are very good. In 2023 highest placement was from EEE of 44 lakh from NVIDIA. ME placement is also good and most of the students in ME get a PPO. CE placement is not up to the mark.

Boy’s hostel is very good but girl’s hostel is very congested. Also, a lot of insects may enter your room so be prepared for that.

As it is a temporary campus, the building is also temporary. It is located in a very remote place and there is only one restaurant named khacho in front of campus where you will get some good food but a bit costly. Market is also very far away to get basic everyday needs. You have to order everything online which takes about 5-7 days to come. Zomato or swiggy is not available here and taxi fair for market is also very high.

If you are from plains, it will be difficult for you to adjust here and it will take a lot of time to adjust. Some people quit and end up leaving the college but if you sustain, it will be one of the memorable experiences for your life. The campus life and seniors are very good and ragging is almost negligible.
