    Faculty: 1. Teachers are really very helpful since most of the teachers are itself South indian. 2. All the teachers are nearly qualified like they are Ph.D. in their discipline and having a huge teaching Experience 3.

    Here M.Sc. in Computer Science course is completely placement oriented, in my view.
    Placements: Almost 100% of the students from our course got placed. The highest salary package offered is 28.9 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 5 LPA. Top recruiting companies like SAP Labs, Micron, Citicorp, Cerner, Atyati Technologies, FICO, etc., visit our campus for placements. None of the students from our course got an internship this year. Roles like software developer, software engineer, data scientist, data engineer and data analyst are offered to the students.
    Infrastructure: Our college provides a 24x7 high-speed Wi-Fi facility in hostels and labs. There is 24x7 access to the cyber library. We can access the central library from 7 AM to 9 PM. There is 24x7 availability of health centre. There are different messes for north Indian and south Indian students. However, North Indians can choose south Indian mess. There are different messes for vegetarian and non-vegetarian students. There are separate messes for both boys and girls. Girls cannot enter in boys hostel. An indoor stadium is available for students. Almost all hostels have their own volleyball court. The basketball court is also available in some hostels.
    Faculty: Some professors in our college are quite good, but some may feel boring to you. It is easy to communicate with them, and almost all are very helpful. Every teacher is focused on completing the course. The course curriculum is very good. They are very focused on preparing you for placements. Semester exams are not very difficult. A relative marking system is being followed. The pass percentage is 50%.
    Other: Only 2-3 annual events are organised to keep you mentally fresh. Hard work is required. Even non-CS students learnt CS in just 1 year and got placement. So college provides enough opportunities for placements.

    Infrastructure and labs are good. I am satisfied and happy with our college.
    Placements: There are no placements for M.Sc. students. Placements for B.Tech department are extremely good, especially for the students of the computer science department. NIT Trichy is on the first rank from last 3 years on a NIRF ranking, so it is the best NIT of all in every aspect.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility is good. Labs are very good for the chemistry department, and classrooms are air-conditioned. Medical facilities are provided as we have Apollo Hospital. The library is very good and almost every reference book is available for every student.
    Faculty: Faculty members in the department of M.Sc. chemistry are not that good they are average. DJ uses both the smart board and blackboard for teaching. Teachers and students also organise seminars. Every staff of NIT Trichy is supportive. HOD, lab assistant and everyone are helpful.
    Other: The campus is good and spread over 800 acres of the area. The college organises fest named Festember, which is very good and students enjoy a lot.

    NIT Trichy stands above many newly formed IITs. All the newly established IITs are still growing & also need improvement to stand at par with an NIT established in 1964. IITs such as IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi are still leading the race, and the gap between these IITs and NIT Trichy is huge.
