"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. “

  2. Being placed in TCS and e-value serve are better placements than BITS? Hehe :)
    And NSIT/DCE have the same reputation as BITS too? Hehehe

    Ambience and exposure are better at NSIT because you are in Delhi? Won't they be better when you are left in a campus far away from the world in the heat of the desert and have nothing to do but jump into extra curricula and yet meet nobel laureates? :)

    Such a wanna be article!

  3. Wanna be article? He got into BITS but he rejected it! So there is nothing wannabe about it.

    NSIT has had 4 offers from Facebook Inc one of the highest in India) in the past 1 year and many more offers from companies like Google California, Epic, Adobe, Amazon.com, Schlumberger, Texas Instruments etc etc. And just because we do not have a good ranking in magazines in which colleges like VIT are placed in top 10 doesnt mean that NSIT doesnt have a good reputation. BITS is a great college and there is no second thought to it. But I hope they also teach to value someone's personal opinion there. :)
