What are the drawbacks of NIT Durgapur?

Though I love my college, here are some areas that need to work on with sincerity-

• Learning Method- Students are expected to follow an orthodox learning style. To become a 9-pointer, you’ll have to memorize class notes. Students mug up answers and write them in their answer sheets. All this requires simply a week-long preparation before the respective exam. Professors don’t encourage creativity on answer sheets, they want an exact reflection of their notes.

• Administration- The administration isn’t supportive at all. There is a fine/ charge for everything. You are expected to pay money for college ID, low attendance,  college bonafide, and practically every other thing.

• Training and Placement Cell- They organize no training programs to prepare students for job interviews. Even if you find a training program that needs college approval, you’ll face many obstacles in acquiring their permission. Placements are good, but you’ll have to prepare on your own.

• Hostel Infrastructure- The majority of hostels were built in the 1960s, and have never been renovated since. The rooms are in poor condition and the occasional paint job does minimum to hide the damages. 

NIT Durgapur has given me lovely seniors and amazing friends. I will always cherish these memories. But these (and some more) areas need serious attention from the college authorities.
