Overall Review of NITRA Technical Campus
My overall experience at NITRA Technical Campus has been a mix of positives and negatives. The college provides affordable education with a decent academic environment, but there are several areas that need improvement. The faculty in the initial years was experienced, making it easier to understand concepts, but now many are freshers, affecting teaching quality. The student-to-faculty ratio has increased, making direct interaction with professors more difficult.
Why I Chose This Institute
One of the main reasons for choosing NITRA Technical Campus was affordability. With a semi-government structure, it offers lower fees compared to private colleges, making it a viable option for students who cannot afford expensive institutions. The college is located near Delhi-NCR, providing easy access to tech events, hackathons, and communities like GDG, Kotlin, and TensorFlow User Groups. Unlike private institutions, there are no extra or hidden charges, and the admission process is straightforward through counseling.
Academic and Placement Experience
The course curriculum is somewhat relevant but lacks practical exposure. There are no industry visits or strong industry connections, limiting real-world learning opportunities. Placements for CSE students are not strong, with very few companies visiting the campus. There is no placement awareness program or workshops on interview preparation, coding, or soft skills. Many students seek off-campus placements through their efforts.
Infrastructure and Facilities
The infrastructure is not well-maintained. The hostel has limited capacity (around 90 for boys and 60-80 for girls), with water problems and overcrowding due to increasing student strength. Mess food quality is average, and the menu remains unchanged. There is no proper sports ground, and students have to arrange their own cricket and volleyball equipment. The library lacks sufficient CSE books, with most books related to textile engineering. Labs are available but with outdated computers, limiting hands-on experience.
Campus Life and Student Activities
The college does not host technical events, hackathons, or open-source programs with prize money. A student-run club, CodSoc 25, organized one quiz and DSA contest in May 2024 but has been inactive since. The college only organizes a sports fest in March or April, which is funded by the college, while freshers' and farewell parties are conducted with student contributions. There is no annual tech fest or cultural fest, which limits extracurricular exposure.
Hostel and PG Life
Hostel life is basic, with shared rooms and limited amenities. For students preferring PGs, the rent varies between ₹4,000 - ₹8,000 for single to triple occupancy, with additional charges for maids and utilities. Students staying in PGs buy groceries from nearby markets and arrange their meals. The locality is well-developed and safe, with essential facilities like hospitals, markets, and metro access, making it easier for students to commute and explore opportunities in Delhi-NCR.
What Makes NITRA Technical Campus Different?
While the college lacks strong placement and technical event support, it stands out for its affordability and location. It is easier to attend tech events in Delhi-NCR compared to colleges in remote locations. However, students must rely on self-learning and off-campus opportunities to build their skills and career prospects.
Final Verdict
NITRA Technical Campus is a decent choice if affordability and location are your priorities. However, if you are looking for strong placements, technical events, and modern infrastructure, you might want to explore other options. Self-motivated students who actively participate in external events and online learning can still make the most out of their time here.
