NSIT/DTU is far better than NIT Hamirpur for CSE.
Be it academics, placement, research culture, peer group, exposure, etc. NSIT/DTU will offer better opportunities. These two institutes also have a locational advantage. Due to the favorable location, you can easily get good exposure in the CSE domain. NSIT and DTU both will offer you plenty of opportunities. However, many students prefer NSIT for their small student intake.
How are girls hostels at NIT Hamirpur?
Depending on your year, you’ll be allotted one of these hostels at NIT Hamirpur-
- AGH- AGH is allotted to first and second year girls. This hostel has very spacious rooms. The rooms are really good in comparison to those at boys’ hostels. Each room is shared by three girls and divided into three sections, with curtains at the entrance. You’ll get two attached balconies, which you’ll share with the side rooms. The corridors are spacious and wide. AGH is located 1 km downhill from the academic block. Thus, the walk back and forth is quite exhausting. First year girls have to be back by 6 pm. In the 2nd year, this timing is extended to 8 pm.
- PGH- You’ll be allotted PGH from 3rd year of your degree. Its rooms are very small. Monkeys and lizards are occasional visitors. Final year students, though not all, are allotted single rooms. It is comparatively closer to the academic block (closer by mere 100 meters). You won’t have to climb uphill as before. The hostel timing for 3rd and 4th year girls remains 8 pm.
Mrs. Awasthi is a bit strict as a warden, Mrs. Kaur is nice and helpful. You will be allotted either of them. The mess food is quite decent in both the girls’ hostels, much better than the boys’ hostels.
Thus, overall, girls’ hostels at NIT Hamirpur are quite decent.

Is NIT Hamirpur a good college for M.Tech in any specialization of Civil Engineering?
NIT Hamirpur B.Tech Civil Engineering department lacks a research environment and proper lab facilities for both UG and PG programs. As far as academics are concerned, the department is ahead of many NITs. However, the infrastructure and teaching methodology are not in line with new-age requirements. Even the placement scenario for M.Tech Civil at NIT Hamirpur isn't good.
In comparison to other branches, the Department of Environmental Engineering and Energy Resources has better research facilities. For an M.Tech in Civil Engineering, I would like you to try these institutions - IIT Roorkee, BITS, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, NIT Allahabad, and NIT Delhi.
NIT Hamirpur isn’t the best choice for an M.Tech Civil program.
How is the infrastructure of NIT Hamirpur?
In 2007, NIT Hamirpur was ranked as the best NIT in terms of infrastructure by the World Bank. It’s filled with natural beauty and has very beautifully designed buildings. There are more than 10,000 pine trees on the entire campus. The climate is usually pleasant and the view is breathtaking. I believe pictures speak more than a thousand words so here are a few photos of the campus

The pics must have given you an idea of the infrastructure at NIT Hamirpur.

How is Mathematics taught at NIT Hamirpur?
The teaching methodology for Math is a bit disappointing at NIT Hamirpur.
Mostly the faculty refers to Dr. Sunil’s notes for teaching, even though they can refer to any source. The problem arises when question papers contain the same example questions that are present in these notes. This promotes cramming. Students simply cram all the steps of example questions and rewrite them in their answer sheets.
This is an injustice to those who are genuinely interested in Mathematics. If you are one of them, you will learn only the concepts. With some effort, you will eventually solve the exam questions. However, you will also require a while to first understand each question. Eventually, you’ll solve a lesser number of questions than the person who crammed all the steps.
This system has a detrimental effect on a student’s interest in Mathematics. Cramming becomes the most effective route towards scoring top grades. This will leave you in a dilemma- either you can run behind marks, or the pure joy of mathematical problem-solving. The best way of reviving your interest is through free online courses.
Thus, Math teaching is not good at NIT Hamirpur. This practice needs to change.
Which college should I take: NIT Hamirpur or MIT Manipal?
I will recommend you opt for MIT Manipal instead of NIT Hamirpur. One of my friends recently completed his graduation from MIT Manipal and based on what he shared, it’s the right choice for you. I will enumerate a few reasons why it seems a better option than NIT Hamirpur
- Most of his batch mates went on to pursue diverse careers. Some joined IAS while some got admission to top B Schools and Tech Schools both abroad and in India. Some others are doing really well in corporations while some have become successful entrepreneurs. Such excellence is nothing but a reflection of what the institute delivers.
- MIT Manipal offers the dream college life every engineering student desires. There is a lot of freedom and diversity on campus. Moreover, the crowd is a rich blend of talented Indian and foreign students.
- MIT Manipal promotes research and innovation to a great extent. My friend authored 7 papers there that helped him get a job with R&D. Many others collaborated with Doctors, Management Graduates, Pharmacists, and 16 other disciplines back then to research, innovate, and start-up.
- The location plays a big role in improving its brand value. Manipal is close to two growth centers in India - Bangalore and Mumbai. This attracts more and better companies and offers.
- Many niche disciplines such as aeronautical engineering and automobile are taught here by the best faculty.
- Every year many students clear competitive exams like the GATE and GRE, and management entrance exams like the CAT and XAT.
- Students are exposed to numerous opportunities such as the Model UN.
No doubt Manipal charges exorbitantly high fees but by the end of your graduation you will feel every penny was after all worth it!
