Lets get cracking again
THINK BIG, DREAM BIGGER

NIT recently earned the reputaion of being an Institite Of National Importance. But are we creating enough capable engineers who would deliver in the future. Where are we goin wrong ? Is it the mindset, is it the facilities, is it the curriculum or is it something else?

Tell us one thing that the college needs to change, that will turn the wheel of fortune for every NIT'ian.
