Although many are here pointing out the flaws in NIT Trichy that might make it impossible to become a top 3 technical institute in India, people fail to understand that an institution of national importance is expected to address these flaws at a minimum. NIT Trichy is an educational institute and not a company that would focus on making its customers happy.
However, if I were to point out the major reason behind its bleak chances of becoming the top 3, then it would be a lack of effective leadership. We aren’t sure if the fact that NIT Trichy would have passionate leaders in the future especially because the recruitment process is not transparent and lacks alumni involvement. Additionally, the directors and HODs have an absence of vision, leadership personality, and biases.
So, in order to emerge as a top engineering college, NIT Trichy needs to adopt an academic niche for itself, both in teaching and research. It should choose at least 3, 4, or 5 academic niches that make it stand out among other institutes. Another way to become the top is to eliminate the rest of the flab.
Ultimately, adopting a niche, carrying out it well, and letting every director follow it is the key. Only then will NIT Trichy be among the top 3 engineering colleges.
I have a few friends at the institute. According to their experience, for taking NIT Trichy at Top 3 as a technical Institute in India by 2025, a lot of changes are to be made. Some of them are as follows.
These are a few of the things on which the institute needs to improve in order to be better.
