How is production engineering at NIT Agartala?
My uncle is an alumnus of NIT Agartala Production Engineering and never once regretted choosing the branch. While most of the students were after branches like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science, etc.
He chose the least preferred, Production Engineering. He claimed that if you want to go for higher studies or secure jobs through GATE then the branch doesn’t really matter. Moreover, most campus jobs are from IT companies so the branch does not matter but your skills do. If you have already chosen Production Engineering, then wait patiently because the results will be great.
From my uncle's batch, many students moved on to pursue successful careers. A few of them have been listed below
- Lakshmi Soren joined NTPC on campus
- Dipankar Narah joined BHEL through GATE
- Prasenjit Chanda joined Tata Steel after post-graduating from IIT Roorkee
- Rashmi Dhar joined Tata Auto Comp System on Campus
- Ratul Bhaduri and Kashyap joined Tata Motors
Additionally, many others joined IT industries like Virtusa, Polaris, Capgemini, and Cognizant while some joined as professors in different universities after pursuing Mtech or PhD from good universities.
So the conclusion is, that there are a plethora of opportunities and options you are exposed to even in the Production Engineering branch of NIT Agartala.
How is NIT Agartala CSE? Why is it so underrated?
One of my cousins recently completed his BTech in CSE from NIT Agartala so I have a slight idea about the branch. Many big brands as well as startups visit the campus to recruit students. Students receive internship opportunities both in and outside India. Moreover, many projects were published at conferences in the areas of Machine learning and Natural Language Processing.
NIT Agartala CSE has churned out many successful engineers. Now coming to your question, the reason NIT Agartala is underrated is because of a lack of communication and a preconceived notion that a North-east NIT wouldn't be good enough. The truth is it’s CSE department is facilitated really well and the labs are equipped with modern instruments. The crowd is also very diverse and the overall learning experience is unmatched.
So, it’s better not to degrade any institute based on false notions.
Should I join NIT Agartala or go for any private university?
Choosing between NIT Agartala and a private university depends mainly on two factors, the branch you are getting at NIT and obviously your financial situation.
One needs to be financially strong if one wants to join private colleges. Moreover, not every private college is good and most of them have a poor crowd that got in by paying huge amounts. The most credible ones are BITS Pilani, BIT Meshra, VIT Vellor and VIT Bhopal. Unless you are getting these colleges, it’s better to join NIT Agartala.
If you have financial constraints or want to get the NIT tag, then NIT Agartala is a much better choice. However, the placements of some branches are really bad here so you can also upgrade your branch after your 1st year to CSE or ECE.
Ultimately, the decision will depend on your personal preferences and financial condition.
