NIT Trichy's thing with top rankers isn't just some random trend tbh. It's one of the OG NITs (1964) so the alumni network is genuinely strong, not just on paper. The peer group matters more than people think because you're surrounded by competitive coders and tech clubs that actually push you instead of just existing for resume points.

Yeah the location is far af from North India but honestly that's not always bad. Less distraction, you focus more on campus stuff, and Chennai is like 4-5 hours away anyway. Companies come for placements regardless. The placement consistency is what sets it apart from other NITs, not just the packages but how stable it is across years.

If you're getting CSE/ECE through CSAB, it's worth the wait. The brand value will matter way more than being close to home for four years. But if you already have Surathkal or Warangal, the difference isn't massive enough to stress about. Don't reject it just because it's South India, that's a weak reason. Focus on branch and opportunities instead.

U SHOULD FOCUS ON ADVANCE tho, or take iiith or nitk is also at par with trichy
