Should I go for civil engineering or metallurgy and material science engineering in NIT Trichy?

I would suggest you go for metallurgy if you plan to do a job right after completing your degree. Metallurgy has more job opportunities to offer. With Metallurgy, you can easily learn coding and go for tech companies. NIT Trichy has a great coding culture, so picking up coding skills will not be difficult. If you plan to prepare for civil services or any other government job, I would suggest you go for civil engineering. When compared to metallurgy, there are fewer job opportunities in the civil department. If you plan on doing an MBA after having done your engineering, you can opt for either of them because then it does not matter anyway.

What is the current placement scenario for metallurgy and materials engineering at NIT Trichy?

One of my friends graduated from NIT Trichy and here are some facts about the institute I got to know from her.

The rest depends on the market and your training placement coordinator. Placements for metallurgy students are lesser than the other departments. Categories Metallurgy and Materials Engineering at NIT Trichy Course Fee 5.65 lakh Highest CTC 22 LPA Average CTC 10-12 LPA Recruiting Companies BPCL, L&T, Tata Steel, Reliance, etc. So, you need to act upon those selected shots you get. You'll have many chances throughout the year. You will also get a lot of guidance from immediate seniors.

Should I choose NIT Trichy metallurgy over NIT Raipur ECE?

My friend is currently pursuing B.Tech from NIT Raipur in the mechanical department. His honest opinion says that you should go for metallurgy at NIT Trichy. Here’s why If you went for the wrong branch or found out later that this is not your cup of tea, then after the 1st year you will have an option called branch sliding. In this process, you can change your branch from the current one to the desired one based upon the number of vacancies and score. If you went for the wrong college, then there's no option as a college slide! You’ll have to devote your 4 years in that college anyhow, except if you again decide to give mains. So, if you simply want to get into a better place then choose NIT Trichy. This is because you can get the advantage of branch sliding anyhow. However, if you don’t want to take risk of not getting the desired branch, then go for NIT Raipur. At last, sort your preferences and know your sole aim. Because in the long run, your happiness and satisfaction are what matters the most!

Dislikes

The course often do not make sense and as a personal development course there's only an english course, lack of other language course in first year is something i disliked

Fees and Financial Aid:

the normal fee structure for a student without any sort of remission is 2.75 lakh for 1st year and this includes tution fees, hostel fees, institute fee, internet fee, medical fee, etc. the tution fee for first year is 125000 (62500 per semester) and the hostel fee for first year is around 1lakh(for first sem it's 53000 and for second semester it's around 48000.the hostel fee for consecutive semester decreases). for ews student you get remission but the remission amount depends on your ews category for e.g, for below 1 lakh the remission amount is 62500 meaning you don't have to pay tution fee but you still have to pay the the rest amount like hostel fee, internet fee, computer lab, medical fee, etc the amount comes down to 150,950(this includes hostel fee). for ews category greater than 1lakh but lesser than 5lakh then per semester you get a remission of 66% meaning 41,834, so the amount payable is around 20,666 meaning per semester you have to pay 1.91 lakh(including hostel fee and other fee) and for above 5lakh but below 8lakh you get no remission whatsoever. There are many types of scholarship available for students like NSP,airtel scholarship(but this is for circuital branches and cse only),there are many other scholarships. the fee structure for sc/st category is same as ews below 1lakh. Overall the course is quite afordability

Some of the studens are also on scholarship like the nsp scholarship or the scholapship provided by airtel or their state scholarship some of them are studying on loans as well. Every odd semester they take the charges of development fees, lab fees and the other compulsory fees which adds upto 25000 along the 62500 tution fees so the 25000 fees every student has to pay irrespective of the caste or income.

My college life summed up!

There are 8 semesters in the BTech so per semester we have to pay nearly 75000 as institute fees and 40000 as hostel and mess fees. Different categories have around half of 1/4 of our general category. There are various scholarships like OPJEMS, JSPF scholarships.

A Honest Review of NIT Trichy

Student Snaps:

The annual fee is 1000000. Since it's a government college scholarship is readily available for those who want to avail it and the default fees itself is nominal, the mess fees are not worth the food they provide. The food tastes mediocre.

Pov of my college life

I haven't personally seen any hikes, but for a government college I think it's a little high, per semester you need to pay 62500 as institution fees, and around 43800 for mess and hostel fees per semester if you have below 8 lakh annual income, you will only pay half of the fee and if you have less than 1 lakh annual household income you don't need to pay anything as far as I know.

Hostel fees are a bit high, and it is hiking every year. We face water shortage issues, unhygeinic washrooms, and we are not alllowed to use electrical appliances. Mess food is very average. We are provided with scholarships if we qualify the tests.
