Both NIT Trichy, as well as NIT Warangal, are well-reputed engineering colleges of national importance. Both the NITs enjoy similar reputations and not much can be compared between the two. Nevertheless, let's consider the following points of difference.

• Both the NITs have a similar time schedule wherein classes commence in the morning at 8 or 9 a.m. and lunch starts in the afternoon at 1–2 p.m. The classes come to an end by 4 or 5 p.m. in the evening and students are then free to do anything of their choice. 
• Both NITs have a great extracurricular culture promoted through a plethora of clubs, and programs.
• Both NITs have equally good accommodation facilities.
• Both colleges are ragging-free with student-friendly ambiances.
• NIT Trichy serves more south Indian food whereas NUIT Warangal has a good combination of both north and south Indian food.
• NIT Trichy is better in terms of academics while NIT Warangal has a slight edge in terms of placemats. 

In all, both institutes are of similar brand value with very minor differences.

One of my close friends is pursuing EXE from IIIT Hyderabad and was all praise for the institute. She had come with zero expectations and the institute as well as the branch impressed her. 

• ECE is a whole different story from CSE wherein you need fundamental knowledge about concepts and coding skills alone are not enough.
• The faculty pool comprises highly qualified professors who are very passionate about research and adopting modern pedagogy.
• IIIT Hyderabad has the best lab facilities and modern instruments. Although there is no mechanical department, IIIT is well known for its strong focus on Robotics.
• IIIT Hyderabad placements are excellent and this year, the highest salary increased by 32% and was recorded at INR 74 LPA. B.Tech CSE average salary stood at INR 32 LPA and major recruiters included Bloomberg, Code Nation, Deloitte, Facebook, Google, HSBC, Indeed, etc

NIT Trichy has an advantage of a bigger campus and more experienced faculty.  So, NIT Trichy is a good choice if you want a great campus life along with studies but if you want to focus on academics only then IIIT Hyderabad is the place for you.

This is one of the most debatable questions. Both NIT Trichy and BITS Hyderabad are well-known institutions that have their strengths and weaknesses.

Here are a few parameters on which one can compare the two-

• Reputation: BITS Hyderabad was established in the year 2008, and NIT Trichy was established in 1964. NIT Trichy is ranked 9th in the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering and is consistently listed among the top 10 Engineering institutions in India.

• Peer groups: Both institutes are good and can not be compared because both institutions select candidates through different entrance exams.

• Location: BITS Hyderabad is better in terms of location because Hyderabad is a better city than Tiruchirapalli.

• Reservation: NIT Trichy does have reserved seats while BITS Hyderabad does not.

• Cost of Study: NIT Trichy costs around 10 Lakhs, while BITS Hyderabad goes to around 22 Lakhs.

• Infrastructure- Both the institutions have a good infrastructure but the BITS Hyderabad infrastructure is better.

• Placements- The average package at both is at par but Apple visits BITS Hyderabad which is a point in its favor.

If the fee is a matter of concern, I would suggest you go with NIT Trichy. Also, for Mechanical Engineering, NIT Trichy is an ideal place. For a JEE aspirant, NIT Trichy is a dream come true. 

My personal preference is in this order-

1. NIT Trichy
2. NIT Surathkal
3. NIT Warangal
4. MNNIT Allahabad
5. NIT Rourkela ~ BITS Hyderabad
6. MNIT Jaipur

Both NIT Trichy and BITS Hyderabad are equally good institutions and you can choose either of the two after considering each of the above aspects. 

If you look beyond the IIT tag lens, you will realize NIT Trichy is actually a great institute with excellent opportunities. The institute does well in providing both placement and higher education opportunities. Some other things that make it a good choice are 

• Fests like Pragyan and Festember held at a huge scale
• An Excellent alumni connect
• A talented student body
• Octa the computer lab
• Sports facilities 
• A good brand name 

NIT Trichy might not have the IIT tag but it certainly has something that even the new IITs do not, a well organized and student-friendly management!

For a branch like CSE, choosing between IIT Bhubaneswar and NIT Trichy is a bit tricky. Both offer good placements and are equally good colleges. But if you want an IIT tag (which does hold more weight than an NIT tag), you should go for IIT Bhubaneswar.

If you want to pursue your higher studies abroad, go for an IIT tag blindly because the IIT brand is well-recognized abroad. So, consider what you wish to do after your graduation and make your decision accordingly.

But, in general, as NIT Trichy is older than IIT Bhubaneswar, you should choose based on the branch that you get at each. If you get CSE/EE at NIT Trichy and another branch at IIT Bhubaneswar that will not get you as good a package, go for NIT Trichy.

These are the placement figures for IIT Bhubaneswar and NIT Trichy-

Some people do consider NIT Trichy as a superior option because it is older while IIT Bhubaneswar is a newer IIT. IIT Bhubaneswar is at the 47th rank while NIT Trichy is at the 9th rank in the NIRF India Rankings 2023: Engineering.
