The BTech program offered at NIT Kurukshetra is considered to be one of the best in India. The institute offers Btech in a number of fields including IT. Here, IT is equivalent to CSE, so students who fail to make it to the CS branch have a good backup option. The placements are spectacular for almost all the branches. Students having even a basic knowledge of C++ get placed. Here are the exact placement stats of the NIT Kurukshetra BTech program

During NIT Kurukshetra Placements 2023, the highest package was bagged by a BTech student of the Electrical Engineering branch. The highest salary offered was INR 1.25 CPA while the highest number of students were placed from the B.Tech Mechanical Engineering batch.

NIT Kurukshetra girls hostel messes serve good food. As a North Indian, I find the meals quite satisfactory.

Students from the South may find some difficulty in adjusting to the taste. Non vegetarians are also displeased because the mess only serves vegetarian dishes.

The menu is decided by 6 students of a mess committee. They try to include a variety of dishes, keeping in mind the diversity. The menu is repeated weekly. 

During winters, the breakfast mostly comprises Paratha. Potatoes are always included in the dinner, and the chapatis have excessive flour. Except for these few things, I don’t have much to complain about the mess food.

Now the good parts- The food is fresh, healthy and hygienic. Your meals will include lentils, vegetables and milk products. You’ll be served dessert at dinner almost each day. Dessert can be Ice-cream (generally 2 days a week), Custard, Kheer or Gulab Jamun. For breakfast you’ll get one thing or the other among these- Paratha, Sandwich, Pav bhaji, Poha and the like. Lunch and Dinner are nice and simple. You can get Dosa for dinner. If there's a meal that the students don’t like, the mess committee changes it. 

The mess food is overall nice at NIT Kurukshetra girls hostel. You’ll get used to the taste and start liking it after a while.

One of my friends at NIT Kurukshetra shared his experience while pursuing a BTech in ECE. The initial month was frustrating owing to the miserable mess of food and the language barrier he faced being a South Indian. In the second year, however, he realized that there was more to college life than just food. He discovered some very interesting subjects that fuelled his interest in the field. The third year again brought in some outdated courses however, he held up by exploring the areas of VLSI and Embedded systems.

Additionally, around 5 fests are held in one academic year comprising 3 cultural and 2 technical. These fests are organized by various clubs and societies of the college. You will experience real college life only after participating in and organizing these clubs. So, set your priorities right and make the most of the college life at NIT Kurukshetra. 

No, it's impossible to get any branch at NIT Kurukshetra with a rank of 65k even under the Home State Quota as a general category student. The least preferred branch Production and Industrial Engineering closed at 45351 this year. So it's not possible to get into with a rank of 65k. Other options you can consider instead include, the YMCA, Faridabad. Other options to consider with your rank are

Hope this helps!

I am a fresher at NIT Kurukshetra, residing in H2 boys hostel. I will describe the condition of boys hostels at NIT Kurukshetra using my limited knowledge-

1. Freshers are allotted 3 seater rooms which are small and old.
2. H1, H2 and H3 hostels do not have Wifi facilities. Instead they have WLAN which is useful only if you have a laptop or a router.
3. The student committee of each hostel decides the menu. It is a good thing that the choice of meals is handled by the students themselves.
4. Overall the hostels are great. They have open grounds where you can play sports like tt, chess, badminton, volleyball, etc., given that you arrange the required equipment.
5. You can watch tv till 10 pm in the common rooms. You can also read newspapers over there.
6. During 1st month, freshers can only travel to their classes and back. This is done to ensure that there is no ragging.
7. Once the freshers party is done with, you can enjoy all the freedom.

NIT Kurukshetra hostels are good. You will enjoy your time over here.
