How is Physics at NIT Agartala?
NIT Agartala is making remarkable progress because of its contribution to higher studies, and the students who join the institution each year. The Physics department of this college offers tremendous growth opportunities, given that you are ready to grab them.
Some of the benefits of joining the Physics department at NIT Agartala are-
- The batch strength is small, around 20 students. So with some effort, you can become one of the top rankers in your batch. This will help you during internships, and in creating a favorable image for yourself in front of the faculty.
- The Physics faculty remains involved in research work, so it is easier to acquire a research internship during your second year. These research internships will be very useful if you apply for higher studies in foreign universities.
- NITA allows its students to drop out of the dual degree programs. If you wish to complete your pg from some other college or sit for campus placements, you can drop out from the integrated MS/M.Tech course.
- With a good reputation in front of your professors, you can easily acquire a recommendation letter from them. This will be of use when applying for foreign internships, or an MS at foreign universities.
- The college has top-notch infrastructure, faculty, research facilities, campus and hostels.
If you maintain good grades and a good reputation in front of your professors, the Physics department of NITA will open numerous opportunities for you.
How is instrumentation engineering in NIT Agartala? What are the placement opportunities and how will it look like in future?
NIT Agartala Instrumentation Engineering started functioning in 2009 so isn’t a very old branch. As a result, it does not have a very elaborate faculty and alumni pool.
The infrastructure and facilities are similar to other branches. The lab facilities are great with modern instruments and the professors are very cooperative and student friendly. The placements are decent too but you will have to invest extra efforts to procure the best results. You will require proficiency in a few programming languages, Data Structure, or any other such courses. This will pave your way to getting placed in a top IT firm.
In reality, NIT Agartala's core placement scenario isn’t very bright, and only a handful of around 2-3 core companies visit NITA for Instrumentation. The packages offered aren’t very promising. The last few years, however, have witnessed frequent visits of PSUs, that recruit quite a few students every year. However, getting placed in a PSU requires genuine knowledge about your branch and clarity of basic concepts.
In all, Instrumentation is a decent branch offering a plethora of opportunities given that you are willing to work hard.
How is NIT AGARTALA for doing an MTech in VLSI and nanotechnology?
NIT Agartala is best suited for people who have been struggling to secure a good GATE rank. Here you get multiple opportunities like pursuing an MTech in VLSI design alongside preparing for exams like ESE. Instead of believing in others, it's better to visit the institute personally and see for yourself if it suits your expectations or not.
- You can prepare for exams in your free time and also for the PSU interview.
- You will become more determined and strong when you leave the institute
- You will master self-learning here.
- You will have access to excellent internet service on campus.
- The flight tickets to and fro the college are very cheap so commuting is not an issue.
NIT Agartala can be considered a decent option if you have no better choice for an MTech.
For civil engineering, what should be my preference order, NIT Agartala, NIT Jamshedpur, or BIT Mesra?
All the three colleges are good. However, according to me, NIT JSR and BIT Mesra are better than NIT Agartala. For a core Engineering branch though, NIT JSR is a better choice over BIT Mesra. So your preference order for Civil should be NIT JSR> BIT Mesra> NIT Agartala.
Here are a few comparison points between NIT JSR and BIT Mesra to helTithi agp you choose between the two-
- Academic Infrastructure- The infrastructure at BIT Mesra is better than NIT JSR. However, NIT JSR has a new academic building and the old academic building underwent renovation some time back.
- Hostel Infrastructure- The hostel infrastructure of NIT JSR is much superior with the rooms and galleries in very good condition.
- Placements- For core branches, the placements are a bit better at NIT JSR.
- The teacher-student ratio is better at BIT Mesra.
- BIT Mesra is a private college, so the maintenance of campus, classrooms, etc. is much better. However, its semester fees are much higher than NIT JSR.
- NIT JSR carries the ‘NIT’ tag which holds value if you go for your higher studies, and may also open more job opportunities for you.
- For CAT, UPSC, IES, GATE, etc. aspirants, NIT JSR has a lesser attendance pressure and allows more free time that you can then use for your preparation.
- Curriculum load- The curriculum load is more at BIT Mesra than NIT JSR.
- The girls:boys student ratio is better at BIT Mesra.
- The study environment is almost the same at both.
BIT Mesra is a better option for CSE. However, for a core branch, NIT JSR is a better choice. My brother chose Civil at NIT JSR over Civil at BIT Mesra and he did not regret his decision. Also, never choose an institution based off of NIRF rankings because they consider many factors, and many of them are irrelevant for you.
Is NIT Agartala better than any other private colleges?
Apart from a few private colleges like BITS Pilani, NIT Agartala is certainly better than private colleges. Here you will have the opportunity to study under some of the most well-educated and experienced faculties. Moreover, the past few years have witnessed a steady increase in the number of IT against visiting for placements. The academic ambiance is much better than in private colleges and your peers will be some of the most intellectual people in the region. Chances are, you can get placed at a PSU as almost every year, around 10–15 people are placed in PSU from NIT Agartala. This is a major advantage NIT Agartala has over private colleges other than the low fees it charges.
The most coveted departments of NIT Agartala are CSE, ECE, and Mechanical. The institute boasts of a peaceful and beautiful location and campus which is a boon for nature lovers. However, here are a few cons of the institute you must consider while choosing other private colleges
- It's very remotely located and its location might be an issue if you are not from North East
- You won't be able to experience the fast-paced city life here.
- Food is also a major issue here especially if you are a vegetarian.
Overall, I do think NIT Agartala is better than most private colleges.
Which is the better option, Northeast NIT (Agartala) or IIIT Tiruchirappalli?
As a student of NIT Agartala, I will try to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of my college in relation to IIIT Trichy-
- Location- Location is the main factor in which NIT Agartala lags behind IIIT Trichy. Though Agartala has train, rail and air connectivity, it feels a bit disconnected from the other parts of the country.
- Courses Offered- NIT Agartala is quite old, and was originally established in 1965. It offers a number of B.Tech courses- Bio Engineering, Chemical, Civil, CSE, EE, ECE, Electronics & Instrumentation, Mechanical and Production. On the other hand, IIIT Trichy offers B.Tech CSE and ECE only.

- Placements- NITA is very old, so it offers a stronger alumni network and better placement opportunities. Some of the companies that recruit from NITA are- Google, NTPC, SapientNitro, Indian Oil, Cognizant, Tata, ITC Limited, Vedanta, HCL, among others. NITA offers good placements for core branches.
Overall, NIT Agartala is a superior engineering college. Apart from B.Tech, NITA offers integrated programs as well. These are- BS+MS in Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry, and integrated M.Tech in Engineering Physics or Computational Mathematics.
How is NIT Srinagar in comparison to NIT Silchar and NIT Agartala for a student from Delhi-NCR?
One of my friends from Delhi is pursuing MTech from NIT Silchar. He claims it to be the best college in the North East at least for North Indians. However, the quality of food served is not very good and there are many varieties of veg food around the campus. The campus life is vibrant but it's better to go for other NITs in the North. NIT Silchar is a decent choice if you are getting CSE, ECE or Mechanical else go for CSE in NIT Agartala or NIT Srinagar. Also, if your goal is to pursue higher studies, then go for NIT Agartala as it has better connectivity from Delhi, the hub of coaching institutes.
