NMAMIT has not only been key to our education but also taught us the basics in life and the way to succeed. The all round development we had in the 4 years of our course have been the basis for our strength and foundation to succeed in the competitive environment.
It is the fundamentals that defines what you want to be as an Engineer. At NMAMIT’s mechanical engineering course, the highly skilled professors, exceptional lab facilities and staff have made it an easy accomplishment.
I would like to say that my engineering at NMAMIT is something that I'll always cherish. The learning experience and the exposure that it provides is commendable. Faculty are amazing and are a constant source of support and motivation to aim higher to achieve more. Apart from the normal curriculum there are many clubs that've helped me expand my horizons, taken me through pragmatic ways of learning. Thanks to the Campus Placements, I've been placed in a core company for Mechanical Engineering.
My sincere gratitude to my Alma Mater. I cannot forget their contribution which helped me during the formative years and subsequently at the start of my professional career.
For me NMAMIT is the college that built my life.
Green all ... helped me grow to my best. Programs like Mission Prerana helped me develop confidence. At the Robotics club, we were supported by college towards projects, participation in events and to build our own team. We travelled across cities and states to take part in National level Robotics events. Meeting people across states, knowing their teams, projects, robots further stimulated our minds.
The Mechanical engineering department is filled with enthusiastic teachers, modern teaching methods and advanced subjects. I took up mini-projects apart from regular projects and participated in hackathons under their guidance. With a caring, competent team and meticulous planning, Abhyuday, the welfare & placement department started to train us, from the first year itself, to face interviews. Our parent department also conducted tests and mock interviews which helped me immensely in times of placements.
In NMAMIT, you will find students from all parts of the country and abroad. There are no malls nearby, KFC or Domino's, but the food that you get in the canteen or nearby hotels is what you will remember for the rest of your life. I have not just graduated from NMAMIT. I have lived every moment there and created memories to last a lifetime.
"No college is perfect, every college has its +ves and - ves. Here in NMAMIT, everyone works really hard to reduce the negatives to help students to progress. I felt good that the teachers helped students without any bias. The college focused not only on academics, but also on the cultural and extra-curricular activities. Regarding placements, the college tries to get as many companies as possible but it’s you who need to grab the opportunity by staying ready to get into them. NMAMIT has really been a great experience for me as I made friends and several beneficial experiences that helped me prepare for the next chapter of my life. "
The college has amazing Infrastructure for imparting technical knowledge and skills required for an engineering graduate. The faculty are very enthusiastic and take up a lot of initiatives in organising training sessions and seminars for students that will help them in getting a good job in today’s competitive world. .
“Apart from the excellent academic experience, the life skills that NMAMIT imparted, has led me to where I am today.
I gained enormously being a part of the Cultural Student' body. Every year I’ve seen it only improve - we are AWED at the overall skill sets that the NMAMITians joining us as recruits bring to the table, and it makes me extremely proud of my Alma mater. I cherish every moment I spent at NMAMIT. The entire journey has been very interesting and awesome.”
NMAMIT has a very beautiful campus surrounded by greenery where we learn as well as make a lot of memories with our friends in the lap of nature. There are friendly faculty members with good subject knowledge who are supportive of our creative and academic choices.
Facilities like robotics lab and automotive labs help us stay up to date with industries. The Institution encourages internships to enhance our chances of getting a job. As technical skills alone would not be sufficient, NMAMIT arranges for soft skills training too.
