Why is NIT Agartala so underrated?

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.
