What are the best hostels to stay for the students who study at NIRMA Institute of Technology?

Ashmita Bose

My cousin completed his B.Tech from Nirma Institute of Technology who stayed in the community hostel named Saurashtra Kadva Patel Samaj situated in Gandhinagar. However, he had friends from various hostels, and here is his insight about the hostels.

Hiramani: This is the most liberal hostel for students in terms of rules and timings. You can return late at night and can indulge in typical hostelling activities like playing LAN games, watching movies on the laptop, etc, as long as you aren’t disturbing others. However, many students complain about the bad quality of mess food.

SGVP: It is a gurukul of Swaminarayan, thus making it quite religious and strict in terms of rules and decorum. Honestly, if you belong to a religion other than Hinduism then you might feel uncomfortable at times. However, the food quality is one of the best as they provide really healthy and tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner. The biggest drawback of this hostel is that there are no doors in the room hence no privacy at all.

Also, check out the following restrictions you have to face if you live in SGVP.

You have to wake up by 6:30, take a bath, do Pooja and assemble for prayer in the evening and return to the hostel before 10:00 pm.
You are not allowed to make noise by playing loud games.
You can not watch any objectionable things on your laptop, because the rector can barge into the room at any time.
If you break any rule you will have to pay a fine.

Saurashtra Kadva Patel Samaj: Here, my cousin chose to live for 2 years out of his B.Tech journey. The hostel was neat and clean and fees were just 20000 for a year, however, the food was just satisfactory.

Overall, it is highly recommended for freshers to join SGVP because of cleanliness, great food, and discipline. But, if you have budget constraints, the fees might seem high. Nevertheless, it is worth the fees.

What is the expected cutoff for the Institute of Technology, Nirma University?

Aarti Ahuja

The Institute of Technology, Nirma University, commonly known as Nirma University, admits students to its undergraduate engineering programs based on the JEE Main score. The cutoff for admission to these programs at Nirma University varies each year and depends on several factors, including the difficulty level of the exam, the number of applicants, and the availability of seats in each program.

Based on the previous year's cutoff trends, to get admission to Nirma University, a candidate should score a JEE Main rank within the top 5,000-7,000. However, the cutoff score may vary based on the candidate's category, program of interest, and the total number of seats available in that program.

It's important to note that meeting the cutoff score is only one of the eligibility criteria for admission to Nirma University. The institute considers other factors such as the candidate's academic performance, the number of applicants for a program, and the reservation policies, among others, for final admission decisions.

My ITNU merit number is 2119 so can I expect my admission into Nirma University?

I have a friend who is doing his B.Tech from Nirma University and have a better idea about the selection process and cut-off. Here is what he had to say.

According to him, with merit of above 2000, you will need to wait for the spot round, i.e. the end of the admission process. You would receive an email from the authorities in the college asking you to attend the counseling session they would organize for freshers.

Going by the recent trend of cutoff, you will probably get electronics, civils, chemical, or even instrumentation branches in the spot round. Getting into Chemical or other branches will be tough with this rank. It will be difficult to get Electronics with this course also, given the rising demand of the branch.
