An M.Tech in Industrial Engineering and Management from NIT Trichy is a very good course. The placements are also really good. Any company which comes to the campus for recruiting mechanical or production specialization students will also let you sit for their process. 

There are many core companies in the data/business analytics, supply chain, and simulation sector which offer management-related profiles to the students.

The percentage placements of the M.Tech in Industrial Engineering and Management students over the years at NIT Trichy is given below –

You can further pursue a Ph.D. in this area and work as a professor in any engineering college or university. The best part of this course is its leniency towards attendance, classes, and exams which will help you to maximize your learning through other means as well.

Assuming that you must have already gone through the essential details required for your decision as to your undergraduate course. Few points are being listed below to give you a better understanding of your area of concern.

• Faculty: The faculty at NIT Trichy is highly experienced and highly educated. One can say that they are proficient in their field of expertise. Some professors can give you a hard time but an easy college life would not be of much fun.
• Infrastructure & facilities: The labs are above average and a little outdated in comparison to other top-notch colleges in India. The lab assistants are however cooperative and are experienced. You will be allowed to use the labs of other departments.

• Placements: You will be required to clear CTC (a system at NIT Trichy). If you clear it, you will eligible to apply for placements. The Chemical Engineering department consists of a low-class strength and the department has experienced over 95% placement rate. The companies visiting here are esteemed as well as some are startups.
• Higher Education: The brand name of NIT Trichy would help you in getting through some barriers in your future studies/career. You should mainly focus on maintaining a great CGPA in your course for smoothening your future ventures.

You must know that most of the subjects in Chemical Engineering require mugging of the theories. Be ready for it if you are opting for this branch.

One of my friends stays nearby Tiruchirappalli. According to him, unfortunately, NIT Trichy is located in a place called Thuvakudi which is at a distance of 20 km and 40 km from Trichy and Thanjavur respectively.

• There are only villages around the college which means you won't get any hotels nearby. 
• You might have to stay in one, as it is one of the many options provided by Trichy.
• The nearest hotel is pretty good, it is Hotel Grand Gardenia. You can check it out from the traveling websites. 
• Also, there are a lot of other cheap hotels within 200 m of the bus stand.
• Sangam is one of the best hotels in Trichy. It is also quite near to the main bus stand. 
• SRM is also equally good.
• For your stay in Trichy, Ramya's Hotels is the best hotel which is near to the Railway Station and Central Bus Stand. 
• They have different types of rooms according to the guest's expectations. 
• They provide all types of facilities like free wifi, heater, room service, valet car parking, etc.

The majority of the hotels are present in Trichy city whereas NIT Trichy is about 18 km from the main city. It approximately takes one hour to travel. So, if you wanna choose the best hotels in Trichy simply select Ramyas Hotels.

I have a few friends from both NIT Trichy and CEG and here is what I gathered from my conversations with them. 

• In terms of ranking, NIT Trichy is placed higher than CEG. This is because NIT admits students based on JEE Mains ranking and CEG admits students based on board marks.
• In terms of placements, NIT Trichy would be way ahead of CEG. The college enjoys a better reputation and big firms come for placements.
• For ECE, then recruiting companies visiting the on-campus placements at NIT Trichy are Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, SanDisk, Nvidia, etc. The average CTC offered is 6 LPA. 
• You can also go for higher education if you have a good GPA and great projects.
• The faculty team is overall good. A few of them are extremely knowledgeable and conduct high-quality research. In terms of facilities, NIT Trichy has an edge over CEG. 
• Since CEG is in Chennai, there are other sources of enjoyment but NIT Trichy is 20 km away from Trichy.

Overall, NIT Trichy will be a better choice than CEG.

It would be better to opt for Chemical Engineering at NIT Trichy. The institute will offer you a better faculty, upgraded infrastructure, a better peer group, and superior placements. If you are genuinely interested in chemical engineering then you have a lot of scope in NIT Trichy. 

NIT Trichy is more developed as compared to the other NITs and offers a lot of exposure. Choose this branch only if you will further go for higher education in Chemical Engineering. The job opportunities right after graduation are very less and it would be difficult.

However, if you are concerned about placements, then CSE will be the suitable option as the branch has a lot of opportunities.

Both of these institutes are considered the best NITs in the country. Comparing them is literally not justified, but still, let me provide some facts about both these institutes which you can later use as a reference for your selection. 

• NIT Trichy has a larger campus than NITK Surathkal. However, the facilities and development are particularly the same in both the institutes. 
• The climate of Surathkal is better than in Trichy. 
• Both NITK Surathkal and NIT Trichy have the best faculty and the pedagogy followed is highly research-oriented.
• The social life at either institute is extremely lively with several sports facilities, extracurricular activities, clubs, teams, and more. 
• In terms of the CSE department, the number of students actually placed from either institute remains almost head to head. 
• However, NIT Trichy still shares an upper hand since it has recorded the highest and average salary packages over the years.
• NIT Trichy collaborates with ISRO, DRDO, DTU, and many other research organizations that also provide massive funds for future projects. 
• NIT Trichy approximately has over 100 startups. 
• The alumni network is robust and supportive in both colleges.

You should make an informed decision after considering the factors mentioned above. However, the points aforementioned clearly incline more toward NIT Trichy. In any case, both institutes come with their own reverence and prestige.

Since one of my cousins is currently a part of NIT Trichy, he can possibly elaborate on your question more thoroughly. 

• The dress code at NIT Trichy, as per my cousin, is very rare. 
• Unlike many other institutes in Tamil Nadu, the dress code at NIT Trichy is quite unflustered. 
• Students, mainly boys, cannot wear shorts into the class but can definitely wear t-shirts if they wish to. 
• The major drawbacks are rather faced by the girls of the institute because, at any seasonal point, they are mandated to wear salwar kameez or Kurtis. 
• It is both unjust and apparently not highly appreciated, in terms of climatic conditions, comfort zone, and other similar factors. 
• That said, it can get highly unmanageable during the summertime when the climatic conditions of Tamil Nadu usually soar the highest. 
• Trichy, Tamil Nadu, is extremely conservative in factors relating to the modern outlook of society. 
• Regardless of how much the campus has currently grown, there have been multiple incidents of fining bulky amounts to students for unconsciously flouting the dress code of the institute, even on basketball fields. 

However, it is best if you research more about the present scenario of NIT Trichy, regarding their dress codes, regulations, and other relevant aspects.
