Is NIT Agartala safe?
Yes, NIT Agartala is one of the safest colleges in India. The whole campus is highly secured and the campus is residential not only for the students but faculties too. You will find guards roaming around the campus making you feel safe all the time.
The security and care offered to girls is unmatchable. They are required to enter the hostel gate within 6.30 pm and they are expected to keep their whereabouts known. The campus does not tolerate ragging in my form and the seniors are extremely sweet.
NIT Agartala is one of the safest colleges so you can put your worries to rest.

How is the campus life in NIT Agartala?
Honestly, the campus life in NIT Agartala is very disappointing especially if you are coming from a good city. It does not have the infrastructure of big private colleges like Amity or LPU. However, I believe college life is more about the people you are surrounded with and not the infrastructure.
It will be a new experience staying in the Northeast and exploring new cultures and traditions. You will be interacting with the locals and also sharing hostels as well as classes with them.
A few students might face discrimination on the basis of region. The campus has a lot to offer in terms of sports. The faculty are very rigid and unapproachable. The gender ratio is also not very good.
Overall, the campus life at NIT Agartala is a blend of good and bad experiences depending on your company.
Which one is good Tezpur University or NIT Silchar or NIT Agartala?
All three colleges are good engineering colleges and each of them has their unique pros and cons. For instance,
In terms of placements and academics, the preference order would be

In terms of campus life, the preference order would be
- Tezpur University>NIT Agartala>NIT Silchar
As a whole, NITs are well known for their excellent placements, brand name, faculty, and elaborate alumni network whereas Tezpur University is known for its widespread beautiful campus, research culture, and extracurricular activities.
So, you can choose the college that meets your expectations of college life.
Which is better NIT Agartala or HBTI?
One of my friends dropped out of HBTI only to join NIT Agartala EIE. Later he changed his branch to CSE and claimed it to be the best decision of his life.
- NIT Agartala has a better brand image and reputation among industries because of the NIT tag and the status of the Institute Of National Importance.
- It has a more modern and advanced infrastructure than HBTI because it's funded by the central government.
- HBTI has slightly better faculty but that isn't a big issue because, in the end, you have to study on your own.
- Hostel life is fun because you make friends from all over the country whereas HBTI is mainly students from UP.
- You can enjoy a more pleasant climate and lush green surroundings.
- The placements are obviously better than HBTI given the fact that it's a centrally funded institution.
So, go ahead and choose NIT Agartala without any further hesitation!

For students willing to change their branch after the first year, NIT Agartala has the provision of the branch slinging policy wherein you need an overall CGPA of about 9 for the first year.
However, before taking this decision always analyze the pros and cons because the branch does not matter much. Rather your determination and skills matter.
