How good is CSE at NIT Uttarakhand?

HELLO DURGESH RAWAT

THANKS FOR ASKING

CSE at NIT Uttarahkhand is as it should be in one of the premier institutes of India. Most of the

subjects in streams like CSE are self-taught. Considering this little piece of advice, you don’t need an

amazing teacher to teach it, since there are loads of online learning portals that you can use during

the learning process. The system is just awesome for someone who wants to learn and grow his/her

intellectual level and is willing to show interest in Computer Science. The system is so flexible that

you can choose the subjects on your own from third year of graduation. From Advanced Algorithms

to Image Processing to Neural Nets, whatever the hell you want to study, the subjects are available

for you to surf through. Projects and Research Writings are also some compulsories from the side of

the institute. If you are the one who wants to make the best of your free time by getting these extra

bits of knowledge you’re welcome there. So there is much room for research too.

Firstly, the fact that you will be joining CSE branch, the Computer science domain is more important

to consider than you joining NIT UK. Do you really feel CSE is worth joining? You like CSE? Will you

work for it? Is there any other branch you are more interested towards, have knowledge in, and

have a zeal to work for some branch? If CSE is what you want then only we can think about

rendering NIT-UK a worthy choice! Fix you preferred branch first, stick with that and find the best

college you can get into with that branch. I will assume you have fixed your branch to be CSE. (Note

that choosing a branch is mostly like marrying with it, taking divorce later is not easy. Choose wisely).

Now CSE @NIT-UK is best branch here (In terms of placements, reputation, and peer group),

curriculum is identical to other IITs and NITs, labs are okayish! faculty is like any other department

here. Campus is temporary, mind that. You can check other answers for knowing the plight of

campus infrastructure, I won’t comment on that here. So excluding that CSE department is more or

less the same as you will find in any other average NIT.

Hence, if NIT-UK is the only feasible government college you can get in with CSE, it’s certainly worth

it, in fact - better than some. If you’re getting CSE in other NITs with permanent campus (excluding

North-east NITs unless you prefer to live in North-east), prefer them with open hand. Also mind that

except campus, NIT-UK is nothing different than most other NITs. In fact, you might get several

unnoticed advantages due to small campus (Like … no serious ragging, waking up in first floor -

running to classes in ground floor … in 30 seconds , so close :) )

The faculty at NITUK is very meritorious, spirited and young from different parts of the

country.

The student-faculty ratio is 14:1 approximately.

 For ensuring proper growth of the students, teachers guide the students as

Faculty Advisors.

 Teachers assist students in varied extra-curricular activities including sports,

cultural activities, etc.

The academic structure of the Institute has many salient features:

 We have most modern flexible Academic structure 35 % courses are elective.

 Freedom to choose elective courses per semester.

 Freedom to complete programme in VII semesters and going to industry for one

semester internship.

Good luck!
