NIAMT FAQs

Ques. What kind of research support can students expect at NIAMT Ranchi?

Ans. NIAMT has well-furnished technical laboratories, equipment and an experienced faculty group that can guide students in different technical areas. Since the college is compact, students get opportunities to develop ideas, research work and thesis documents. A student can propose an idea, obtain institutional approval and work on the project without restrictions. The institute also provides financial support for projects. One example is a 3-d printer developed by students on campus. Another major achievement is NIFFT RACING, a Society of Automotive Engineers club that was created even though the college did not have a mechanical department at that time. The club has performed well in national and international competitions.

Ques. How do NIAMT Ranchi and BIT Sindri compare in terms of faculty?

Ans. As per student reviews, NIAMT Ranchi faculty members are centrally recruited and knowledgeable. Some faculty members have international PHDs, which gives students better exposure.

Some good teachers are available in core branches, but the situation is poor for circuit branches.
