NIT Trichy has made its place among the top NITs of India. It is among the best NITs with great placement records. Here is the placement report of NIT Trichy.

92% and 87.1% students of UG and PG courses were placed respectively and around 220 companies participated.
With a percentile this high, you can try going for JEE Advanced. If you still want to try NIT Trichy you can get Metallurgy, Chemical, Production Engineering, Civil, Instrumentation and Control, and some other lower branches. However, you should be a candidate belonging to the General category. You can also get Computer Science and Mechanical if you are in the OBC category.
If you are a candidate of the home state then you can get the streams mentioned previously as well as ECE, EEE, and CSE.
Admission in NIT Trichy has seats reserved for the students belonging to the states of Tamil Nadu. Therefore there is some quota that benefits certain students.
Here is the 2020 cutoff for NIT Trichy.
Courses | General | |
HS | OS | |
B.Arch | 252-415 | 282-615 |
B.Tech CSE | 163-564 | 1000-4358 |
B.Tech ECE | 847-2358 | 3043-7112 |
B.Tech EEE | 954-4057 | 7490-10081 |
B.Tech ME | 2468-4959 | 7258-13069 |

B.Tech PE | 11790-16631 | 16285-24209 |
The cutoffs are known to change every year and with no certainty and predictability. It can only be confirmed after the first few rounds of counseling. The opening and the closing rank of a particular department sometimes varies by 2k in the general category and more in the quota.
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 |

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-

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.
