NIT Trichy currently does not offer a BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) course as part of its regular full-time course curriculum. NITs, including NIT Trichy, are renowned for B.Tech, M.Tech, MBA, MCA, and Ph.D. courses.
If you are looking for a BCA course, you may want to look for central universities such as BHU, JMI, or Delhi University (via CUET) Its top private colleges are Christ University, Symbiosis, and Amity, among others.
Another Option at NIT Trichy—MCA Program If you like computer applications and want to study more after your degree, NIT Trichy has a 3-year MCA program. Here is a quick look at the fees:
Fee Component | Amount (Approx.) |
---|---|
Total Course Fee (MCA - 3 yrs) | 1.67 Lakhs |
Hostel & Mess (per year) | 90,000 (approx.) |
SC/ST Concession | Fee reduced as per norms |

No, NIT admissions are not based on CUET scores. NITs accept only JEE Main scores for UG courses such as B.Tech. No matter how well you've done in your Class 12th board and have fulfilled the eligibility criteria, CUET is not acceptable for NIT admission.
Here’s what you need to know:
Criteria | NIT Admission Requirement |
---|---|
Entrance Exam | JEE Main only |
CUET Score | Not accepted |
Class 12th Marks | Minimum 75% or top 20 percentile in respective board |
If your goal is to get into an NIT, appearing for JEE Main is a must.
If you have performed decent in CUET, you can attempt to get admission to top central universities and other colleges that accept CUET scores for B.Tech or other undergraduate degrees.
– Delhi University (DU)
– Banaras Hindu University (BHU)
– Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University
= Aligarh Muslim University and similar institutions.
93 percentile in JEE MAIN 2024 roughly corresponds to 83,601-85,000 rank. I am assuming that you are an open category candidate.
Here is the previous year JEE Main cutoff for B.Tech admissions at NIT Trichy-
B.Tech Cutoff 2023 for NIT Trichy (open category)
Branch | HS (Gender-Neutral) | OS (Gender-Neutral) |
---|---|---|
Chemical Engineering | 20,670 | 15,816 |
Civil Engineering | 33,703 | 20,873 |
Computer Science and Engineering | 5,164 | 1,509 |
Electrical and Electronics Engineering | 9,902 | 6,726 |
Electronics and Communication Engineering | 7,153 | 4,642 |
Instrumentation and Control Engineering | 15,486 | 14,240 |
Mechanical Engineering | 16,238 | 10,751 |
Metallurgical and Materials Engineering | 32,122 | 24,678 |
Production Engineering | 26,853 | 25,958 |
From this table, it is evident that unfortunately, you won’t be able to secure a seat at NIT Trichy with 93 percentile ( roughly 83,601-85,000 rank).
95 percentile in JEE Main 2024 is roughly a rank between 59,001-60,000. Since you are an open category candidate, unfortunately, you won’t get a seat in NIT Trichy. However, you can check your chances in the female-only seats if you are eligible for the same.
Here is the 2023 JEE Main cutoff for B.Tech admissions at NIT Trichy (for open category)-
JEE MAIN 2023 Cutoff for Open Category B.Tech Seats at NIT Trichy
Branch | HS (Gender-Neutral) | OS (Gender-Neutral) |
---|---|---|
Chemical Engineering | 20,670 | 15,816 |
Civil Engineering | 33,703 | 20,873 |
Computer Science and Engineering | 5,164 | 1,509 |
Electrical and Electronics Engineering | 9,902 | 6,726 |
Electronics and Communication Engineering | 7,153 | 4,642 |
Instrumentation and Control Engineering | 15,486 | 14,240 |
Mechanical Engineering | 16,238 | 10,751 |
Metallurgical and Materials Engineering | 32,122 | 24,678 |
Production Engineering | 26,853 | 25,958 |
From the table above, it is clear that 95 percentile is not sufficient to get you a seat at NIT Trichy as an open category candidate.
Since you haven’t mentioned a particular category, I am assuming that you are an unreserved candidate. NITs offer two kinds of seats through JoSAA counseling, one set of seats are reserved for home state candidates, while another set is for students from other states. Home State Quota applies to the candidates who complete their class 11th and 12th from the state of their desired NIT.
A 97 percentile in JEE Main 2024 should correspond to approximately 36,000 rank in the examination. Here is the 2023 cutoff for B.Tech courses at NIT Trichy to give you a basic idea of the current trend-
NIT Trichy 2023 cutoff for JEE MAIN (open category)
Branch | HS (Gender-Neutral) | OS (Gender-Neutral) |
---|---|---|
Chemical Engineering | 20,670 | 15,816 |
Civil Engineering | 33,703 | 20,873 |
Computer Science and Engineering | 5,164 | 1,509 |
Electrical and Electronics Engineering | 9,902 | 6,726 |
Electronics and Communication Engineering | 7,153 | 4,642 |
Instrumentation and Control Engineering | 15,486 | 14,240 |
Mechanical Engineering | 16,238 | 10,751 |
Metallurgical and Materials Engineering | 32,122 | 24,678 |
Production Engineering | 26,853 | 25,958 |
As evident from the table above, a rank >=36,000 can sadly not fetch you a seat in NIT Trichy. So 97 percentile will not get you a B.Tech admission at NIT Trichy.
Hello, my name is Junaid Khan. I've completed a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from NIT Trichy. As per my knowledge, it is not possible to transfer from an IIT to an NIT in the 2nd year. One of my friends has just completed his 1st year at IIT Madras. Due to personal issues, he wanted to transfer from his IIT to an NIT in the 2nd year, but he could not.
Both NIT and IIT have limited seats and a strict admission process for their courses. Also, any NIT college in India does not offer Lateral entry. It doesn't matter whether you have completed a 3-year Diploma course, but admission into NIT from 2nd year is not possible anyway.
However, in IIT one can opt for BTech directly from 2nd year through lateral entry. Candidates who wish to transfer from IIT to NIT, have no other option but to waste one year. Students then need to sit for the JEE Main exam again and register themselves for NIT admissions.
Yes, NITs are much cheaper than IITs. NITs and IITs are prestigious institutes in India, known for their Engineering courses. However, some key differences make NITs a cheaper and better option than some IITs.
NITs are funded by the government of that particular state, while IITs are directly funded by the Central Government. Both NITs and IITs have good infrastructure and modern laboratories. NITs offer equal facilities, education, etc. at a lower fee than several IITs.
NITs are much cheaper than IITs. IITs on average charge INR 1.50 - 6.70 Lakhs as the annual tuition fee for UG courses. On the other hand, the lowest annual tuition fee at an NIT for UG courses is INR 50,000. Similarly, the hostel fees, admission fees, and fees for different amenities are much cheaper at NITs.
Despite its low fees, NIT Trichy is placed among the top 10 Engineering colleges in India by various Ranking agencies, leaving behind 2nd and 3rd generation IITs.
Hello, my name is Saurabh, a former NIT Trichy student. I completed my BTech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering in the year 2020. So, I am well experienced and eligible to answer this question.
Both NIT Trichy and BITS Pilani are excellent Institutions. But NIT Trichy is better than BITS Pilani. Following are some reasons why I prefer NIT Trichy over BITS Pilani:
The separate departments at NIT Trichy for Engineering, Architecture, etc. are responsible for creating a world-class learning environment to meet the challenges of the modern world.
Thus overall, I would say that NIT Trichy offers quality education at much lower fees in comparison to BITS Pilani.
NIT Trichy is well-regarded for its excellent academics, facilities, and infrastructure. The Institute is very popular due to its high rank in the list of top Management, Engineering, and Architecture colleges.
NIT Trichy was established as a regional technical institute. Later, it was declared the National Institute of Technology, and given the title- ‘Institute of National Importance’. It offers quality education and a modern and high-tech campus.
NIT Trichy is known for its flagship BTech and MBA courses. It offers a BTech in 9 specializations. NIT Trichy offers good research facilities, its laboratories have modern equipment. Apart from that, NIT Trichy is very popular for its high ranking. It is ranked by several renowned Ranking agencies in India and abroad for its Engineering, management, and architecture courses.
QS World University Rankings (QS) in 2024 has ranked NIT Trichy in the range of #781–790 among the top global institutes worldwide. The Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE) has ranked NIT Trichy between #801–1000 in 2024. NIT Trichy holds a position #9 among the top 10 Engineering colleges in India as per the latest NIRF Rankings.
Thus, NIT Trichy is a top choice for Engineering and Management courses.
NIT Trichy is better than many IITs and the IIITs. NIT Trichy is well-known for its excellent and high-quality education, hostel facilities, course availability, ranking, placement, admission rate, infrastructure, and other facilities.
NIT Trichy is ranked #9 by NIRF Ranking among the top Engineering colleges in India. NIT Trichy is ranked higher than many IITs and IIITs. NIT Trichy is much better than many IITs and IIITs due to various reasons like the admission process, high ROI (Return of Investment), faculties, etc. Admission into NIT Trichy and IITs is entrance-based only, however, it is much easier to get admission into NIT Trichy than the IITs.
For BTech admission at an IIT, one needs to qualify JEE Advanced, while for admission into NIT Trichy, one only needs to qualify JEE Main. This makes the admission procedure easier than IITs in India. The cutoff lists for BTech courses at NITT is less than many IITs. NIT Trichy offers courses at comparatively lower fees than many IITs, which ultimately results in NIT Trichy’s higher ROI (Return of Investment ).
Due to these factors, it is safe to say that NIT Trichy is better than many 2nd and 3rd generation IITs, and the IIITs.
