About National Institute of Technology Tiruchirapalli

National Institute of Technology Tiruchirapalli, commonly known as NIT Trichy (formerly known as Regional Engineering College, Tiruchirappalli), was established in 1964 to cater the needs of satisfactory higher education.

It is a public engineering institution situated near the heart city of Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu and located in an impressive and pollution-free campus with panoramic green surroundings, elegant landscaping of 800 acres of land and has 16 departments.

Institute At A Glance:

In 1964, it was established as Regional Engineering College under the affiliation with University of Madras, Chennai.

The institute was started with a joint & cooperative venture of the Govt. of India & Govt. of Tamil Nadu in 1964 and it is recognized as an Institute of National Importance (INI), New Delhi by the Government of India under the National Institutes of Technology Act, 2007.

It is also recognized & approved by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi.

In 2001, Anna University, Chennai was granted authority over REC Trichy. But this was temporary, however, as the 40-year collaboration between the Center and the State Governments for all the REC's finally dissolved.

Therefore, the centre upgraded all the REC's to National Institutes of Technology (NIT) and completely took control of them under the Ministry of Human Resource Development.

In 2002, former Minister of Human Resource Development Murali Manohar Joshi decided to upgrade the RECs to NITs with the goal of modeling each institute based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with roots in Indian culture.

In 2003, the institution was granted the status of "Deemed University" with the approval of the UGC/AICTE and Govt. of India.

It was renamed the National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli under Societies Registration Act XXVII of 195 and was finally granting degrees under its own name. In 2007, the National Institutes of Technology Act was passed, giving the NITs equal footing to the IITs in terms of pay scales, funding, etc.

At present, the institute offers 10 undergraduate and 22 graduate programs.

Undergraduate programs lead to the B.Tech degrees, while the graduate students and postgraduate students earn M.Tech, M.S. (by Research) and Ph. D degrees respectively. NITT also has a Management and Architecture School.
