NIT Agartala admits students through the JEE Mains exam, transitioning to online mode since 2019. Successful candidates participate in JoSAA counseling to secure their preferred courses. The Civil Engineering program, for instance, is staffed predominantly by well-qualified faculty, though there's a need for more professors. The exam system includes internal assessments, a mid-sem exam, and an end-sem exam, with a moderate difficulty level. The tuition fee varies by category and income, with full waivers for SC/ST students and those with family incomes below Rs.
1 lakh. General category students pay around Rs. 80,000 annually, with hostel fees uniform across categories. Economically weaker students receive partial or full tuition waivers. Approximately 80-90% of students secure placements annually, with Computer Science and ECE achieving nearly 100% placement and Civil Engineering around 70%. The highest package reached 65 LPA, and the average package is between 6 to 9 LPA. Over 300 companies, like Google and Amazon, recruit from the campus.
Students are eligible for placements from the 3rd year, intensifying in the final year. Internships, available from the 5th semester, offer stipends of 1-2 lakhs per month. The college provides scholarship opportunities, such as the Ishan Uday Scholarship for northeastern students, and offers loans through SBI and Canara Bank, with the Vidya Lakshmi loan covering fees interest-free for five years. This structure facilitates financial accessibility for students from diverse economic backgrounds.
