"The ambience and placements were better at NSIT" -Ashit Arora

Q) What were the options available to you at these ranks?

“I was getting Mechanical Engineering in BITS Pilani. I would have got anything in DCE, NSIT and IP University through my CEE and CET rank. I did not apply for central counseling through AIEEE. “

Q) What brought you to NSIT then?

“I was left to choose between DCE, NSIT and BITS Pilani. Location forms an important basis when you are selecting a college and Delhi was all ends ahead of Pilani. The amount of exposure that one gets in Delhi is incomparable. Both NSIT and DCE had a good reputation and were at the same level as BITS is.  But the ambience and placements were better at NSIT – my mentors told me and now I realize that they were absolutely correct.”

Q) How have these 4 years been in NSIT?

“At NSIT, I made friends with people of all kinds. The IQ level here is acute. The seniors here were very supportive. It was through them that I worked for a lot of innovative ventures and societies. I was the creative director in Adrageous – The advertisement and marketing society at our time. I was also involved as a project leader in Radio NSIT and also served as the vice president of Entrepreneurship and Development Cell. “

Moreover, the competition is really good in each realm. Being a part of Delhi University’s rich diversity does help”
