How good is NIT Trichy in MS (Research in CSE) program?

NIT Trichy is a reputed institution that will provide you with a great platform. However, the MS (Research in CSE) program depends on your area of interest and the guide under whom you are working. 

NIT Trichy provides satisfactory research facilities like Research Labs, Journal Access, Accommodation, Library, etc. The guide/ research supervisor selection depends upon a professor’s interest and vacancy under them. This is decided after your interview process. 

You should go through the faculty list to see which professors share your area of interest. Then after your selection for the MS Research in CS program, you can go to those professors and ask for their guidance.

The first year in general is dedicated to completing the coursework. A minimum CGPA of 7.5 is required. The NIT Trichy classroom faculty is good and helpful if you approach them with a problem. You can also discuss your queries with fellow students.

MS (Research in CSE) requires 2 international conferences or 1 journal to get a degree. The average course duration is 2.5 years, but it can extend to 3 years as well. If you work in a planned manner, you can complete the course in 2 years.

For higher studies, MS Research gives you the right start. One of my seniors got into NUS Singapore because of the quality of his research papers. Placement opportunities are as good as the M.Tech CSE branch with companies such as Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, IBM ISL, Qualcomm, Morgan Stanley, PayPal, Oracle, etc. hiring MS Research students. Only a few companies do not allow MS Research students to sit for placements.

With hard work and dedication, you can do wonders as an NIT Trichy student.
