My friend is currently pursuing B.Tech from NIT Raipur in the mechanical department. His honest opinion says that you should go for metallurgy at NIT Trichy. Here’s why
So, if you simply want to get into a better place then choose NIT Trichy. This is because you can get the advantage of branch sliding anyhow. However, if you don’t want to take risk of not getting the desired branch, then go for NIT Raipur.
At last, sort your preferences and know your sole aim. Because in the long run, your happiness and satisfaction are what matters the most!
As one of my friends studied at NIT Trichy, I might favor it among the others. Also I do not have much idea about the other mentioned colleges. Do interact with some ex-students of these colleges to get a proper understanding of them.
Let me share why I favor pursuing Chemical Engineering at NIT Trichy over other colleges:
Categories | Chemical Engineering at NIT Trichy |
Course Fee | 5.65 lakh |
Course Duration | 4 years |
Highest CTC | 18 LPA |
Average CTC | 7.5 LPA |
Lowest CTC | 4 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | ITC, Saint Gobain, Reliance, Shell India, etc. |
Therefore, it is suggested that you go for Chemical Engineering at NIT Trichy. It is a reputed institution and will help you in shaping your future ahead. It is the best among all the NITs.
Among BITS Goa ECE and NIT Trichy EEE, the latter is a better option. NIT Trichy will give you better exposure and opportunities.
Most companies that visit the campus placement of NIT Trichy allow EEE students to sit for placement. You can appear in interviews for IT, Management job roles along with core job roles. Also, PSU visits the campus placements and mostly prefers EEE students for recruitments. Which can’t be said for many campuses. Here are the recent placement highlights for NIT Trichy.
Average CTC | 6 LPA |
Placement average | 92% |
Major recruiters | Wipro, HP, HCL, Volvo |
BITS Goa is also a good option but comparably you will get better opportunities at NIT Trichy.
The MBA students of DoMS NIT Trichy will not be significantly affected by the presence of IIM Trichy during the placement season. NIT Trichy is a well-known technical institute and around 60% of the companies that come for Techies also come for NIT Trichy. This means that there is a set of companies that are already open to hiring NIT Trichy students. In the past few years, more and more companies have opened up placements for DoMS, increasing the percentage placement conversion from these companies. The Training and Placement Committee also works to bring in more companies that align with the interests of the students.
Additionally, there are alumni connections that can be utilized. There may be some challenges with companies based in Chennai or Bangalore coming from BIM, but IIM Trichy has a different set of companies and therefore will not greatly impact NIT Trichy in that regard.
Comparing the two NITs we know NIT Trichy has a better ranking than NIT Jalandhar. It also holds a stronger brand name. Unless you are extremely interested in Software, I suggest Production Engineering is a better choice. Some points to prove my opinion are:
NIT Trichy ranks in the top 15 engineering institutes in the country from a placement perspective.
More companies visit for campus placements like Amazon, Microsoft, Flipkart, and Cisco.
NIT Trichy has an upper hand in faculty, infrastructure, competitive environment, peers, resources, curriculum, labs, and alumni network.
Many finances, banking, consulting, etc. based roles are offered at NIT Trichy and these opportunities are considerably low at mid-level NITs such as NIT Jalandhar.
Post Graduation, if you wish to switch sectors then the brand name of NIT Trichy will help you along the way.
So don't lose a much stronger brand simply because of a simple stream issue. Years down the line, your credibility will be determined by the brand of NIT Trichy solely and not by production engineering at NIT Trichy.
BITS Pilani accepts international students who have attempted SAT. To be eligible you will need to appear for the Grade 12 (qualifying) examination, SAT, and SAT subject tests (in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics level 2). 2390 in SAT is a good score and you are likely to get selected for admission.
NIT Trichy will be difficult to get especially for CSE. The required cutoff is quite high for NIT Trichy. However, you can still apply for the program and if you are lucky you may get chosen. Generally, it is difficult because NIT Trichy is considered as one of the best NIT’s and it ranks over many IIT’s. You can also go through Google’s “DASA program in India” for admissions in other branches in different NIT’s.
Even though both institutes are good, one has the tag of being an IIT, and the other ranks #9 on the NIRF ranking scale; however, they can't be compared this way. One of my friends is from IIT Gandhinagar, I’ll describe it for you.
Career-
Internships
Infrastructure-
Moreover, there are no hostel timings or restrictions on movement for both boys and girls. The course structure is also very flexible and focuses more on an individual's interest and expansion of skills. IIT Gandhinagar is a new IIT and is still trying to establish its reputation as an IIT, whereas NIT Trichy has an excellent reputation that matches that of 6 of the old IITs. Some of my friends claim that it provides better funding for research.
IIIT Allahabad does not offer CSE as far as all the NITs in India are concerned, NIT Trichy is the best. The CSE department is quite well recognized too in the institute.

When it comes to IIITs, these mainly focus on academic life and not many extracurricular activities. So, if you are getting admission at both these colleges, you should go with NIT Trichy.
ECE is in any way superior to Civil Engineering. NIT Trichy is also a really good institute, so don't just go for the IIT tag. Taking Civil in a new IIT (or even in an older IIT) will limit your options, in terms of location or something else.
You might not get as many opportunities as you might get for ECE, given that the packages offered for ECE branches are comparatively always better.

If you had the option of choosing a circuital branch in IIT BBS, then it would be highly recommended to you, but since you are considering Civil, it is a better choice.
FMS BHU is the best among all of these. There is no comparison with any other colleges.
However, if we look at NIT Trichy vs PUMBA, NIT Trichy seems to be a little better than PUMBA in terms of placements and their fee structure is almost the same.
