NIT Agartala is a decent option in terms of academics, hostel, facilities, studies, and placements. Academics are decent. But there aren’t many chances for research. Professors are well-experienced and supportive but most of the time you need to depend on self-study. 

Being a Central Govt. college, NITA offers good facilities. The departmental library, workshops, and laboratories are well-equipped. It offers virtual class facilities. ISRO has an innovation incubation center on the campus of NITA. 

The institute has a decent placement record. According to the recent highlights of NIT Agartala placements, the highest and average CTC offered was INR 36 LPA, and 5 LPA, respectively.

Which is better, NIT Silchar, NIT Agartala, or NIT Mizoram?

AB

NIT Silchar is a far better option than both NIT Agartala and NIT Mizoram. There are a number of strong reasons that support my claim I have listed the most important ones

  • Nit Silchar has an excellent placement scenario for all branches. NIT Silchar average package stood at INR 13.58 LPA, NIT Agartala median package stood at INR 7 LPA, and NIT Mizoram median package 2021 stood at INR 6.80 LPA. So NIT Silchar definitely has much better placements than the other two colleges.
  • NIT Mizoram BTech was ranked 88 out of 170 in India 2023, NIT Agartala BTech ranking is 91 out of 200 in India 2023 while NIT Silchar BTech ranking is 40 out of 200 in India. The drastic difference in rankings proves that NIT Silchar is way ahead of than other two NITs.
  • The rate of development is very high in NIT Silchar in every sector.
  • The campus of NIT Silchar is beautiful and huge, spreading across 600+ acres. It has a better campus and infrastructure than the other two NITs.

So, it’s advisable to give preference to NIT Silchar over NIT Agartala and NIT Mizoram due to the above reasons.

Why is NIT Agartala so underrated?

PS
Prerona Sarkar Posted On : September 18th, 2023
B.Tech in EE from National Institute of Technology, Agartala (2018)

Upon joining NIT Agartala, I had a completely different experience from what I expected-

  • Accessibility- NIT Agartala is easily accessible. There are flights to Tripura, with discount rates too. There is also a direct train from Tripura to New Delhi. You won’t face any connectivity issues.
  • Mess food- The food is very good over there. Contrary to popular belief, you won’t face any problems regarding the food served.
  • Location- Tripura is a very peaceful state, and the campus offers a nurturing environment.
  • Surroundings- You’ll get fresh air, lots of open space, and good weather conditions at NIT Agartala.
  • Infrastructure- The college infrastructure is at par with top IITs and NITs. The hostels are filled with all facilities. Aryabhatta Hostel and Rabindranath Tagore Hostel are top-notch in terms of infrastructure.
  • Innovation Incubation Centre- ISRO built an innovation incubation centre at NIT Agartala. This has given the students an opportunity to work with the world’s leading space agency.
  • Equipment- The college has advanced equipment like EM, AFM, SEM, FESEM, XRD, Supercomputer, etc. It is difficult to access such machines, even at top institutions like BARC Mumbai and IIT Delhi.

NIT Agartala is probably underrated because people assume that its location and eating habits are very different. It is assumed that Tripura is inaccessible, and suffers communal riots. But all of these assumptions are baseless. 

NIT Agartala is a really good engineering college. It deserves much more praise and recognition. I owe all my success to this wonderful institution.

How is NIT Agartala in terms of academics, hostels, facilities, studies and placements?

Studied at National Institute of Technology, Agartala (2019)

NIT Agartala is quite old and was established in 1965 as Tripura Engineering College. As a student of this institution, here are my honest reviews of it-

  • Academics- The college offers average academics, but research facilities are lacking. But like other central government colleges, it receives good funding. The faculty is below average and students mostly depend on self-study. CSE, ECE, EE, ME, and CIVIL are good branches that you can opt for at this institution. The curriculum is at par with top institutions. 
  • Hostels and Facilities- The facilities are top-notch. Libraries are well-maintained with one being a completely digital library. Workshops and labs are well-equipped and have virtual class facilities. NITA hosts a supercomputer, and ISRO established an innovation incubation centre on campus. The college has good wifi and sports facilities. The hostels are quite good but the mess food is below average.
  • Location and Connectivity- Agartala is a developed but remote city. Air is the main means of connectivity because rail connectivity is quite poor. NITA is in a remote area, 23 kilometers away from the city, but buses, autos and vans are available. 
  • Placement- CSE placements are average, but this is not the case with other branches. Because of its remote location, the college is visited by few companies. IT companies like Infosys, IBM, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, etc. visit for mass recruitments. Product-based IT companies like Samsung, Oracle, Info Edge, etc. also hire students. Non-IT companies like MuSigma, L&T, Kirloskar, Vedanta, etc. are also seen during the placement season. PSUs visit towards the end of the placement season. Just the top students can expect to be offered placements. 

Overall, NIT Agartala is a good college with low placements. Based on this information, you can decide whether or not to opt for it.

I am a student at NIT Agartala, so I’ll provide you with some details on the placement scenario at my college.

The placements are pretty decent and are improving each year. Core companies- TATA Motors, L&T Construction, Maruti Suzuki, FIAT, etc. visit the campus. PSUs like NTPC, PowerGrid, HPCL, and BPCL, etc. also visit for core placements. Google, Sapientnitro, ITC Limited, Polaris, Oracle, Virtusa, HCL, etc. are the top recruiters in the IT sector.

Students are placed both on campus and off campus. The highest packages are grabbed by CSE students. Various startup brands also visit the campus for placements. Some students are offered multiple job profiles, while some receive PPOs in their pre final years. 

Practice good communication skills and acquire sound knowledge of your branch. If you do this, you’ll surely get placed in a good brand.

Why don't people prefer NIT Agartala and Silchar?

SG

Studied Computer Science at National Institute of Technology, Agartala

Before joining NIT Agartala, even I had many misconceptions about this institution. These were mostly regarding the connectivity, environment, culture, diet, infrastructure, faculty and placements.

Now that I have experienced life at NITA, I am in a position to break these misconceptions about NITA and NITS-

  • Lack of connectivity- Maharaja Bir Bikram airport is just 26 km away from NIT Agartala, and Jirania railway station is just 3 kilometers away. NIT Silchar is just 35 km away from Silchar Airport, and the railway station is 10 km away from the campus. These towns have an absence of traffic jams and efficient transport services.
  • Terrorism problem- This is a complete myth. Both Agartala and Silchar are really peaceful places.
  • Culture and People- No, the people aren’t ‘uncivilized’. Tripura has one of the highest literacy rates in India. Silchar is an eminent trading center and knowledge hub in the Northeast. Both have medical colleges, research centers, and central universities. 
  • Infrastructure- NIT Agartala has one of the most advanced infrastructures among Indian colleges. NITS has all the infrastructural facilities. Some facilities included in NITA and NITS are- Supercomputers, Scanning electron microscope, and ISRO innovation incubation centre (NITA). NITS has Asia’s largest digital library. Besides that, both have good workshops and labs, a modern sports complex, auditoriums, restaurants, wifi facility, a swimming pool and a gym.
  • Placements- Both offer decent placements. The average package goes to around 5-7 LPA for them. 
  • Food- The food at mess is good. It caters to the dietary needs of people from all across India, and even foreign lands.
  • Faculty- The faculty is excellent at NITS. At NITA, some teachers aren’t good while others are very helpful and learned. 

I hope that you will consider NIT Agartala and NIT Silchar for your higher studies. Both are very good colleges.

How good is NIT Agartala?

SM
Spandita Majumder Posted On : September 18th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Agartala (2019)

First I would like to tell you about some pros and cons of NIT Agartala-

Pros -

  1. Peaceful and green campus spread across 350 acres.
  2. The weather in Agartala is great.
  3. Dedicated canteens for various foods- South Indian, North Indian, Bengali, etc. on campus.
  4. Decent placements that are improving each year. Companies like SAP Labs, Oracle, Samsung R&D, Book MY Show, Huawei, Amdocs, Tata Motors and Maruti visit our campus during the placement season.
  5. Top-notch infrastructure. Some highlights of the same are Supercomputers, EM, AFM, FESEM, XRD, Scanning electron microscope, and ISRO innovation incubation centre. 

Cons-

  1. Agartala is remotely located. So you won’t have access to Dominos, Pizzahut, Fun Cinemas and malls.
  2. The campus is located in the hills with poor roadways. So transportation is a major issue. 

NIT Agartala is one of the fastest-growing NITs. Don’t reject it simply for its geographical location. Based on my experience, NITA is better than most private engineering colleges and half of the NITs.

Is NIT Agartala safe for a non-Northeastern student?

A
Admin Posted On : September 18th, 2023

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma when he got both NIT Silchar and NIT Agartala. Since both the colleges are located in the North-East, many relatives and adults advised him to look for another institute. He decided to contact a senior and after a healthy discussion with a 4th year senior at NT Agartala, he decided to join the college.

Most of his batchmates are from Bihar and UP. A few are from Bhopal and Kolkata too. Around 30 to 50 students in every branch are from the South. The locals are very friendly and outgoing.

Today, he feels proud to be a part of North-Eastern College despite being from UP. He got the opportunity to experience diverse cultures and traditions. Moreover, the place is the perfect getaway from the scorching summer heat. The infrastructure is infused with natural beauty and makes the ambiance serene. 

Overall, Agartala is a very peaceful place and has a huge non-North-Eastern intake so your security isn’t a big concern here.

Is NIT Agartala among the top NIT's?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 18th, 2023

Sadly no. NIT Agartala is nowhere near the top NITs. To understand this better, let’s divide all the NITs into 5 levels

  • Level 1:  NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal, NIT Allahabad
  • Level 2: NIT Nagpur, NIT Calicut, NIT Rourkela
  • Level 3:  MNIT Jaipur, NIT Bhopal, NIT Surat, NIT Durgapur
  • Level 4: NIT Silchar, NIT Kurukshetra, NIT Agartala, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Raipur, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Patna, NIT Srinagar
  • Level 5: All the new NITs founded in or after 2010

So NIT Agartala falls in the 4 category. The main reason for its poor reputation is its location in the North East. It’s also the reason why it does not get much limelight despite being a very established engineering college and one of the old NITs.

What are your reviews about NIT Agartala?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 18th, 2023

Based on the experience of a friend here are some points regarding NIT Agartala

  • Honestly, NIT Agartala is not at par with the standard of the Institute of National Importance. The administration and faculties do not give students access to the facilities.
  • Most of the faculties have no teaching abilities , and there is a huge communication gap between students and professors.
  • Students are not allowed to do projects from the second year and it's also very hard to get a good CGPA. 
  • Only the CSE and ECE departments have modern infrastructure and the rest of the departments are not taken care of. There is also bias in how students of different branches are treated. 
  • The hostel facilities of the institute are excellent and the buildings are beautifully designed. However, students are restricted from bringing basic electrical equipment to boil milk, water, and heat Maggie.
  • The tender of the mess food always goes to the same company and students constantly lodge complaints regarding the quality of the food.
  • The institute has a 75% attendance policy that many find illogical and rigid.

Overall, NIT Agartala will give you a lot of good memories and friends but is still lacking on the academic front.
