There are a mid-semester class tests of 20 marks, 3 quizzes, one library paper presentation, one assignment per sem. Not to forget, there are 5 marks for attendance too.The big bomb project is in VIII sem. Exams: keep a tab on your internals because final exams are all externals and no one can help you in that. Sometime attendance is a savior. Teachings : Generally Via presentation as all classes are equipped with screens, PC, projector and sound systems. ALL CLASSES.

College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : There are 4 Hostels inside campus namely Brahmaputra, Sutlej(Boys) and Kaveri, Ganga(Girls).

I must say, having been to many good colleges in various competition, NIFTEM hostels are real spacious and good. We even have a lift. And tuck shops. No need for PGs. Because Hostel stay is compulsory even if your aunt stays in front of the college which is not possible, you have to stay on campus. Its been done to ensure safety. The food is fine, I won't say its very good. It costs 26500 per month. Since your stay is regular. Per plate meal system is still not there in the mess. Infrastructure: centralized gym, god damn awesome optical cable LAN for laptops, unlimited WiFi, NKC i.e library, digital library, sports center, cafeteria, 5 huge pilot plants, 2 ports cabins for family and VIP stay, walking tracks and many more Labs are world class.By words,actually, world class.

BTW, NIFTEM is planning for providing many more scholarships to those in need by linking with the Industry. Its in the process. If you need a loan, you may. It's easy as the university has a linkage with State Bank of India whose branch is present itself on the campus. You just need a bonafide certificate from the DSW dept., along with you personal documents for availing bank loans. I know students who have opted for loans and it is not a difficult thing here.
