When one thinks about the best Engineering colleges in the country, IITs are the first institutes that come to one’s mind. The centre’s National Institute Ranking Framework also gives top ranks for the Engineering category to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology.
However, the National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli (also called NIT Trichy) is one exception. Since 2019, the institute has been featured consistently in the NIRF rankings for the Engineering category. In 2024, it was ranked 9th best in the country for Engineering, making it the only non-IIT to feature in the top 10.
