Ques

What is your review of NIT Puducherry (CSE)?

● Top Answer By Garima Kapoor on 06 Oct 21

Ans

When it comes to NITs, everyone knows that they are better than any private colleges in the aspects like fees, faculties, campus. The tag of NIT can come in handy for you any day. NIT Puducherry (NITPY) has the best and most supportive faculty there is. Be it any department and especially CSE. There is nothing better than good professors from whom you can seek all the knowledge you want. The fee structure is quite affordable and less when compared to the private colleges but a bit more than government colleges. The CSE department also has quite promising placements. The students get placed in huge companies in places like Bangalore, Noida, and Chennai. Not that we are looking for it but NIT Puducheert has a lab with a 1000 Mbps internet connection that is available for you to use. If it convinces you, then you can surely go for it. If your requirement is Chemical Engineering or Biotechnology then it is not the best choice for you.

Ques

What are the sport facilities at NIT Puducherry?

● Top Answer By Anirban Roy on 01 Oct 21

Ans

Well, NIT Puducherry is not very old but till now they do not have a specific ground for playing. But considering the sports facilities, you can find huge areas around it that can be utilized as a sports ground. For football, you can simply use the ground available. The hockey ground is situated in the southeast direction but it is not very spacious. Coming to volleyball, the NIT authorities have placed a net in the middle of the ground. You can find this facility at the boys' hostel currently. For the rest of the outdoor games like basketball or baseball, you need to travel or explore nearby because the court at college is not very spacious. However, the campus has 2 indoor badminton courts and 2 table tennis courts. NITP also conducts sports day. In which intra-NIT competitions are held among four teams of the college. There are no professional coaches available currently and if you need personal coaching or one-to-one sports training on any sports, you need to take a look outside the college campus.
