I feel Dr. Raghavan from the ECE department deserves to be in the list of best professors at NIT Trichy. His teaching, question paper setting, and grading are on par with global standards. 

Sir emphasizes on course projects, something unique to his teaching. He focuses on the big picture, instead of petty details. He never tests derivations straight off a book. His exams aren’t lengthy, rather they require logical thinking. He conducts pseudo open book exams. His methods especially stand out because usually question papers are unnecessarily lengthy, classroom lectures are simply textual recitations, and exam problems are straight out of textbook. Sir has an exceptional knowledge of his field, and his lectures are a delight for learners. 

The best part is that sir always ends his lectures 5 minutes early.

For fresher B.Tech boys, there are four hostels at NIT Trichy. These are- Agate, Jade, Diamond and Coral. The rooms at these hostels are three/four seater, and have enough space to accommodate the furniture of each occupant. All of these hostels have decent wifi facilities. 

Each one of them has its own pros and cons. Agate gets good wifi speed, and is comparatively close to most academic buildings. Jade is the farthest from every college building, but it has its own cricket ground on the backside. Moreover, its rooms are well ventilated. Jade experiences a water cut once every two months, and every hostel experiences a 15 minute power cut once a month. 

The fresher hostels at NIT Trichy are decent and liveable.

I think, bringing down the reputation of top institutes and falsely defaming them has become a trend just to get more comments and attention. It's the students who are unable to make it into IITs and NITs that can be seen calling them overrated, overhyped, etc.

NIT Trichy is a highly regarded institute and is considered better than most of the IITs. If anything it is underrated just because it lacks the so-called IIT tag. One of my friends is an alumnus of NIT Trichy and claims its research output to be way higher than those of IITs and in fact some IIMs.

Placements-wise too, NIT Trichy is doing excellent and NIT Trichy Placements 2022 recorded the highest package of INR 40 LPA. Its excellent rankings are also a testament to its worth and credibility. In the engineering category, NIT Trichy ranks 8th right below the top 7 IITs, and above IIT Hyderabad.

NIT Trichy is worth the hype it deserves in terms of all; placements, ranking, and research.

Fresher girls are given just one option i.e. Opal Hostel. So for them, there’s no question of the best or worst hostel. As for boys, Diamond, Agate, Coral and Jade, all are equally good. But Coral and Agate are the closest to LHC, where fresher classes are conducted. Diamond gets the best Wifi speed, but the others aren’t far behind.

I have lived some of the best years of my life at NIT Trichy. Don’t worry, whichever hostel you get, you’ll have a memorable first year at this college.
