If you’re considering NIT, there are a few things you should know before making your decision.
The university changes its policies all the time, often without proper notice. Recently, they removed the hostel scholarship, increasing the financial burden on students.
The management is incredibly disorganized. They can call you before a disciplinary committee over minor issues, and it often feels like students are treated as if they’re guilty by default.
This year, we had our mid exams just three days before Eid, and immediately after the exams we were told to vacate the hostels. There was no flexibility despite students needing to travel home for the holidays.
The new hostels don’t even have air conditioners, even though students were promised they would. On top of that, the curfew policies are unnecessarily strict, communication with students is poor, and the hostel in-charge is extremely rude. He has laughed at students’ concerns and treated them disrespectfully.
The campus itself is already quite small, yet the hostel fees are higher than LUMS, while the facilities and overall management are nowhere close to that standard.
I’m not saying everything about NIT is bad, but if you’re planning to enroll, make sure you know what you’re signing up for. Don’t rely only on what you’re told during admissions talk to current students first.
