My 4 years in college has been absolutely wonderful at NMAMIT. I have been extremely lucky to have professors who made my academic life comfortable thereby providing me time to explore other interests, opportunities to test my skills in various arenas - from technical clubs to sports clubs, from student chapters to college fests.
NMAMIT continuosly supports students by mentoring and counselling from the time of their entry to exit. They also have strict policies against ragging and sexual harassment to provide a safe eco space for growth of all individuals.
I cannot thank the Placement Department enough for the platform they provided for my career. My experience of college life has turned me into a wholesome person, ready to face new challenges in life every day and I wholeheartedly thank each and every one at NMAMIT who have made my college life memorable.

I am grateful to NMAMIT, Nittefor providing me opportunities for growth. I had an amazing college journey. “To reach the top of the ladder, one should have a great foundation” they say. NMAMIT has given me just that to improve my professional and soft skills. Students in NMAMIT have the benefit of exposure to the challenges of modern technology. They have opportunities to upgrade their skills with a number of events & activities within the college and at inter collegiate levels. NMAMIT has an amazing bunch of experienced faculty. I have benefited greatly from the friendly, supportive student-teacher interactions. Students and teachers strive to reach higher by stretching their limits.
The college has a very approachable Placement department, where anyone can seek help, be it academic, personal or career related. I have benefited a lot from this. The campus placements are growing constantly with top firms visiting NMAMIT and the placement numbers steadily rising. I would strongly recommend my friends and family to consider NMAMIT as their college of preference.

"I joined NMAMIT with hopes of graduating with a job in hand. (I had been allocated a seat in a college in Bangalore but desired to study in my native place and the best choice was NMAMIT.) The advantage of NMAMIT over other colleges in the city is the beauty of nature we get to witness, the humane nature of the people, and the encouraging teachers. They are supportive inside and outside the classroom with academic and extra curricular activities- cultural or sports or just about anything. NMAMIT faculty are like family . They live and teach by example. My journey of 4 years in NMAMIT was joyful and memorable. I have learnt valuable life' lessons along with the curriculum. The brilliant minds at Abhyuday, Placement, make my college truly the best experience one could ever have.

Well, it is often said “Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude”. NMAMIT has been that source which has fine tuned my attitude to help me reach the altitude where I stand today. From enhancing one's self confidence to exploring the credibility, to dream bigger and proceed towards achieving the goals our educational institutions and the faculty, play a major role. I am extremely happy that I got an opportunity to be a student of this wonderful institution which has shaped every individual to come out with flying colors in their life.
The confidence imbibed in each and every student and the support rendered by all the faculty members in NMAMIT is immense and this leads to self development of an individual. Ample opportunities have been provided by the institution to improve oneself in academics as well as extra - curricular activities which definitely enhances the leadership skills in an individual. I am thankful to each and every teacher who has helped me to be a better person in all four years of Engineering. Finally, it is believed that "Education is the passport to the future, for, tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today", so keep preparing, keep improving, keep exploring and never give up on your dreams.

NMAMIT has always been my second home. It's where I discovered a part of myself, and who I wanted to become. Hearing the word 'Nitte' makes me smile and that's the place I want to go back to, if given a chance.This is why I try my best to help the juniors in their academics, especially with regard to placements, because the outstanding feature of this college is the brilliant placements offered at the end of 4 years.

The three most important factors influencing success for an engineer are ' Learning Environment, Branch of interest and opportunity for Placements'. NMAMIT provides all three - the ideal atmosphere for learning, best faculty (as I had in CSE who are also friendly and helpful) and, good placements.
Abhyuday, the counselling, welfare, training & placement department works efficiently with concern, to groom all the students to prepare them for life and find placements in the best possible companies. (Placements begin on entering the final year), I even had the rich privilege and freedom of running a program to train the 3rd year students to prepare for placements along with a team of like minded campus recruited students, a process that trains us in compassionate leadership.
