Dear candidate, it's great that you have chosen Mechanical Engineering branch for higher studies. NIT Durgapur is a very renowned institution however considering the Mechanical Engineering curriculum I would suggest you to choose NIT Kurukshetra. This Institute maintained its infrastructure really well for years, they provide top class faculties and standard facilities like well equipped labs, library, hostels,wifi, auditorium, swimming pool, store and many more. Talking about placements of mechanical branch, big companies recruit freshers from the campus and offer packages around 6-8 LPA. Overall it's a great experience,
