This is an inspiring placement story of one of my seniors from B.Tech CSE at NIT Jamshedpur. He is a dedicated, talented, and hardworking person.
In 2015, Amazon visited the campus to recruit interns. This senior of mine applied for the internship, along with others in the department. He cleared the written round and the 1st technical interview. But he failed to clear the 2nd technical interview. So he was not among the 5 students who secured the intern position.
A year later, Amazon visited again with a full-time software development engineer position. This time the guy was determined to crack the test. He was one of the only 2 students who cleared the written round and 4 technical interviews. So this time, he secured the position at Amazon.
Amazon offers one of the highest packages at NIT Jamshedpur. This guy cleared its difficult test against all odds. He cleared the test in 2016, and joined the company precisely one year later, after completing his B.Tech.
This guy enrolled at NIT Jamshedpur in 2013. His roll number contained the number 13, and so did his hostel room number. It feels like 13 is his lucky number after all!
NIT Jamshedpur is a tier- 3 Indian Engineering College and it fairs well compared to some other NITs like Raipur, Durgapur, Jaipur in terms of placements of Metallurgical branch students.
Jamshedpur in itself is fortunate to have a number of steel companies and therefore the metallurgy students here have that to their advantage. The exposure, the competitive environment ensure that students obtain a number of opportunities for training and internships.
Moreover, this branch has a lot of scopes not just in our country but abroad too. Also, metallurgy is the oldest branch in NIT Jamshedpur.
It completely depends on whether you are a girl or a boy. If you are a girl, then you can enjoy the following things:
Now, if you are a boy, then you can enjoy whatever you wish to.
Thus, you can do a lot of things during your weekend breaks.
There are also good restaurants, Blue Diamond and Delhi Darbar, which are the best place for a weekend visit. However, there is also KFC and Dominos in sakchi and Bistupur respectively.
Lastly, if you want to do some cloth marketing, You can visit Bistupur Market. However, for books and daily essentials, you have to go to Sakchi. There are also a good collection of books in Agarwal Book Store, and for stationary Maha Lakshmi Stores.
When packing for NIT Jamshedpur, it's important to consider the weather and the activities you plan on doing while you're there. Here are some general items that you may want to consider bringing.
It's also a good idea to check with the college for any specific items they recommend bringing, such as bedding or a specific type of power plug adapter.
The placements of Metallurgy and Material Science at NIT Jamshedpur aren’t very high and most students have to opt for non-core companies instead. Only a handful of core companies visit offering mediocre packages.

NIT Jamshedpur is among the top NITs of our country and is one of the oldest engineering institutes of our country. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider joining NIT Jamshedpur.

So, if you're planning to join NIT Jamshedpur, then you can continue with your decision as it is one of the finest engineering institutes providing all the modern facilities to its students.
Both NIT Jamshedpur and NIT Jalandhar offer excellent B.Tech CSE programs and have a good track record of placements. However, if you have to choose one of the two based solely on placements, it would be recommended to go for CSE NIT Jamshedpur. Here are a few reasons why:
Both colleges have a good reputation and offer quality education in the field of Computer Science. Placements are just one of the many factors to consider when choosing a college, and it's recommended to research and compare the colleges based on factors such as curriculum, faculty, infrastructure, and campus life before making a decision.
If you look at all the criteria MHRD takes into consideration while ranking institutes, NIT Silchar is at par with most NITs but in terms of research, and infrastructure. The only parameter in which NIT Silchar was behind NIT Warangal was reputation and the difference was drastic. This affected the overall ranking of the institute in turn lowering the NT Silchar cutoffs.
I think the major reason behind its poor reputation is its remote location and the rumors related to it. It's falsely rumored to be in a Naxalite region and the exposure is believed to be minimal. The institute has a bad reputation, particularly in North India.
I have friends from several NITs and I have safely concluded that NIT Silchar is better than many but it's difficult to convince people of the same and the institute has a bad reputation.
To fix this problem, we need our alumni to be more active in portraying the right image of the institute. Additionally, the institute should hold more inter-college events and strive to build a reputation.
If you are expecting a magnificent campus that will leave you in awe with its beauty and infrastructure then you can lower your expectations because NIT Jamshedpur is nothing like that. You might even get disappointed with the campus on your very first day. However, the administration is slowly working to bring about small changes in the campus and infrastructure.
Overall, the campus and surroundings of NIT Jamshedpur are great and once you start studying here you will grow emotionally attached to the campus such that its minor flaws won’t even matter.
As an ECE student, you will be taught C and Data structures as a part of the ECE curriculum and not an extra subject. One needs to have good programming skills to excel in this branch. A skilled ECE engineer is someone who has a strong grasp of concepts as well as programming skills. He can easily get a job in core companies and need not opt for software-based jobs.
Electronics
Networks
Overall, ECE students require good programming skills to apply/ test/ design their core concepts in the real world. Due to some similarities in the curriculum, many software companies allow ECE, and EEE students to sit with CS and IT for placements.
