Instrumentation and Control Engineering

Hi,
In order to fulfill IIT JAM 2018 eligibility criteria, candidates should hold a Bachelors degree with at least 55% aggregate marks (50% for SC/ ST/ PwD category candidates). It may be noted that the aggregate marks should be without rounding off and take into account all subjects, including languages and subsidiaries, all years combined, informs the official website. Candidates who have appeared or will appear for their graduation exams in 2018 are also eligible to apply. For candidates who have been given letter grades/ CGPA as a substitute for percentage of marks, the equivalence in percentage of marks will be decided by the admitting college/ institute. Proof of passing graduation exam with minimum educational qualification as specified by the admitting institute should be submitted by September 30, 2018, states the official website. Besides the proof for minimum educational qualification, candidates also need to submit a physical fitness certificate at the time of admissions. Candidates found unfit to pursue his/her Science course can be denied admission by the admitting institute. https://www.shiksha.com/science/exams/iit-jam.

I believe the credibility of the above statement depends on how you judge the NITs. If your judgement is purely based on placements and packages, then I can assure with no doubt that NIT-Trichy is not just the best among all NITs but also better than a few IITs. However, if you also take into account student facilities, mess food, internet access and faculty profiles, then I myself doubt it.
2. Students have a greater role to play here than any other college.
It's true, students of NIT Trichy are not just mere college-going children, but they are involved in extra and co-curricular works, projects and clubs of far greater significance. While the computing clubs like Delta Force are the sole incharge of the college website & LAN, the entrepreneurship club ECELL have made their presence felt across the globe with their flagship annual event Ventura. Besides these, there are leisure clubs like Karate, Photography, Movie Making, Dance Troupe, Music Troupe, etc. Other technical clubs include GLUG-T (Linux & FOSS) and Sun Club (JAVA & Open Source Apps).
3. An abundant number of events for the students to keep them busy for the entire year.
NIT Trichy can boast of a huge number of quality student events that take place annually. It ranges widely from the fresher parties organized by the student clubs to various kinds of campus games and contests, along with the academic classes on Java, Linux, MATLab, C+, web, etc., by the technical clubs. Moreover, the college's main events like Pragyan, Festember and NITT Fest are entirely managed by the students with literally no intervention from the authorities.
4. The prestigious Bachelor of Survival degree (B.Surv).
Every student of NIT Trichy not only gets a B.Tech degree but also a B.Surv degree (though he doesn't get a certificate for that). By survival in NIT Trichy, I mean surviving the extremities the authorities push the students into. With exams next morning and power being cut-off from your hostels, with the horrible quality of mess food, with drinking water problems and just 10 kbps internet access, if you're still able to complete your B.Tech in 4 years, then you truly are worthy of a B.Surv.
5. NIT Trichy is a haven for Computer Science and VLSI students.
As far as VLSI is concerned, NITTrichy is considered as the best in the country. The faculty of the ECE Department are especially dedicated towards VLSI and have a number of modern laboratories for that purpose. OCTAGON, the largest computing centre.
