  • Research by faculty : NIT Silchar has a few faculty who are involved in research and are known in their respective fields. 
  •  relevant forums.
  • Research by students : NIT Silchar students work on materializing their fantasies through their research work. They apply the knowledge they have gained in fields such as machine design, Image Processing, Machine Learning, etc., and generate a lot of intellectual property.
  • Placements (CSE) : Big companies like Goldman Sachs, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Wells Fargo, SAP Labs, Samsung R and D, Snapdeal, C-DOT (PSU), DRDO, etc. hire almost 50% of the CSE batch. Last year, 82 out of 97 students got placed in the CSE branch.

Why don't people prefer NIT Agartala and Silchar?

Namrata Das
Sugandhi GargStudied Computer Science at National Institute of Technology, Agartala

Before joining NIT Agartala, even I had many misconceptions about this institution. These were mostly regarding the connectivity, environment, culture, diet, infrastructure, faculty and placements.

Now that I have experienced life at NITA, I am in a position to break these misconceptions about NITA and NITS-

  • Lack of connectivity- Maharaja Bir Bikram airport is just 26 km away from NIT Agartala, and Jirania railway station is just 3 kilometers away. NIT Silchar is just 35 km away from Silchar Airport, and the railway station is 10 km away from the campus. These towns have an absence of traffic jams and efficient transport services.
  • Terrorism problem- This is a complete myth. Both Agartala and Silchar are really peaceful places.
  • Culture and People- No, the people aren’t ‘uncivilized’. Tripura has one of the highest literacy rates in India. Silchar is an eminent trading center and knowledge hub in the Northeast. Both have medical colleges, research centers, and central universities. 
  • Infrastructure- NIT Agartala has one of the most advanced infrastructures among Indian colleges. NITS has all the infrastructural facilities. Some facilities included in NITA and NITS are- Supercomputers, Scanning electron microscope, and ISRO innovation incubation centre (NITA). NITS has Asia’s largest digital library. Besides that, both have good workshops and labs, a modern sports complex, auditoriums, restaurants, wifi facility, a swimming pool and a gym.
  • Placements- Both offer decent placements. The average package goes to around 5-7 LPA for them. 
  • Food- The food at mess is good. It caters to the dietary needs of people from all across India, and even foreign lands.
  • Faculty- The faculty is excellent at NITS. At NITA, some teachers aren’t good while others are very helpful and learned. 

I hope that you will consider NIT Agartala and NIT Silchar for your higher studies. Both are very good colleges.

Devdutta BoseStudied at National Institute of Technology Silchar (2019)

NIT Silchar has 9 boys and 3 girls hostels, along with separate hostels for married PG students and foreign students. It also has a 1000-capacity boys hostel which is newly constructed. The hostel and campus life of NIT Silchar are top notch. Old hostels like H1 need more renovation. But overall, hostel rooms are spacious and well maintained, especially the new ones. But there is a scope for more improvements. Water and electricity is available round the clock. H-6 and -7 have playgrounds within their premises. The hostels organize cultural events and festive celebrations on a regular basis. They are provided with proper security.

All the hostels have a big common room with TV and DTH connection. Hostellers play TT, carom and other indoor games over there. All hostels have LAN for unlimited usage. Internet speed is good as well. 

Girls hostels are provided with separate Gymnasium. Boys go to the Central Gym at the Sports Center. A canteen cum stationary shop is provided in all hostels. The mess food is not good, it's bearable at best.

How is the coding culture at NIT Silchar? Is it worth joining CSE in NIT Silchar?

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

If you are passionate about coding and want a profession in this domain, NIT Silchar is the right place for you-

  1. Computer Science Society- CSS at NIT Silchar is the most active society of the institute. As a member of this society, your coding skills will be enhanced. CSS conducts coding classes for all CSE students. So if you don’t know programming yet, they will teach you the basics before the start of actual classes. By the second semester, you will be way better at coding than your peers in other branches. CSS also arranges coding classes by Oracle and other well-known companies.
  2. Coding Club- Unlike CSS, the coding club is open to students from all branches. It conducts regular classes after college hours. You’ll be taught Data Structures during the first year. These classes are absolutely free of cost.
  3. Coding Competitions- NIT Silchar regularly organizes web development competitions, coding competitions, and other fun events on campus. You’ll be encouraged to take part in these. 
  4. Faculty- The CSE faculty teaches well. They will show interest in your caliber, your coding skills, etc.
  5. Seniors- The seniors of CSE branch are really helpful and supportive.

Even if you don’t know much about programming, NITS will make you fall in love with it. The CSE department is absolutely great over there.

How is mess food at NIT Silchar?

Silvia BasuStudied at NIT Silchar (2019)

The mess food at NIT Silchar is very oily. Poori or Paratha is served for almost every breakfast. Potatoes are the only abundant vegetable. Other healthy vegetables are served quite seldom. Salad isn’t served everyday. Occasionally, you'll get some fruit like Bananas, or fruit shake. A thick layer of oil can be seen floating on top of the vegetables. 

It is unhealthy to consume such an oily breakfast on a regular basis. Oily foods lead to increased cholesterol levels and very bad heart health. Even the snacks consist of fritters, samosas, and other foods that require deep frying. The seniors don’t bother and say nothing can be done in this regard. 

Sadly, this is the case not just of NIT Silchar, but many other colleges and universities. Not just a health freak, but a normal student would also agree that such unhealthy levels of oil can lead to serious health problems in the future.

How is NIT Silchar for electrical engineering?

Namrata Das
Devdutta BoseStudied at National Institute of Technology Silchar (2019)

My brother completed his B.Tech Electrical Engineering from NIT Silchar. According to him-

  1. Course Structure - The course structure is good but some upgrading is needed. There is more Power Engineering (for example topics like Power Systems, Machines, Drives, etc.). You should join ECE if you are into Electronics, VLSI design, Embedded Systems, Hardware Programming, etc. But even with Electrical, you will get 6 electives in your senior year to quench your thirst for knowledge. Few labs focus on MATLAB.
  2. Faculty and attendance criteria - The faculty consists of qualified teachers. However, the EE faculty is way more strict than the faculties of other departments at NIT Silchar. EE is the most strict department for attendance. Minimum 75% attendance is mandatory for most courses.
  3. Placements - Core placements aren’t really high for EE students. Only a few students get placed in PSUs. Other than that, EE students can sit for placements in Finance, Analytics, and IT. Business Executive, Managerial, and Sales Executive are other profiles that are open to Electrical students.
  4. Infrastructure and labs - The infrastructure of NIT Silchar is good, especially when compared to other NITs. The UG B.Tech labs are of decent quality.

EE at NIT Silchar is not a department where you can relax. It demands a lot of hard work from its students. But once you show dedication and commitment, this department will enhance your personality and knowledge.

These are some things you should know before joining NIT Silchar-

  9. While at NITs hostel, you will develop the habit of sleeping very late at night.

What are the cons of joining NIT Silchar?

Namrata Das
Lipika ChakrabortyB.tech from National Institute of Technology Silchar (2020)

Here are a few cons of joining NIT Silchar one must consider before marking the final decision 

  1. Reputation : There is a false notion that NIT Silchar is located in some disturbing region which is obviously untrue. The harmony between seniors and juniors here is unmatched so is the ambiance here.
  2. Connectivity : Owing to its remote location NIT Silchar students face major connectivity issues. The duration of the train journey is around 50 hours.

Honestly, I don’t find any other major issues with the other except that it has become a victim of false allegations and rumors. So if you are planning to come here, you are welcome!
