What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at NIT Trichy?

Here are a few helpful tips for first-year students at NIT Trichy for a smooth college life experience

1. Prepare yourself for the extreme climate and don’t let it affect your studies in any way.
2. Get yourself a cycle as the campus is huge and walking might waste a lot of time. Also, make sure your cycle is locked when you park it.
3. Don't limit your interactions to a certain level or kind of people only. A huge social circle will enhance the learning experience as all your peers are exceptionally talented.
4. Always contact your seniors in case of any issues they will guide you willingly. 
5. Even if you are feeling homesick, participate in the fests and try to involve yourself as much as you can. These experiences will give you amazing memories. 
6. Don't fall into the trap of ‘Grades don’t matter’. No matter what people say grades matter a lot in the long run be it for placements or higher studies so don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
7. Identify your passions and look for the club that aligns with it. College life is about overall personality development and not just academics.

So, go ahead and have a blast!
