MTech in Process Control and Instrumentation is one of the best branches you can get and has excellent job opportunities. The best part is its multifaceted nature that includes students from the Chemical, Instrumentation, and Electrical discipline. Although NIT Tricy does not release branch-wise placement statistics, one of my friends applied for an RTI in 2021, and here is the information included in it.

Go for this course only if you are really interested in Instrumentation. Otherwise, join some other branch in NIT Trichy so that you are able to learn something.
NIT Trichy placements are good for Instrumentation & Control Engineering. Microsoft, P&G, Reliance Industries, etc. are some of the major recruiters that take part in the placement drive. The highest CTC offered to the students of this branch is around INR 40-50 LPA. Around 65-70% of students also get internship opportunities.
No, it's certainly not a wise decision to pursue an MTech after completing BTech from NIT Trichy. The courses and the approach are similar, giving you no newer perspectives and wasting 2 years as well as the money spent. A better alternative is to go for an MS or Ph.D. abroad instead. That will be the true utilization of your money, knowledge, and time.
However, if you are hesitant about going abroad, an MBA from an Indian B school is also a great option.
An MTech in IIT should only be considered if you have a low CGPA and have no project achievement up your sleeve. The MTech course will give you a second chance to improve your grades and work well on projects improving your profile as a whole. This will help you open better Ph.D. options. But if you are not planning to do one, then MTech is again of no use.
One of my friends is studying at NIT Trichy and here is what they do on their weekends.
It is up to you whether you want to go out of the campus or stay in. You can enjoy your weekend either way.
Here are a few notable alumni of NIT Trichy that have largely contributed to society in various fields.
Academics
Business
Arts and Entertainment
Government, Politics, and Social Works: Palanivel Thiagarajan, Minister of Information Technology and Digital Services, Tamil Nadu
It’s important to note that this list is not exhaustive and there are many more notable alumni that have made huge contributions.
This is the question that scares each and every student while joining a new campus as a fresher. At NIT Trichy there is no such thing to worry about as there is no such thing as ragging in the campus.
After some past events in the college, the ragging on the campus has stopped and the college management is also very strict about that. There is a proper helping number and email ids through which you can immediately complain about any kind of misbehavior or ragging to the department and they will take action as soon as possible.
You won’t face any kind of dominance or bias studying at either college. The students are friendly and unless you provoke the other party, no one’s going to interfere in your business or harass you. It’s good to make friends belonging to diverse cultures rather than limiting yourself to certain cultural boundaries. Usually, IITs and NITs have very friendly seniors and peers and there isn’t ragging in any form.
Remember you are not here just to score a high grade or win medals. Rather, you are here to change your life and yourself and only learning from others' experiences will help you go a long way. So don’t worry and go for either NIT Trichy or NIT Warangal and make the most out of the available resources. Be empathetic and always think from a broader perspective. Only then can you attain new heights.
You should give preference to courses rather than the college. It is necessary to know about them beforehand. I can provide you a brief idea about each of the courses so that your choice becomes a little easier.
If you want to do CSE or ECE, then BITS Pilani would be an excellent choice. For Chemical Engineering, IIT Bombay is a very good choice.
NITs generally are very good in core branches and for CSE and ECE they may not be a very good choice as the faculty is not good.
Undoubtedly, the best coder in NIT-Trichy is Sudharsan Mohan. Here’s why:
Apart from all the technical stuff, he is one of the most humble persons you will meet. Despite reaching heights, he always helps anyone with doubts in subjects and even teaches before the exams.
That’s why all the members of the CSE Dept. 2014 (students and faculties) are proud of him and feel honored to have studied with him.
