Admission to NIT Agartala is managed through the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA), which conducts an online, computer-based seat allotment process. Students choose this college based on their rank, and allocation proceeds over seven rounds. The institute boasts a well-qualified faculty, primarily holding PhDs and master's degrees, ensuring a healthy faculty-to-student ratio of 1:12 to 1:15. Although there are some language barriers and challenges with first-year faculty, overall, the faculty contributes significantly to students' academic growth.
Financially, NIT Agartala is more affordable than private colleges due to government subsidies. The tuition fee is ?20,000 per semester, while hostel and food charges are around ?18,000. However, the total semester cost can rise to approximately ?70,000. The fees increase by 15% annually, which can be expensive for families earning above ?5 lakhs. Economically weaker students and those from SC/ST backgrounds receive full tuition waivers, while students with family incomes between ?1 lakh and ?5 lakhs enjoy significant reductions.
Numerous scholarships and fee remission schemes, including Post Matric Scholarship and Central Sector Scholarship, are available, along with loan options for those ineligible for scholarships. The placement scenario is robust, with high placement rates across departments. Prestigious companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon recruit from the campus, offering the highest package of INR 1.15 crore and average packages ranging from INR 8 to 15 lakhs annually. The Computer Science and Engineering department sees almost 100% placements, with average packages around INR 14.5 lakhs.
Internships begin in the 4th semester, with companies offering stipends from INR 10,000 to 80,000 monthly. The institute's dedicated placement cell plays a vital role in facilitating these opportunities, contributing to improving placement statistics yearly.
