NIT Trichy

When we think of Engineering college what comes to the mind first is the IITs of India. No doubt they are the most coveted & top most Engineering Institutions. However their seat intakes were & still are woefully inadequate. In order to mitigate this problem, the Govt. Of India passed an ordnance in 1961 and formed 8 Premier Engineering Colleges and named them as Regional Engineering College. They were at various places like Warangal, Raipur, Durgapur, Kurukshetra, Patna etc including one in Trichy in the year 1964.

History and Pedigree of NIT Trichy

When we think of Engineering college what comes to the mind first is the IITs of India. No doubt they are the most coveted & top most Engineering Institutions. However their seat intakes were & still are woefully inadequate. [hana-code-insert name=’rectangle’ /]In order to mitigate this problem, the Govt.

They were at various places like Warangal, Raipur, Durgapur, Kurukshetra, Patna etc including one in Trichy in the year 1964.

In the year 2002 the HRD Ministry decided to Rename all these RECs (As They Were Called, With A Sense Of Pride) as National Institute of Technology. They also decided to open 17 of such new colleges. All the NITs have been accorded Deemed Engineering Universities status by the AICTE, Govt Of India. Today there are 20 NITs in India.

From the time of its Constitution NIT – Trichy continued to build an unrivalled reputation as an Engineering Institution of excellence within the group of RECs. Students who did not manage to get admission to IITs would immediately join NIT & mostly we could hear that it was in Trichy. As time went by NIT – Trichy went on to build on its reputation of excellence, and as it stands today it is the Apex NIT for all the NITs in India. Such is the impeccable Pedigree & Standing it commands in the minds of the people.

NIT – Trichy as it stands today

Today, it offers excellent quality education in as diverse a range of subjects as Humanities to Electronics & communications Engineering. It has 16 Academic Branches and predominantly consists of one stream of engineering or the other. The Academic branches are : Architecture, Chemical Engg, Chemistry, Civil Engg, Computer Applications,  Computer Science and Engg, Electrical & Electronics Engg, Electronics and Communications Engg, Humanities, Instrumentation and Control Engg, Management Studies, Mathematics, Mechanical Engg, Metallurgical and Materials Engg, Production Engg, and the last one being Physics.  The Chairman of this institution Mr.R.Seshasayee is himself a very well known & highly respected figure in the Indian Industrial Circles, and he has been the MD of Ashok Leyland Ltd, the Premier Commercial Vehicles Manufacturer Of India.

In fact their management studies is being operated as a separate school itself and it is named as Department Of Management Studies who offer their own set of subjects and specializations. This particular school is a fairly recent addition, keeping in with the mood and modernity of today’s economy. In fact The MBA programme at Department of Management Studies is funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, and is the only funded MBA programme among the 20 NIT’s present in India today.  Hence essentially it has maintained its roots but has grown into a much larger institution. The institution has the autonomy to decide upon newer courses & curriculum in view of its Deemed University Status.
