Shubh Arora's Review on National Power Training Institute

The placement scene has improved a lot in recent years. In fact now the most attractive point of NPTI Badarpur is that it has been offering more than 100% placements (i.e 100% plus multiple offers to a few students) in core companies. For some of the batches though, due to economic slowdown and coal scams placement had dipped to 80-85%. Over 20 companies recruit from here of which the major recuiters are Reliance Power, Alstom and Bechtel. Average package is 4 Lakh per annum and highest is something around 6 Lakh per annum.

Well the campus of NPTI Badarpur is not very big and it doesn't have large and glamorous buildings but it does suffice the infrastructural needs of engineering students. Classroom in the two building are comfortable and well ventilated, computer lab and the well-stacked library are fully air-conditioned. Most important - it has its own 210 MW stimulator which is not present not even in IITD. However, some labs like electrical need improvement as most of the instruments present there are obsolete. NPTI doesn't have their own playground but students generally avail the facilities of NTPC playground and their badminton court for which they have to literally beg to NTPC's officials.

Teachers are very hard working and dedicated. But students often complain about the lack of quality teaching as most of them don't follow what is being taught. But the role of a teacher an engineering institute (or any professional course for that matter) is to merely help you out and it is the student has to do all the self study to fetch good grades.
