The hostel experience was nice, with timely breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, the mobile network was very poor in the hostel room and sometimes lan did not work properly. classrooms are in pretty good condition in new gallery classroom. for civil laboratories, the equipment was not maintain properly.

Have a question related to NIT Silchar ?

Hi

hope you doing well

Whilw having a score of 81.12% in Jee mains, and belonging to the S C category, you have a chance of getting admission into NIT Silchar under the SC quota. The cutoffs for SC candidates are generally lower than those for the General category.

However, admission to specific branches like CSE or ECE might still be challenging, as these branches have higher cutoffs. You are more likely to secure a seat in branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering.

The exact cutoffs vary year by year, but based on previous trends, your percentile puts you in contention for certain branches.

You can prefer Josaa counseling for more options

how was placement for mba students in nit silchar this year 2017

Hi!

The Department of Management Studies, NIT Silchar offers decent placement opportunities to its MBA programme students. The placements statistics have considerably improved over the past few years. For the year 2024, the MBA department witnessed 90.70% placements. More than 50+ job offers were made to students. NIT Silchar MBA highest package stood at Rs. 14 LPA and the average package of the placed graduates stood at Rs. 8 LPA.

Similarly, the summer internship report for the batch of 2023-2025 also seems to be quite impressive as 40+ recruiters participated in the internship process. The highest stipend offered was Rs. 49,000 while the average stipend for the top 10% of the batch stood at Rs. 30,000.

Some of the recruiters who participated in the NIT Silchar MBA placements were Dabur, TCS, IDBI Bank, Wipro, ITC Limited, Deloitte, HDFC Bank, etc.

Now, as you have asked for the placement data for the year 2017, a total of 58 job offers were made to 50 eligible students. Given below is the MBA placement statistics for the batch of 2016-2017:

Highest Package: Rs. 6.66 LPA

Average Package: Rs. 2.94 LPA

Median Package: Rs. 2.6 LPA

I hope, your doubt relating to MBA placements at NIT Silchar has been resolved. All the Best!

If you score 81.12 percentile in JEE Mains, then your category rank would be around 20,00 in the SC category. It's too tough to get into NIT Silchar with this rank. Therefore, I recommend not solely depending on JOSAA counseling with this rank. You also need to participate in CSAB rounds, which will increase your chances of getting into any NITs or other good government engineering colleges with this rank.
