There are several reasons why NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, and NIT Warangal stand out the most among other IITs. 

• These institutes have a rich legacy of almost half a century, a huge campus, and an elaborate alumni pool. Moreover. They enjoy excellent location which is a very crucial factor.

• The 3 NITs have a strong Training and Placement Cell that helps the students prepare well for the interviews and invite the best companies.
• Additionally, the media has rightly portrayed all the big and small achievements of both faculty and student. Such kind of publicity helps these 3 NITs to stand out. 

So, NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, and NIT Surathkal have many reasons to stand out and they deserved the hype. 

You need not worry as an NRI or foreign national, you will be treated like any other student at NIT Warangal. One of my friends got into NITW through DASA and he felt no discrimination of any sort during his stay at the campus. As an NIT Warangal student, you will get equal opportunities irrespective of your background and the form of your admission. International hostels are provided with better facilities and International students are given single rooms from the first year itself. 

Many DASA students are high achievers. There are 10 pointers, gold medalists, club general secretaries, and high package holders among international students as well. The college has very helpful seniors and you can also seek help from your peers. The teachers treat you according to your performance and your effort in their subject. Everyone is given equal opportunities regardless of their background. 

Some teachers, however, might behave a little differently around international students and point at them at times. 

Everyone at NIT Warangal participates in clubs and fests with equal zeal and there is a wonderful coordination among all the students.

Life at NIT Warangal is wonderful, it will teach you time management, responsibility, networking and building good relationships with your peers and seniors. You will learn to use the resources provided to you in the best possible manner. As a DASA student, you won’t face any uncomfortable situations or hard times during your stay at NITW.

NIT Warangal will teach you a lot. Here are some lessons that I learned during my B.Tech from NITW- 

1. Enjoy as much as you want at NIT Warangal but maintain good grades. Maintain at least an 8 CGPA. A 7 CGPA or below won’t leave you with many options, especially with regard to placements.
2. It is comforting to be part of a group but don’t limit yourself and talk to other people as well. Doing so will give you a lot of exposure and you will learn networking. Also, the connections one makes at NIT Warangal stay for a lifetime.
3. Don’t just study for good grades, study to enhance your knowledge. This is the right time to learn new things.
4. Don’t sacrifice your hobbies. Maintain a balance between your studies and your hobbies.
5. Don’t fall into peer pressure and accept a job just because it pays well. Get into something that you will actually enjoy doing. Peer pressure during placement season is high. Also, your parents will tell you to “settle down”. But it's important that you choose a career that you can pursue with as much passion and zeal, even after 5-6 years. 
6. Respect your professors and try to learn from them.
7. Just take it easy, everything will fall into place.

These are some important life lessons that I learnt at NIT Warangal. I wanted to share these so that you don’t commit the mistakes that I did. 

I completed my B.Tech from NIT Warangal a few years back. These are my experiences-

1. At NIT Warangal, you will get the opportunity to explore a new culture and learn about the Telugu people’s festivals, lifestyle, etc. You will miss this learning opportunity if you choose a college near your hometown. NITW will teach you to respect others’ cultures and adapt to a completely different place.
2. While in the South, you will get the chance to taste authentic South Indian delicacies. The mess food is really disappointing though.
3. You might face some language barriers with your faculty and the administration. This may overwhelm you at times. However, rest assured that they are most probably not discriminating against you for being an outsider. 
4. Whenever you feel lonely and not understood, try to figure out if you were wrong somewhere. Try to be strong, correct your mistakes and face the obstacles head-on.
5. You will get to hear the sweetest version of Hindi- the Hyderabadi Hindi. You will also watch plenty of Tollywood movies and realize how brilliantly some of them are made. 

All of these are my experiences as a North Indian at NIT Warangal. NITW is an amazing place for your growth. Also, through this college, I got to live in the South and explore a totally different culture and place.

My brother completed his B.Tech first year at NIT Warangal. These are his views about NITW-

1. Hostels- Boys hostels at NIT Warangal are well-maintained. The new girls' hostels are good but the old ones, Sarojini Hall and Priyadarshini Hall, need improvement. For first-year girl students, a single room is shared by four individuals and you will be allotted a room in Sarojini Hall. For first-year boys, the room is shared by two students. First-year students have a hostel curfew of 9 p.m. which is extended to 11 p.m. for seniors. Girls and boys are not allowed into each other’s hostels. You may not find the campus gender-neutral.
2. Sports and Extracurriculars- You will find all the equipment for sports and extracurricular activities. The campus will provide you with all the facilities. But in terms of encouragement for the same, there is none. You can pursue extracurriculars for your all around development.
3. Studies- NIT Warangal is known for its academic excellence. The faculty over there is good and the labs have all the necessary equipment.
