NIT Agartala Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

NIT Agartala is quite old and was established in 1965 as Tripura Engineering College. As a student of this institution, here are my honest reviews of it-

• Academics- The college offers average academics, but research facilities are lacking. But like other central government colleges, it receives good funding. The faculty is below average and students mostly depend on self-study. CSE, ECE, EE, ME, and CIVIL are good branches that you can opt for at this institution. The curriculum is at par with top institutions. 

• Hostels and Facilities- The facilities are top-notch. Libraries are well-maintained with one being a completely digital library. Workshops and labs are well-equipped and have virtual class facilities. NITA hosts a supercomputer, and ISRO established an innovation incubation centre on campus. The college has good wifi and sports facilities. The hostels are quite good but the mess food is below average.

• Location and Connectivity- Agartala is a developed but remote city. Air is the main means of connectivity because rail connectivity is quite poor. NITA is in a remote area, 23 kilometers away from the city, but buses, autos and vans are available. 

• Placement- CSE placements are average, but this is not the case with other branches. Because of its remote location, the college is visited by few companies. IT companies like Infosys, IBM, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, etc. visit for mass recruitments. Product-based IT companies like Samsung, Oracle, Info Edge, etc. also hire students. Non-IT companies like MuSigma, L&T, Kirloskar, Vedanta, etc. are also seen during the placement season. PSUs visit towards the end of the placement season. Just the top students can expect to be offered placements. 

Overall, NIT Agartala is a good college with low placements. Based on this information, you can decide whether or not to opt for it.

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. 

NIT Agartala Instrumentation Engineering started functioning in 2009 so isn’t a very old branch. As a result, it does not have a very elaborate faculty and alumni pool. 

The infrastructure and facilities are similar to other branches. The lab facilities are great with modern instruments and the professors are very cooperative and student friendly. The placements are decent too but you will have to invest extra efforts to procure the best results. You will require proficiency in a few programming languages, Data Structure, or any other such courses. This will pave your way to getting placed in a top IT firm.

In reality, NIT Agartala's core placement scenario isn’t very bright, and only a handful of around 2-3 core companies visit NITA for Instrumentation. The packages offered aren’t very promising. The last few years, however, have witnessed frequent visits of PSUs, that recruit quite a few students every year. However, getting placed in a PSU requires genuine knowledge about your branch and clarity of basic concepts.

In all, Instrumentation is a decent branch offering a plethora of opportunities given that you are willing to work hard.
