My college journey is absolutely a rollercoaster.

Placements: Around 90% of students are placed from our batch. The highest package is 36 LPA. The lowest is around 5 LPA for a teaching role, whereas the average package is around 13 LPA. Top recruiting companies for our batch are BPCL, Meesho, and PharmaAce. Around 20 students from our class of 86 get internships, primarily in P&G and Reliance.

Infrastructure: In the department and classroom buildings, there is no Wi-Fi as such, but in the hostel, each room has Wi-Fi access. Research labs do have Wi-Fi. Mess food varies from mess to mess. Some messes provide good food, while others have average food. Medical and sports facilities are decent.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, but some are not very good in helping students understand concepts. However, some teachers are actually good. Course curriculum is slightly outdated, especially considering the rise of AI. Semester exams are decent. If one has studied the concepts well, they can score well. The pass percentage varies from subject to subject.

Other: Initially, I thought chemical engineering would be easy, but it was tougher than expected. To improve further, the course curriculum should be upgraded and teaching of recent technologies should be included. Fests are decent, and the crowd is also good. Overall, fest days are very enjoyable if you have a good friend group.

Initially totally dissatisfied, later it became good.

Placements: National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli is mainly known for its placements. We have very good placements even in lower branches like Production and MME. In my course, 74 out of 94 students got placed. The highest package was 36 LPA. The median was 12 LPA. Most companies from different sectors came to the campus with various job roles. It includes Product Management, Supply Chain Management, and sometimes software roles.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is okay, not that good. There is no AC in classrooms and no cooler allowed in the hostel. There is no water cooler in the hostel. In the first year, B.Tech students stay in three-seater rooms, and later they get two-seater rooms, which are still quite congested. However, over time, students learn to adjust.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified, knowledgeable, and mostly helpful. However, most of them do not know how to effectively deliver the content or teach properly. Semester exams are mostly PYQ-based. If you have a good connection with seniors, you can get previous papers, and most questions tend to repeat if the teacher is the same.

Other: I was not getting a circuital branch at my rank, so I chose a core branch as it was the best option available. Overall, the college is good, campus life is fine, but city life is not as expected.

It is a very good college for this course.

Placements: The students start sitting for placement from the 6th semester, i.e., the end of the third year itself, while many students start getting job offers at the start of the 7th semester itself. The placement percentage here is very good, it is around 90% and the average placement for the 2025 placement session is around 15.76 LPA or maybe higher, since results are not made available to us yet. The highest offer is around 55 lakh+, according to some fourth-year students. The number of companies visiting us is many. They include tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Sony, Samsung, etc.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided in the room include a table, chair, almirah and a bed. The mess food is okay, not so good, but one will get used to it. If we talk about the books and journals available in the library, they are easily accessible to all the students and professors. The classrooms have high-quality projectors and speakers, and teachers use a microphone to deliver their lectures. There are a lot of sports available on campus, and everyone can play any sport they want to play.

Faculty: The faculty members of this college are like those of all the colleges, some of them are very good, but some of them are here just to read the PPT and time pass. About the exams, there are 3 exams conducted in the entire semester, the first one is this CT1, then CT2, and then end sem exams. CT1 and CT2 are easy, which anyone can score well just by studying 1 or 2 days before the exam, but for end sem exams, one needs to start studying almost 10-15 days earlier because they consist of the entire syllabus.
