How good is ECE at NIT Trichy?

Honestly, the academic environment of the ECE branch at NIT Trichy is deteriorating day by day. One of my friends, an ex-student of NIT Trichy, brought light to this matter. He told me that the labs are more focused on report writing than actual work. The exams conducted are based on rote learning and not testing the concepts of the students. They are expected to mug up the concepts even if they haven’t understood them and score good marks. 

However, there are some exceptional cases of professors who are proficient in their respective fields like digital electronics, digital VLSI, signal processing, computer architecture, etc. To do projects under them, you need to have a high CGPA. The placement training sessions are also pretty good with many intellectual questions in the respective topics. 

Ultimately, I will say if you are a true electronics fan then take ECE either in the new IITs or go to IIIT Hyderabad. Coming to NIT Trichy will only waste your time and money.
