All things about NIST University.
Placements: Many students got placed. NIST is famous for its placements and job opportunities. The highest salary package offered in our college is more than 19 LPA. The average salary package offered is around 5 LPA - 6 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA. Many high-level companies visit our college for placements like TCS, Flipkart, etc. Mostly more than 70% of students got internships. Graduated students get internships.
Infrastructure: The overall course system is very nice. There is a big library in the college. Our classrooms are very good. Wi-Fi is available for students in the college and hostel area. The hostel room and canteen food are very nice according to the fee. For the air conditioning room, the fee is Rs. 53,000. The fee for non-air conditioning is Rs. 35,000. The mess or canteen fee is Rs. 4,000 per month. There is a gym and an indoor stadium on our college campus. There are different outdoor stadiums for different sports like basketball, football, cricket, etc.
Faculty: Our teachers are very helpful and highly educated. Most of them are Ph.D. holders. The teaching quality is very nice and easy to learn. The course makes students industry-ready. For a student who attends class regularly and self-study, there are no difficulties in any semester exam.
Other: I chose electrical engineering because there are good opportunities nowadays and upcoming future. Because we see the number of power plants, electrical vehicles, and solar plants increasing day by day. So there is a large number of electrical engineers required.

The faculty members were so nice and the infrastructure is also too good.
Placements: 68% of students get placed, and companies such as Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, and Wipro recruit from our campus. While students do get internships in good companies, the details provided were not 100% accurate, as they were not officially declared.
Infrastructure: The college has a swimming pool and a gym that are only accessible to students living in the college hostel. However, there is a library and a magnificent indoor stadium that are accessible to anyone from the college. In addition, there are grounds for different sports activities.
Faculty: The semester exams are really up to a mark. The teachers are really helpful, and most of them are really well qualified from highly reputed colleges. The management is more cautious and concerned towards students' facilities, activities, and studies.
Other: I chose B. Tech in CSE with a specialization in AIML because the college has excellent facilities for this and other branches as well. There are two grand events per year, and smaller events take place every month that are organized by different club members. The seniors are very friendly and welcoming, which made me feel at home right away.

My Review for the NIST University.
Placements: The college placement scenario is the worst. Very few companies come for recruitment with very low packages. The students of the state only get the scholarship, whereas some studentss get the scholarship based on their rank in JEE Main. The average salary is 4.2 LPA.
Infrastructure: The college admission fee was 25,000 during our time, with an annual fee of 1.2 lakh. Overall, the fees amount to approximately Rs 5 lakh for the total course. As I am a local, I don't have to pay the hostel fees. The condition of the labs is good; we do have AC, but not in the classes, which is most important considering the weather.
Faculty: The teachers are qualified but are not very supportive of students. The teaching quality is average, though some are quite good. The college is really strict regarding attendance, but it does not make a student industry-ready. The exams are held on time.
Other: The college has several active clubs that conduct events regularly, which are quite fun.

Good infrastructure and decent placements but there is room for improvement.
Placements: About 60% of my batchmates were placed. The highest package offered was around 12 LPA, the lowest was 3 LPA, and the average package was about 5-6 LPA. Top recruiting companies included TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Accenture. Around 50% of students got internships, mainly at companies like TCS, Infosys, and some startups. The most common roles offered were software developer, IT analyst, and quality assurance.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is decent, with classrooms equipped with projectors and a computer lab with good internet speed. The library has a good collection of academic and reference books, but it can get crowded during exam times. Wi-Fi is available across campus but can be slow. Hostels are average, with manageable rooms but some outdated facilities. The mess food is okay but repetitive, and there's a small canteen on campus with basic snacks. There are medical facilities and sports options, but the gym could use more equipment.
Faculty: The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive, although the quality of their teaching varied. Some professors were highly skilled and industry-experienced, while others were more theoretical. The curriculum was mostly relevant to industry trends but could have used more practical courses. Exams were moderately difficult, and the passing rate was around 85%. The faculty provided support during the exam preparation period, and there was an option for retakes for those who needed them.
Other: This college is a good option if you're looking for a mid-range B.Teach college with decent infrastructure and reasonable placements. However, if you're aiming for top-tier placements, you should focus on additional certification and internships to boost your employability.

Khushi's Review The only change I want is regarding placements.
Placements: Only forty to fifty percent of the students were placed in the current pass out batch of 2024. The average package is four to five lacs, and the highest package comes from the ECE branch, which is Western Digital, which is twenty lacs. There are not many internship opportunities available.
Infrastructure: Some faculty members are good, while others are not that supportive. The classrooms are good, as are the labs, and Wi-Fi is also available in both the college and hostel. The hostel charges 25,000 annually for non-AC rooms, but the condition of the mess food is really the worst.
Faculty: The teachers are qualified, though some are not that efficient in their work. The course curriculum is relevant and helpful but needs some changes. Exams are conducted regularly, and attendance criteria are strictly followed. The passing criteria are to get above forty percent in the final semester in all the subjects.
Other: The colleges conduct an annual festival called Sankalp, and there are many clubs in the colleges.
