Having known some people who graduated from NIT Trichy and NIT Warangal I can say that there is no demand for either of these two subjects in the industry.
Both the colleges are of similar reputation in the industry, hence choose the one that suits your location. This will ease your transportation.
The placements at both colleges are good. Make a calculative decision considering the field you are interested in.
Honesty, discipline, and the values of the South Indian people and the states make them stand out. This might not be making sense to you, but will definitely try to elucidate the same here. Also, opinions vary among people.
One of my friends studied at NIT Trichy and he has lived in Hyderabad as well.
The students in these institutions are dedicated to learning and so are the teachers towards teaching. Moreover, the rules and regulations are followed strictly in these institutions.
Top NITs like Surathkal, Trichy, and Warangal are considered close to if not at par with old IITs and definitely better than some new IITs.
Unless you are from the top IITs, admission to foreign universities for an MS does not depend on the college you are from. Many students from top IITs go to foreign universities every year. For non-IITians what matters is the project, internships, UG research quality, and extracurriculars. In fact, the sole reason IITians make it to top foreign universities is their strong determination and grasp of these aspects. Yes, the IIT alumni network does help you in the research internship but ultimately it’s your efforts that matter.
So even if you are not an IITian, keep working hard and you are likely to get admission to top foreign universities.
Among the above two institutes, NIT Warangal is the definite choice, considering the factors of alumni record, placements, etc. The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the institutes.

From the above table, it can be inferred that the highest number of students as well as the highest packages was bagged by BTech students. The highest salary was bagged by the B.Tech CSE students but the highest number of students were placed from the ECE batch.
I have said this many times and will say it again, one should never underestimate the value a CGPA holds in shaping your career. Don’t fall for the trap ‘Grades don’t Matter’ because they do and to a great extent. This can be further understood through the following anecdote that revolves around two of my closest friends.
Both of them were CSE students at NIT Rourkela. Both were regular in their classes and completed their assignments on time. However, by the end of the 3rd year, one friend scored a CGPA of 6.90 while the other ended up getting a 7.05 CGPA .
During the placements, most top companies like Microsoft, Uber, De-shaw, Arcesium, Visa, and Samsung set their cutoffs to 7 CGPA. Students who did not qualify for this weren’t eligible to sit for their placements. The friend with the higher CGPA appeared in the interview for several companies and ended up with a good role and package while the other friend with slightly less but below 7 CGP could not even sit for their placements. Eventually, he got placed in an average company with a low package.
The core lesson from this anecdote is that CGPA matters a lot during placements, especially for the best companies. Hope my answer clarified the importance of a CGPA for a BTech in CSE student at NIT Warangal.
MHRD ranks colleges on the basis of various aspects besides academics. One of them is infrastructure. Unfortunately, NIT Calicut has a poor infrastructure in comparison to other engineering colleges. Weak administrative measures are to blame for this. The college authorities are not utilizing the funds provided by the central government to the fullest extent.
We can only hope that the infrastructure and other facilities at NIT Calicut improve. If this happens, the rankings of NITC will also improve.
One of my friends had to choose between EEE in a good IIT and CSE in one of the top NITs. He was specifically inclined towards CSE and knew he would end up with a Software job even if he took EEE. Moreover, he knew that if he chose EEE, he would have to work extra hard to maintain a good CGPA, learn coding, and complete additional courses to upgrade his skills.
All his relatives and friends were against him joining NIT and giving up the opportunity to join IIT. However, he did not change his mind and chose NIT Warangal CSE. To date, he has zero regrets about his decision. He realized that he learned a lot in CSE that he could have Moises had he taken EEE. Many of his friends in EEE had to work extra hard just to be on par with CSE students. He was grateful for his smart decision.
Placements-wise, there isn’t any major difference in the statistics of NIT Warangal and IITs. Being one of the top 3 NITs, it’s highly respected by recruiters and thus has a good placement scenario.
He was very satisfied with his decision of choosing NIT Warangal CSE over EEE at a good IIT. After all, branches matter more than institutes!
NIT Warangal has a quiet vibrant and dynamic campus life with a lot happening throughout the year. Some days students prefer to have dinner outside while sometimes they relax and have dinner on the campus Food Street itself. Often the scorching heat and intolerable climate conditions demotivate the students while sometimes the cool breeze is a big source of motivation. Students go through a rollercoaster f emotions and experiences that make their campus life happening and memorable.
The beauty of the campus leaves the students in awe who love taking good photos of the serene campus. Other times students are busy preparing for their exams. A number of cultural, and social events take place around the year.
In a nutshell, the campus life at NIT Warangal is a perfect blend of both fun and academics!
Before beginning with the answer, you should know that the score you have got is quite good and there are chances of you to get a seat in NIT Trichy.
Here’s the process of NIT Trichy:
Category | NIT Trichy CSE (GATE Rank) | NIT Warangal CSE (GATE Rank) |
General | 807 - 643 | 838 - 655 |
EWS | 772 - 616 | 774 - 639 |

On the other hand, there is a high possibility that NIT Warangal also has the same procedure but my brother wasn’t sure about it.
