Is NIT Agartala among the top NIT's?

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.
