No, NITs are definitely not considered of the same level as the new IITs while applying to the US for an MS. But, the fact that IITs are the best brand in India and the second-best brand are NITs, is well known to the admission committees of most of the institutions.
Therefore, making it to top-notch universities is certainly possible; all that you need is good grades, a good GRE score, good SOP, and a few publications.
One of my friends studied at NIT Trichy. According to him, their coding culture is really good and consistent. Here are some things I got to know about while discussing:
Last but not least we can say that the coding culture of NIT Trichy is extremely vast that can help students to develop their skills along with the various experiences.
NIT Trichy is considered one of the best NITs, especially for computer science. The cutoff for the CSE branch at NIT Trichy closes around 634 for OS General and 4358 for HS General, according to 2020 trends. Considering your marks the expected rank will be around 3500. As per previous years, admission stats and cutoff getting CSE with 212 marks will be difficult.
It also depends on factors like whether you are eligible for the home state advantage or not. Students also get an advantage based on their caste as a certain percentage of seats are kept reserved for them. If you belong to the SC, ST, or OBC category quota then you may get computer science. To be on the safer side a score of 280+ is sufficient to get computer science in NIT Trichy.
With 212 marks you will definitely get a chance in CSE at comparatively newer NITs such as Durgapur, Jamshedpur, Patna etc.
If you're trying to decide what to study at university, it can be overwhelming. You should consider CSE at NIT Trichy, instead of going to IIT Madras for metallurgy. Here are some reasons why you should choose computer science engineering:
North Indians aren’t treated any differently in NIT Trichy. Students at the institute are friendly. You will get to meet many like-minded people on campus. Try to interact with everyone and not only people from North India.
The localities such as hostel gatekeepers, and shop owners are supportive. They understand that you are from a different region and may have trouble communicating.
The placement cell is very proactive. Companies like management and software companies also participate. They have a 100% placement record. Getting a job is not a very difficult task here.

Chemical Engineering is an enjoyable course, only if you are interested in it. The seniors here are involved in a variety of things. They have internships in many of the highly reputed colleges both within and outside India. Because of their skills, they have been able to bag some really good placements and some of them have even got into really good colleges for their Masters. A lot depends on your attitude towards that particular subject and your communication skills. You should have leadership qualities.
There are lots of high-paying companies that go to college and almost every student gets placed in one or the other company.

The statistics vary every year. The placement may get better in coming years. Due to the consistently good performance by the students.
The required cutoff partially depends upon the difficulty level of the NIMCET paper since it varies from one year to another.
However, for the previous two years, NITK was the conductor of the NIMCET exam and was actually announcing the ranks based on the scores predetermined by the authorities. For further securing admission at NIT Trichy, you are required to score around 800 or above if only the paper is comparatively easy and you belong from the general category.
In case the paper is somewhat moderate in its difficulty level, then achieving 700 and above can help you secure admission to NIT Trichy. But, if it is undeniably difficult, then 500+ is supposed to be quite enough for securing a seat at NIT Trichy.
NIT Trichy placements are good for Instrumentation & Control Engineering. Microsoft, P&G, Reliance Industries, etc. are some of the major recruiters that take part in the placement drive.

If you are considering pursuing an MBA, it is advisable to not opt for engineering as it may not be relevant to achieving your goals. Instead, studying economics could prove to be beneficial.
If you are looking for a specific course at NIT Trichy, it is recommended taking up Production Engineering. This is considered to be the best course for someone with managerial ambitions.
Now, you may be skeptical about someone suggesting a particular stream of engineering for an MBA. However, here are some of the suggestions:
On a lighter note, the course is not very demanding, so you will have plenty of time to prepare for entrance exams or pursue other interests.
