Colleges in Tiruchirappalli

CSE from BITS, Pilani is better as compared to NIT, Trichy.
Placements: Placements are 100% for the computer science branch. The highest package in India was 35 LPA and the lowest package for CS in India was 12 LPA. The average salary comes out to be around 22 LPA. This is very close to previous year's average too. Top shot companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, Directi, Adobe, Samsung, HP, Visa, etc. to the newest startups like Nutanix, Crowdfire, etc. were among the recruiters. The roles offered mainly include software development and very rarely testing roles are given.
BITS, Pilani is an amazing place to complete your graduation. Your campus life will fill you up with memories that will last a lifetime.
Pros:
1. Amazing crowd.
2. Lively campus life.
3. Great placements.
4. Practice school semester long internship program.
5. Infrastructure has improved a lot. By 2016-17, most hostels will be best in the country.
Cons:
1. Syllabus seems a little outdated.
2. Less research.
3. Not all faculty is supportive, though this maybe the case everywhere.
4. Weather is very tough to adjust too. Power cuts in summers add to your woes.
5. Administrative offices are pretty much like government offices. Work is slow and painful to get done though some officials are helpful.
6. Pretty far away from civilization. Nearest city is Delhi/Jaipur, both 200Km away. However, this is also a good thing, as you spend more time in the college, which somehow I believe helps in the long run.

Both NIT-Trichy and NIT-Warangal are among the top three NITs are among the best institutes in India. But NIT Trichy has been consistently ranking better than NIT Warangal for some years now. According to the MHRD rankings of engineering colleges, NIT-Trichy stands at 11th position while NIT-Warangal stands much below at 34th rank. Among the NITs NIT Trichy stands first. Coming to the mechanical department, NIT-Trichy showcased better placement statistics than NIT-Warangal. NIT Trichy had 94.8 percent placement in 2016 and 98.5 percent in 2017. While NIT-Warangal had 91.11 percent placement in 2016. In terms of the course outline and faculty, both colleges are almost equal. But recently NIT-Trichy had started the system of '"Flexible Curriculum" which allows teachers and students to discuss and decide on things like methods of evaluation and dates of exams and course outline as such. However, this system has just started and will take some time to get better. NIT-Trichy has many clubs like PSI Racing, Designers consortium and 3D aero modeling in which students can gain a lot of practical knowledge by working on real projects. I would suggest joining NIT-Trichy as the institution strives hard to improve quality of students and make them ready for the industry.
