NIT Trichy, Tiruchirappalli

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.

• Terminate curfew for girls: The curfew timings for girls decreased from 9 P.M. to 8 P.M. on normal days and is 10 P.M. on Sunday. Even for the festivals, students are not allowed to go and do the preparations. The guardians or parents aren't allowed on the campus but employees and random people can enter the campus.
• Productive Administration: The administration of the college needs to be open-minded and modern and should concentrate less on the dress codes of students or the students(boys and girls together) roaming on the campus and rather concentrate more on serious topics like water shortage, power cut-off, inappropriate mess foods, etc.
• Improved Infrastructure: Comparing with the girl's hostels, the boy's hostel needs improvement. The problems like lack of water, inappropriate bathroom doors are commonly heard. The college can be advanced with the greenery and better roads. As the campus faces a 12-hour power cut-off, the installation of generators is a necessity. Even solar panels can be introduced for electricity purposes.
• Better Faculties: Faculties play an important role in the overall development of an Institute and so is with NIT Trichy. Only a few of the professors are excellent in their specific subjects. They often scold the students and do not clear their doubts because of low attendance or if they are unable to answer their questions. 

These are a few of the things on which the institute needs to improve in order to be better.

At NITK Surathkal, Saturdays are holidays for all the students. In the first year, timings depend upon your section. It has about 23 hours of classes every week. 

These can be: 

• Between 8 AM to 3 PM - Monday and Thursday.
• Between 8 AM to 3 PM - Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. 

The schedule can be altered as per the student’s convenience with the help of the class representatives (CRs). In the second year onwards, the schedule depends on the branch in which you belong. For example, the mining branch has 20 hours per week, CSE and ECE have 25-28 hours per week, while the mechanical department has around 35 hours per week. There are extra classes at the end of the trimester.

At NITK Trichy the college time is usually 8:30 AM - 3:10 PM. Sometimes, it may extend to 4-5 PM. There is a lunch break from 12:10 – 1:30 PM.

At MNNIT Allahabad the classes are held from Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sunday are holidays. In the first year, all students study general subjects from 9 AM – 5 PM. The lectures are 30 hours a week. In the second and the third year for the core subjects, the classes are 8 AM – 6 PM, i.e., 40 hours a week. The CSE/IT batch has only 25-30 hours per week. In the last year, classes are rarely held in the institute. The lectures are approximately 12-15 hours a week.

NIT Trichy is old but it is not necessary that the curriculum is good. The scenario here is quite different and you can see many glitches while taking an overview about it. So, let’s discuss some of the points about it.

• Most of the scholars are suffering mentally and physically. They are not receiving the right amount of guidance and mentorship.
• This is applicable not only to NIT Trichy but other institutes such as NIT Warangal, IITs - Madras, Bombay, IISC, and others.
• Proper Counseling must be given to Mentors, in order to safeguard the scholars. Most of the faculty are reckless and give negative comments to the students. 

One of my friends was pursuing Ph.D from NIT Trichy and she suffered a lot. Crosscheck the situation because it will be in your life for a maximum of 5–7 years. You can talk to a senior for a better understanding of the situation.

Apparently, NITs do not generally accept NATA scores for B.Arch admissions. On the flip side, what they do consider is admission via Joint Seat Allocation Authority, abbreviated to JoSAA, which is basically the acceptance on the basis of JEE Mains for B.Arch, via paper-2. Besides, it also partially depends whether or not you are from the home state. 

If you have appeared for the JEE B.Arch paper 2 examination, then you can apply for the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA), the dates of which can be known through the online panel as per the authorities.

You can check the cut offs of NIT Trichy as was proclaimed in the previous years’ for home state students, alongside those from other states as well. However, your JEE Mains score is considered too and shall be at least above 200, for further selection.

Yes, there are many Malayali teachers at NIT Calicut and they sometimes use a few Malayalam words while teaching, but this isn't a big thing to worry about. There is wide variation in faculty and it is possible for them to use some of their regional words by accident, but teaching all the subjects in any other regional words is very unlikely to happen. 

English is the most spoken language by them and all the classes are also conducted in the same. Some teachers might not be as fluent as you would expect them to be, but they are not very bad at it and easily get their job done. Some teachers speak in Hindi also and sometimes use it to explain complex topics to the students. 

There is no matter of concern as they do speak English very well except for a few, but there is a Malayalam accent in their language. 

With a percentile this high, you can try going for JEE Advanced. If you still want to try NIT Trichy you can get Metallurgy, Chemical, Production Engineering, Civil, Instrumentation and Control, and some other lower branches. However, you should be a candidate belonging to the General category. You can also get Computer Science and Mechanical if you are in the OBC category.

If you are a candidate of the home state then you can get the streams mentioned previously as well as ECE, EEE, and CSE.

There are quite a few disciplines you can choose from when it comes to M.Tech programs at NIT Trichy. To put it straight, G1 is the first group with a few selected disciplines, G2 with another set, and so forth.

The only reason why the college has done this is to effectively manage the total seats available and divide them group-wise.

For example, a particular program having a 30 seat intake can possibly be distributed as G1 with 15 seats and G2 having 8 seats, and the remaining given to G3. This easily helps segregate and understand groups.

Keep in mind that the cutoff varies for each program. The only reason why these groups were created is to allot seats to each discipline.

The classes at NIT Trichy start at 8:30 AM and lasts till 5:10 PM. There will be classes in two phases. The timing for morning classes is from 8:30 AM to 12:10 PM and for afternoon classes it is 1:30 PM to 5:10 PM. 

On some days, afternoon classes will be canceled and only the morning classes will be conducted. The number of cancelled classes depends from department to department. The CSE department has a lot of cancelled classes and you would be free by 3:30 PM. But this is not the case with EEE & ECE departments as here all the classes are conducted regularly. 

If you are residing in these hostels Garnet, Agate, Coral, Diamond then you can wake up before 5-10 mins of classes as it is located nearby to the lecture halls and you can easily reach on time. But if you are residing in Amber or Opal hostels, you will have to wake up at least 30 minutes earlier to attend the classes on time as the rooms are very far from the lecture halls. 

The timing for hostels depends upon the class. For 1st year boys, the entry timing is till 9:30 PM and for others, there are no such fixed timings and you can come at any time. But for girls, the timing is only till 9 PM and there is no exception in timings for anyone.

BITS Pilani accepts international students who have attempted SAT. To be eligible you will need to appear for the Grade 12 (qualifying) examination, SAT, and SAT subject tests (in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics level 2). 2390 in SAT is a good score and you are likely to get selected for admission. 

NIT Trichy will be difficult to get especially for CSE. The required cutoff is quite high for NIT Trichy. However, you can still apply for the program and if you are lucky you may get chosen. Generally, it is difficult because NIT Trichy is considered as one of the best NIT’s and it ranks over many IIT’s. You can also go through Google’s “DASA program in India” for admissions in other branches in different NIT’s.
