Lab facilities and classrooms in our department are above average but the equipment is very old and some do not work. Computer labs are very good with good Wi-Fi facilities. Library is very big and a digital library is also available. Hostel food is acceptable and medical facilities are good but there is less time for sports and games.

Hello Atul,

Main criteria to decide whether to choose Production Engineering at NIT Trichy or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at NIT Agartala also involve several factors.

NIT Trichy - Production Engineering: NIT Trichy is one of the most excellent National Institutes of Technology in India, better known for its academic excellence, along with good placement records. Studying Production Engineering at the place would open diverse career opportunities in manufacturing, operations management, and supply chain management. However, the institutes have always superior resources in the form of well-equipped labs and workshops. In most cases, a larger and more established alumni network can prove helpful in obtaining internships and job placements.


NIT Agartala - ECE: On the other hand, the field of ECE is highly in demand as it has applicatory use in nearly every sector nowadays, from telecommunication, robotics, to embedded systems. If you are one of those interested persons who always have passion for the electronics and communication technologies, then this specialization may be more appropriate to your interest. NIT Agartala - Though it becomes very popular among fresh engineering graduates now, yet it is not equal to that prestige of NIT Trichy.


In the end, you should probably choose that which mainly stimulates your interest, adds to your career ambitions, and presents the nature of the opportunities each program offers. Prioritizing what is of most excitement can lead to an even both educational and professional journey that is fulfilling.
