What is the fee structure for the BCA course if I attend offline (regular) classes?

Muskan Agrahari Posted On : June 25th, 2025

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

For exact MCA fee structure, you can visit the official NIT Trichy site: NIT Trichy MCA Fee Structure

I got low marks in CUET, but my UG marks and board marks fit the eligibility criteria. Is there any way I can get into NIT?

Muskan Agrahari Posted On : June 25th, 2025

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.

Can I get a seat in NIT Trichy with 93 percentile in JEE Main?

D
Disha Posted On : May 24th, 2024
B.Tech from NIT Trichy

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).

I scored 95 percentile in JEE MAIN for 2024. Can I get admission into a top branch at NIT Trichy?

DG
Divishi Goyal Posted On : May 24th, 2024
B.Tech Civil at NIT Trichy

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.

Can I get admission into NIT Trichy with 97 percentile in JEE Main?

H
Harsh Posted On : May 24th, 2024
B.Tech student at NIT Trichy

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.

Can we transfer from IIT to NIT in the 2nd year?

JK
Junaid Khan Posted On : May 20th, 2024
BTech in Chemical Engineering from NIT Trichy (2014 - 2018 Batch)

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.

Is NIT cheaper than IIT?

PK
Preeti Kaur Posted On : May 20th, 2024
MBA in Marketing from NIT Trichy (2017 - 2019 Batch)

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.

Is NIT Trichy better than BITS Pilani?

SM
Saurabh Mahajan Posted On : May 20th, 2024
BTech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from NIT Trichy (2016 - 2020 Batch)

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:

  • Education Quality: NIT Trichy is an internationally recognised centre of excellence for teaching and research. The course curriculum at NIT Trichy is a blend of the conventional and the radical and is updated regularly to meet the growing industry demands and changing trends. 

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. 

  • Admission & Faculties: NIT Trichy has highly qualified faculty with an experience of more than 15 years. NIT Trichy has very limited seats for its various programs which develops a very high competition and only the top students get the admission opportunity at NITT. 
  • Course Fees: The Fee Structure for different courses at NIT Trichy is way less compared to BITS Pilani. Where candidates have to pay INR 5-6 Lakhs per year for BTech at BITS Pilani, they can pursue the same course for INR 1.46- 1.75 Lakhs per year from NIT Trichy.
  • Placements: Placement is the most important factor that attracts students to NIT Trichy. NIT Trichy is renowned for its lucrative placement opportunities and high ROI (Return on Investment). NIT Trichy's dedicated placement cell supports and trains students in all aspects to get a high placement package. NIT B.Tech batch achieved 90.90% placements & MBA, MCA, and M.Tech achieved 92.90% placements. 

Thus overall, I would say that NIT Trichy offers quality education at much lower fees in comparison to BITS Pilani.

Is NIT Trichy better than IITs and IIITs?

KK
Krishna Kumar Posted On : May 20th, 2024
MBA in Business Analytics from NIT Trichy (2020 - 2022 Batch)

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.
