How is NIT Agartala in terms of academics, hostels, facilities, studies, and placements?

Sugandhi Garg

03 Oct 22

NIT Agartala is a decent option in terms of academics, hostel, facilities, studies, and placements. Academics are decent. But there aren’t many chances for research. Professors are well-experienced and supportive but most of the time you need to depend on self-study.

Being a Central Govt. college, NITA offers good facilities. The departmental library, workshops, and laboratories are well-equipped. It offers virtual class facilities. ISRO has an innovation incubation center on the campus of NITA.

The institute has a decent placement record. According to the recent highlights of NIT Agartala placements, the highest and average CTC offered was INR 36 LPA, and 5 LPA, respectively.

Which is better, NIT Silchar, NIT Agartala, or NIT Mizoram?

Sudipta Ghose

26 Jul 21

One of my close friends graduated from the CSE department of NIT Agartala. I have friends from NIT Silchar and NIT Mizoram as well. Based on what I heard from them, I will say that NIT Silchar is a better option. The reasons why NIT Silchar is better than the other two institutes are as follows.

NIT Silchar is ranked better than NIT Agartala and NIT Mizoram by NIRF.
NIT Silchar has a better placement record.
Students mostly prefer NIT Silchar over NIT Agartala and NIT Mizoram. So, it has a better opening and closing JEE/AIEEE ranks.

The difference between NIT Silchar and NIT Agartala is minimal. Both of these two are tier 2, old NITs and have similar pros and cons. NIT Silchar is marginally better than Agartala. However, the latter is catching up quite quickly.

NIT Agartala has the only supercomputer in the North East. ISRO has opened an incubation center in NIT Agartala, which is the first in India. Even, few companies choose to conduct joint placement drives for NIT Agartala and NIT Silchar.

So, there is not much difference between NIT Silchar and NIT Agartala. If you are getting your preferred branch at NIT Agartala, don’t choose NIT Silchar over it. As for NIT Mizoram, it is a fairly new institute and needs time to catch up with the other two institutes.

Having a friend who is a student of NITA and attended the counseling of AKTU I think I might be able to answer your question.

He was in a similar situation as you are in right now. His UPTU rank was around 2800 and his JEE Main rank was around 33000.

According to some research I did, I think NIT Agartala is much better than IET Lucknow in terms of both core and CSE/ IT branches.
NIT Agartala has been ranked as the top 75th engineering college by NIRF.
In terms of CSE/ IT branches, the placement scenario at NIT Agartala is much better compared to IET Lucknow.
In terms of core branches, the placement record is also very good.
The average package is around 5 to 6 lakh per annum in core branches.
The top companies that recruit students from IET Lucknow include Byju's, Unacademy, Airtel, Idea, BSNL, Wipro, TCS Digital, TCS Ninja, etc.
The top companies that recruit students from NIT Agartala are Google, Microsoft, and many service-based IT companies.

Should I choose BIT Mesra or NIT Agartala for production engineering?

Vineet Kumar

20 Apr 21

BIT Mesra is hands down a better choice over NIT Agartala. A few of my friends have studied at both BIT Mesra and NIT Agartala. Following points are based on their respective experience:

BIT has an amazing infrastructure, facilities, brand value, and student culture. Hostels are well maintained and are connected with High-speed internet facilities. The campus has a student-friendly ambiance and the weather at Ranchi is top-notch.
The curriculum is well balanced and up-to-date with today's technological trends. Apart from studies, the institute even focuses on various personality development and career counseling programs.
Many core companies visit the campus frequently and IT companies are always there for backup in the worst-case scenario so that you will not remain unplaced.
The only factor in which NIT Agartala seems better is in terms of tuition fees. BIT Mesra has twice the fee of NIT Agartala but it is justified for the quality of education, infrastructure, and facilities they provide.

Quick comparison:

Particulars	BIT Mesra	NIT Agartala
Total seats offered(CSE)	33	56
Entrance exam	BITSAT	JEE mains
Cutoff	29665-35847	200254-251247
Tuition fee	1,46,500	77,700
Placement rate	82%	75%
Highest CTC offered	28 LPA	17LPA

If you are truly interested in production engineering, it's better to opt BIT Mesra rather than NIT Agartala as BIT leads in every single aspect over NITA.

Which one is good Tezpur University or NIT Silchar or NIT Agartala?

Ayan Pal,

11 Nov 21

It is recommended that you go for any of the NIT Agartala or NIT Silchar over Tezpur University (TU). Here’s mentioning some points as to why it will be a better option.

The major thing the NITs possess is the brand name. This name could turn out to be really beneficial for your career ahead.
Overall placements at NITs are much better. Whereas TU is known only for its CSE department.
Top companies like Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, KPMG, ICICI Prudential, American Express, Barclays, etc. take part in NITs placement programs.
These companies offer salary packages ranging from 12-14 LPA. The average CTC rises upto 8.5 LPA.
The administration of NITs are well organized unlike TU.
Tezpur University being a newer establishment has very less industrial exposure, this is certainly better in the NITs.
NITs faculty is highly qualified and well experienced.

If you are interested in studying CSE then only consider TU, otherwise NITs are the best at everything. Being a more experienced institute NITs can provide you the proper guidance and connections required to move forward in your career.

Which is better - PEC Chandigarh or NIT Agartala?

Gagan Umang

04 May 21

Although NIT Agarta holds a bigger brand name, it is still a growing NIT. On the other hand, PEC has an older history of about 100 years and continues to flourish.

Categories	NIT Agartala	PEC Chandigarh
Course Fee	5.14 - 6.31 lakh	6.39 lakh
Placement Percentage	75%	85-90%
Highest CTC	13 LPA	40 LPA
Average CTC	5-6 LPA	10 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Accenture, Goldman Sachs, Godrej, L&T, etc.	Google, Amazon, Capgemini, etc.

Here are some insights into the PEC according to my friends who completed their B.Tech from there.

Faculty: PEC has some of the best-experienced faculties and many research scholars. On the other hand, NIT struggles to have enough experienced professors as the NIT is newly established.
Location: Chandigarh is at advantage any day because of its easy proximity and being an education hub. It is better in terms of facilities and coaching centers too. Whereas, Agartala is at a huge disadvantage due to accessibility and opportunities.
Quality of students: You can see a huge difference in the cutoff trend of JEE Mains rank for both the colleges. In the case of NIT Agartala, about 50% of the total seats are reserved for home-state candidates in the range of 90k to 1.5 lakh. Whereas the cutoff trend is much lower at PEC with just over 60 K for branches like metallurgy!
Clubs: You can choose over various clubs at PEC Chandigarh. Theseclubs are well renowned and they have even gained respect in IITs during fests and events.

All in all, it is recommended to choose PEC Chandigarh any day over NIT Agartala. PEC definitely belongs to the league with NIT Surat, Allahabad, and others. However, if the NIT tag is all that you are looking for, then go for NIT Agartala.
