Is NIT Trichy better than IIT Mandi?

It is difficult to say which is better between IIT Mandi and top NITs, as it depends on individual preferences and priorities. Both IIT Mandi and top NITs have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it would be best to research and compare them based on factors such as location, campus facilities, faculty, research opportunities, and placement records. 

However, I feel the quality of college life offered is a very crucial factor. That being said, IIT Mandi offers a better campus experience than NITs. 

• Being an IIT, it attracts the best crowd.
• IIT Mandi has a laid-back and peaceful campus away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
• The academics are also not very challenging and the peer pressure is less.
• The college focuses on extracurricular activities too and has many clubs that provide a plethora of opportunities to discover your passions apart from academics. 
• The seniors here are very cooperative and you will develop a close bond with them.
• The college hosts some amazing fests like Exodia, Rann-Neeti, Aakarshan, and many more.

Ultimately, the decision should be based on your own personal preferences and goals.

Yes NIT Trichy is better than IIT Mandi. 

• NITT is the best NIT in the country. It is better than all new IITs. In recent years, it has been giving good competition to some of the old IITs as well. 
• NITT has a great placement record. In last year’s placement, the average CTC offered was INR 6.5 LPA. The highest CTC offered was INR 42 LPA.
• Other than placement statistics, NIT Trichy is well known for its technical fest. Pragyan the technical fest of NITT has been ranked among the best in the nation.

Being a new IIT, IIT Mandi still doesn’t have a good infrastructure. It also doesn’t have good industry recognition. NIT Trichy on the other hand is old and well-reputed in the corporate world.
