Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT), Allahabad
Introduction:
Consistently ranked among the top 10 technical institutes in India, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) was founded in the year 1961, and just completed its Golden Jubilee. Originally known as the Motilal Nehru Regional Engineering College and affiliated to the University of Allahabad, MNNIT now comes under the Centre. One of the top NITs, you’ll find a huge number of brilliant North Indians here.
Location:
MNNIT Allahabad is located about 5-6 kilometres away from Civil Lines, in the area known as Teliyarganj. While it’s not a huge metropolis, Allahabad is a fast-growing, developing city, so the location of the college is quite excellent. What’s more, the college provides a thrice-a-day bus service to and from Civil Lines at no extra cost to the students. How sweet.
Infrastructure:
In the past few years, MNNIT Allahabad has seen some great improvement with respect to infrastructure. The intake recently increased significantly, and this paved the way for a lot of construction activity, which has seen MNNIT become one of the best-looking government institutes in the country. All the classes are air conditioned, the hostels (seven for boys and one for girls) are well maintained, with a huge new one coming up. The laboratories are excellent as well, especially the mechanical and computer labs; the college has a three storey computer centre! The library, a common place for nerds to hang out, is spacious and extremely rich in terms of books. The college has decent facilities for a number of sports like cricket, football, tennis, badminton, basketball, etc. They also have a few cafes and tiny outlets here and there – a Bikaner outlet provides tasty snacks at subsidised rates, while there’s a nice Rich Cafe in the boys hostel. The best part, most students say, about NIT Allahabad is their internet, which is ‘ultra fast’. No wonder the college is one of the very, very few institutes in India to have a supercomputer of its own.
Courses Offered:
Bio Technology
Chemical Engineering /Technology
Civil Engineering
Computer Science & Engineering
Electronics & Communication Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Information Technology
Mechanical Engineering
Production & Industrial Engineering
Faculty:
Although you cannot possibly doubt the quality of the faculty here, it must be mentioned that an average student at NIT Allahabad doesn’t depend on the professors. Most students take it upon themselves to understand and learn their subjects completely, regardless of who’s teaching them. That said, the faculty as a whole is quite good. The faculty from the mechanical department is singled out for special praise. Most professors are old and very experience, and in spite of this share an excellent rapport with the students.
Attendance:
The college is quite particular about attendance in the first year. Over time, students get used to attending, so they normally don’t even realise that the professors become slightly lenient in the subsequent years.
Placements:
Really really good! Needless to say, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad has 100% placements, with some of the top companies from all sectors visiting the campus. The minimum salary here is about Rs.3.5 lac, while the highest can go as high as 16 lpa. Even students who have backlogs manage to get placed. To give you an idea of the hirers here, here’s a tiny list – Microsoft, Amazon, Netapp, Oracle, Yahoo, Samsung, Direct-i for Comps/Elex. For the core branches, the major companies that come in are Pepsi, NTPC, General Steel, Coal India, etc.
Crowd:
The girl/boy ratio is a frankly awful 1:9, but other than this, the crowd at MNNIT Allahabad is like any other college. There is a rather higher percentage of UP-ites than the allotted 50%, because of the simple fact that many get in without the state quota.
Festivals:
The Technical festival, Avishkar, is held in September and is one of the more popular fests in India, which is why it attracts participation even from IITs.
The cultural fest called Culrav is held in January, while a unique literary fest called Gnosiomania is also hosted by MNNIT.
