Both branchers are slightly different except for a few topics that overlap in the curriculum. Comparing it with one another is not worth it as both have their own differences.

Let’s take a quick comparison for clearing one’s view:

• Efforts: CSE is much more on the lighter side than ECE.
• Professors: Neither of the branches has good faculty members but ECE is probably better.
• Students: CSE will have a lot of North Indians if you want to look it that way.
• Placements: CSE has no comparison to other branches in terms of opportunities not only in jobs but even in internships. 70% batch gets internships after 3rd year in very good companies. 
• NIT-T Fest: This is one of the things which excites every student after placement statistics. It’s amazing out there.

It is suggested to select the field based on interest. Go for CSE only if you are inclined towards the field otherwise, both branches can give you ample opportunities to learn and grow.

I have many friends from NIT Trichy so I can give you some insight regarding the institute. NIT Trichy is among the best NITs in the country and it has been among the best for the past few years. The peer group at the institute is great since the highest rankers mostly choose NIT Trichy. Here is a highlight of the recent placement record for NIT Trichy.

In terms of quality of education, NIT Trichy is similar to that of any other southern NITs. What makes it stand out is the campus culture and the excellent placement record. 

As one of my friends studied at NIT Trichy, I might be able to help you with your question. He mentioned that things have now improved. 

• The Wi-Fi now is quite convenient.
• The speed of your Wi-Fi is determined by how close your room is to the router. 
• When a large number of people are using the internet, it might become extremely slow (during holidays, nights, etc.). 
• Short power outages can switch routers off, and getting the internet again can take a long time. 
• Because management does not take Wi-Fi concerns seriously, it is preferable to purchase something of your own, so that you have the internet without any hindrance.

Sitting near the router (outside your room) or going to the Octagon or Annex (NIT Trichy's computer centers) are the best ways to get high speeds. LANs will fix most of the internet problems on campus; however, it is not sure when they will be introduced.

Admission in NIT Trichy has seats reserved for the students belonging to the states of Tamil Nadu. Therefore there is some quota that benefits certain students. 

• If you are from outside Tamil Nadu and belong to the general category then with 165 marks you may get Production Engineering or something related to the production department. Some of my seniors got admission to the production department in NIT Trichy, two years back, and they had almost the same marks.
• In the second case if you belong to the state of Tamil Nadu and are from the general category then the chances are better for getting core or better branches. You may get branches such as MME, production engineering, or chemical engineering. 
• If you don’t belong to Tamil Nadu and are from the OBC category then you can expect branches like Instrumentation and control, Civil which is one of the core branches, MME, Production, Chemical. The chances for this gets even better if you are from Tamil Nadu and belong to the OBC category. 
• If you are from SC and ST category then you will be able to get even better branches however it’s less likely to get CSE or ECE. 

Here is the 2020 cutoff for NIT Trichy.

The cutoffs are known to change every year and with no certainty and predictability. It can only be confirmed after the first few rounds of counseling. The opening and the closing rank of a particular department sometimes varies by 2k in the general category and more in the quota.

The department of Architecture at NIT Trichy is top-notch. I know a few people from the NIT Trichy Architecture department, and I have heard good reviews about it. The department is ranked among the top 10 colleges for architecture and it lives up to the expectation.

In fact, the department of architecture is among the best in NIT Trichy in terms of faculty, facilities, and students. In the 2020 placement drive, the average CTC offered was 6 LPA. 

If you are getting an opportunity to join the college, I will suggest you go for it.

NIT Trichy has great placements for branches like CSE and ECE. Most of the recruiting companies give preference to B.Tech students rather than M.Tech. But as far as Communications Engineering is concerned, you will be allowed to appear for placement drives held by semiconductor companies with B.Tech students. 

There are quite a few companies that prefer Communications students over VLSI. Many students end up being placed in dream semiconductor companies. Out of say, 35 students, only 1 or 2 are not placed. The placements are definitely improving over the years.

It is advisable to have basic coding knowledge at least along with your core subject. That way, you will definitely be able to do well.

My friends have studied at IIT Bhubaneswar as well as at NIT Trichy, so based on their experience, both the mentioned Institutes are acknowledged. Apparently, IIT Bhubaneswar has been doing good for the past two years in almost every aspect be it the faculty recruitment, the placement cells, the laboratory facilities and facilities, and academics, etc.

Whereas on the other hand NIT Trichy holds its own unique reputation as far as the companies are concerned that visits the campus. Given that NIT Trichy has a strong aluminum base that makes it one of the top reputed institutes. Still, there are few differences among both the brands being one NIT and the other IIT.

So, if you're really concerned about the brand, the choice can be obvious. However, rather than make it a generalized one, you could focus on your interests if you have any in a specific branch and jot down the options accordingly.

Having known some people studying in both these institutes, I can say that BITS Goa and NIT Trichy both are excellent institutes when it comes to any branch. But if money is not one of your major problems, you can easily opt for CSE at BITS Goa.

• NIT Trichy is recognized and known as the best NIT overall. 
• BITS Goa is higher than most of the NIT’s and IIT’s. 
• The only drawback of BITS Goa is that the fees are a lot.
• For the CSE branch, I would definitely recommend BITS Goa. 
• BITS Goa would be the better option available as it is famous for its CSE department and also because of lots of events and activities it conducts. 
• In BITS Goa you can join the various events conducted and explore your skills and study at the same time. 
• In NIT Trichy academics is given more importance. 

BITS Goa would bring the perfect balance between things and at last you will still come out with a hefty package.

All three colleges fall on the list of top Architecture institutes in India. NIT Calicut and NIT Trichy are known for Architecture as their best programs. Having to know some people studying in these institutes, I can say that though NITs are the best for architecture, Jamia is also at par with them.

• It is obvious that NIT is a much more popular brand than Jamia. But it is still really good when it comes to architecture.
• Jamia has the locational advantage of being situated in the capital city.
• Jamia has better industrial exposure compared to NIT Trichy or Calicut.
• The course curriculum of NITs is more inclined towards the technical side, which is an upside.
• Placements at NITs are definitely better, but Jamia is also not lagging behind.
• The infrastructure is better in the NITs than Jamia, be it labs, seminar halls, library, etc.
• The fees at NITs are a bit higher than Jamia.
• Though students will get better opportunities after graduating from NIT Trichy or Calicut.

Therefore, it is suggested that you opt for NIT Trichy or Calicut for pursuing architecture. If not then you can go for Jamia instead, as it is also a good college.
