Overall, the IT branch of NIT Kurukshetra has amazing placements!

While CE, IT, and ECEC are among the best branches of NIT Kurukshetra, the Civil branch is the worst. Its poor placement scenario has tainted its reputation and things are going to get better. Only the top 30 students get to appear for written tests of core companies and the packages offered are in the range of 3-4 LPA. The in-hand salary is as low as 25k per month or even less. 

Here is the placement of the UG course offered by the civil branch of NIT Kurukshetra 

If you have already taken civil or you are taking civil because you have no other choice, start preparing for other things. You can study advanced formulas in Excel and start preparing for CAT. Most non-core companies require great communication skills and basic knowledge of Office tools. A few non-core companies visited once a month that allowed all students to sit for placements. Make sure to prepare well for their interview. 

Overall, the construction sector is one of the worst sectors in India. Even those places in core companies face serious issues so consider everything before joining this branch.

I have a friend in NIT Kurukshetra who shared details of her accommodation there. The college is a fully residential campus perfect for nature lovers. The hostels for the first year students are 

Boys

• Abhimanyu Bhawan H-1
• Bhishma Bhawan H-2
• Chakradhar Bhawan H-3

Girls Hostel - Alaknanda

All the above hostels are pretty old yet well-maintained due to frequent renovations and reprints. The rooms allotted are triple occupancy. The cost is very low and can easily be afforded by everyone. The hostels have decent internet connections second only to the network provided by the CCN (Centre for Computing and Networking), which contains the main server.

Every hostel has its own mess but the food served is below average. Most of the time you will have to eat from outside despite paying monthly mess charges. 

Overall, these hostels have a good ambiance and will give you some of the best memories of your life.

Only a few core ECE companies visit NIT Kurukshetra such as Freescale, Ericsson, Reliance, Idea, etc. One needs to be among the top 20-30 and have a strong grasp of the concepts of ECE to get placed in these companies. You will face intense competition while appearing for these companies so be prepared. 

The salary range varies from company to company. Freescale offers around INR 10 LPA while most of them offer around 5–6 LPA.

NIT Kurukshetra has both IT and CS branches so the number of software companies and the job opportunities offered to students in this branch are plentiful. Anyone planning to take IT or CS shouldn't be worried about placements at all because all major IT giants visit the campus for placements.

Civil engineering is a core branch whereas Production engineering is a subsidiary of Mechanical engineering. Civil Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra has an edge in the highest package while Production Engineering has a higher average package. 

The scope of Production engineering is expected to increase in the future whereas Civil Engineering scope is decreasing every year with very limited job opportunities. This scenario can be found in almost every engineering college.
