How good is NIT Trichy for pursuing Mtech. Mechanical?

I have a few friends from NIT Trichy and according to them, curriculum and placement wise, NIT Trichy is best for doing an M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering. It is even considered better than many IITs. Here is a brief overview of the course.

Another advantage of doing an MTech from NIT Trichy is that there is no Teaching Assistantship. Although you may have to handle labs once in a while.
