Overall I'm Satisfied with NIT Trichy, The placements are excellent.

Placements: Almost all students (except 8-12) were placed. The highest Package was 52 LPA, and the average package was 18 LPA. The top Companies were Bring Central and AWS. Because of the recession, the internship situation is quite bad only 8 students got internships. The top Roles were SDA and Data Analyst.

Infrastructure: The labs are Excellent, Central Library is very good. Hostel Quality is not very good, we were allocated 4 seater room and the Wi-Fi coverage in Hostel is very poor. Mess is also good. NITT Hospital is open 24/7. NITT Have an Indoor sports center, Indoor badminton court, volleyball court, Multiple Basketball courts, Football ground, Cricket Ground, Open Gym and Swimming Pool.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, but we don't have any time to clear any doubts from them outside the class. The teaching quality is very good but the pace of the lecture is quite fast and it's very difficult to keep up with the pace. We have all the core CS topics in our syllabus, OS, DBMS, NETWORK, DSA and also we have Data Analytics, Machines Learning in our syllabus so I would say it's relevant. Semester exam difficulty is medium, we can manage CTs (Class Tests) with one-night study, But for FAT (Final Assessment Test) we need to study the topics beforehand. Almost All the students generally pass except 5-10 students.

Other: I chose MCA because it was the natural choice after BCA. NITT has, NITT FEST and FESTEMBER events (cultural), and our MCA course has VERSION (Teach), SPIELMAC (Sports), INFOTREK (Teach), and other departments also have many other events.

A good college that you can join.

Placements: About 83% of students are placed in my batch; the strength of my batch is 109. The highest package in my batch is INR 44 LPA, and the lowest one is INR 7 LPA from this year until now. Top recruiting companies include Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Uber, Goldman Sachs, Samsung Semiconductor, BNY Mellon, Legato, and many more. In my batch, in total, 13 students got internships and 12 got FTEs after internships, and the companies are Amazon, BNY Mellon, Goldman Sachs, SAP Labs, etc. Roles offered were SDE 1, Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Cyber Security, Associate Manager, and Deputy Manager.

Infrastructure: The facilities for my course and other courses are almost the same; for all batches of MCA, there is a separate class available, intellectual teachers are there, lab facilities are provided along with a good internet connection, and there is a study room called Octagon in which students can study 24 hours a day with high-speed internet and AC facilities. Students can also study in the library until the evening, which is a huge library. Almost all types of gaming facilities are available: gyms, swimming pools, and more. In hostels, 24*7 Wi-Fi, water, and washing machines are available, along with one common room where we can enjoy cricket matches on TV. Genuinely, food quality is average, with both north Indian and south Indian mess options available. There are numerous canteens open until 2 a.m., and hospital services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Faculty: Some of the teachers are helpful, and they are so qualified. Where teaching quality is above average, MCA is not as powerful as compared to B.Tech and M.Tech courses at NIT Trichy, but it is above average, we can say. As compared to all other NITs, NIT Trichy's semester exam is the toughest; here, students get an 8.5 CGPA out of 10 CGPA very rarely.

Other: I chose this course to become a good software engineer. The best thing about my course is that it is fully dedicated to software engineers. There are some outdated subjects available in my course that should be removed. In terms of events, I think NIT Trichy is very nice for Festember, NITT Fest, Pragyan, SportsFete, and all types of festival and events.
