Which is better: the Anna University College of Engineering or NIT Trichy?
I don’t think comparing both the colleges i.eAnna University College of Engineering and NIT Trichy is justified. This is because both are equally good in almost all the parameters. Both ranked among the top Engineering colleges in India. I have made a slight comparison based on the following factors to make a better choice:
Placements: NIT Trichy has an upper hand in placements. More core companies visit NITs in general than CEGs. This is because NIT is an established brand name.
Higher studies: CEG is slightly privileged in this aspect as it considers the TN state boards marks whereas NIT considers JEE performance. So the former is easier than the latter.
College life: College life at CEG is better because of its location. You can eat outside the hostel as many restaurants are available near the college. But NIT Trichy is far from the city so options for exploring are fewer.
Lastly, keep in mind that if you are choosing NIT then go for Trichy or Kurukshetra only. Don’t go for any other NIT leaving CEG.

Is it tough to secure 8.5 GPA in NIT Trichy?
Getting an 8.5 GPA at NIT Trichy depends on certain factors. Below I have talked about each one separately-
- If you get CSE/EEE/ECE/Mech branch in which the class strength is greater than 100, you will face slightly more difficulty (in comparison to other branches) in scoring an 8.5 GPA.
- If you get Meta/Chem in NIT Trichy, where the class strength is less than 100 students, you will face comparatively less competition.
There is a system of Relative Grading(RG), so your GPA also depends on your classmates’ performance.
If you regularly attend classes (maintaining at least 75% attendance), keep yourself updated on all that is being taught in the class, and study well before your CTs/unit tests, and end sem, you will easily score 8.5 or above in NIT Trichy.
On the other hand, if you are a lazy person who sleeps for 12-14 hours a day, will bunk your classes regularly, and play PUBG all day, you won’t score well.
Attend your classes regularly and try to study for 2-3 hours a day. Maintain at least 75% attendance. Try to score well in your CTs and Unit Tests, then you will be less worried during your end sem.
You can not control the performance of your entire class, but if you follow a disciplined and balanced routine, you will make sure from your end that you score well as a student of NIT Trichy.
