Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur (MNIT)

Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur (MNIT)
Introduction:
Malaviya National Institute of Technology was formerly the Regional Engineering College (REC) in the capital of Rajasthan. Established in 1963, it was given the status of an NIT in 2003. The college is also considered an Institute of National Importance, which is a pretty cool thing, if you ask us.



Location:
Malaviya NIT Jaipur is located in quite a prime area, right in the heart of the city. This ensures that, unlike what is the case with most NITs, MNIT has an urban campus, and there actually are a number of things to do once you step out of the college. The area is partly commercial and partly residential, and also houses the very famous GT Market.



Infrastructure:
The huge, 350 acre campus is tastefully designed, with lush greenery prevailing in spite of the extreme conditions of Jaipur. Ever since it was given NIT status, the college has been involved in constant renovation activity. The college gives a look of being in transition. Most of the older buildings are being torn down, and swanky new buildings have come up. The fully air conditioned, computerized library has more books than you could bargain for and – more importantly - they are made available to students whenever required. The new laboratories are air conditioned, and the old ones are pretty well-maintained as well. The old hostels aren’t that appealing, but the new hostels (which are coming up very quickly) are fantastic. The present canteen is nothing to boast about, but the upcoming one promises to be quite excellent. For the time being, students are happy with the juice corners in the hostels. The messes are huge, and serve food which isn’t great, to be honest, but is more than edible.



Ranking:
NIT Jaipur is widely considered to be in the top 5 NITs. For the in-demand courses, you’ll need a rank of about 2000, while the less-loved branches would admit you with a rank of around 8000.

Post Graduate Courses :


Faculty:
The faculty, as you would expect at most colleges, is a decent mixture of good and not-so-good professors. Senior professors outnumber junior professors, and almost the entire staff is quite approachable. There are a few problems, though. Some teachers are said to be very annoying, and some are said to hold grudges for the longest time. So you’d best make sure you’re in everyone’s good books.



Attendance:
Most professors insist that each student needs to maintain a minimum of 75 per cent attendance. In some cases, your rapport with a professor might help you work around it, but don’t count on it. If you fall too short of attendance, they might just fail you.



Crowd:
Now, a great crowd isn’t something you associate with NITs, and MNIT is no different. The boy/girl ratio is a terrible 7:1 (and it may be worse), so girls are at an absolute premium here. But the one thing that really stands out is the excellent rapport that students have with each other. Especially the hostellites, who develop strong bonds through their four (or more) years at the college with each other.



Festivals:
NIT Jaipur hosts national level festivals every year, out of which the stand-out events are their technical fest, Neuron and their cultural fest, Blitzschlag.

Verdict:
Students say “it’s like any other engineering college, but it’s an NIT”. Good overall development, but not the greatest life, it must be said.
