This college has good infrastructure and all necessary things. Among other new nits, this nit has a permanent campus and developing at a very faster rate. But one disadvantage is there is no single tree in whole campus.

Overall it is comfortable life here with plenty of time left

Hello Aryan,

Considering you as a general category student and you can avail the home state then you would surely get the computer science branch there but if you are not from home state quota you won't be able to get cse in nit puducherry as the seats are less and it closes by 6k rank .

In the home state quota the cse cut off goes till 32-33k so you can easily get this if you belong to the home state. However cut offs depends on certain factors such as number of candidates appearing in the examination, previous year cutoffs, and difficulty level of the paper.
