It is a matter of great pleasure to release the Information Brochure of NIT Durgapur for the academic session 2021-22. This new brochure comes with a host of first-hand knowledge about the institute. It not only highlights the academic programmes operating on campus but also some of the most recent achievements of the students, faculty members and the institute as a whole on various national platforms. The academic programme curricula have not been included in this brochure as they are dynamically modified and kept posted up to date on the institute website. The existing programme curricula gives a lot of flexibility and opportunity to the aspiring students. This brochure fantastically focuses on various academic / research facilities and relevant outputs, which are of social importance. Campus facilities that inject life into the system have also been nicely depicted in this booklet. Lastly, it is noteworthy that NIT Durgapur has produced a large number of highly reputed personalities and an honest attempt has been made so as to inspire the student community.
