Academics


The University of Madras, with the approval of the University Grants Commission and the Government of Tamilnadu, conferred Autonomous Status on the National Institute of Technology (formerly Regional Engineering College), Tiruchirappalli from the academic year 1978-79 in respect of its Post-graduate courses in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied and Basic Sciences and Management Engineering. With this conferment and recognition, the Institute has autonomy in such matters as framing its own syllabi and devising its own methods of evaluation and examinations for all its Post-graduate courses. In 1982, when the Bharathidasan University was established at Tiruchirappalli, the Institute became affiliated to the new University continuing the autonomous status in respect of its Post-graduate programmes. Students who were admitted to the various Autonomous Post-graduate programmes of the Institute during the period 1978-82 were awarded degrees by the University of Madras with the name of the Regional Engineering College, Tiruchirappalli indicated on the Degree Certificates. For students admitted in 1982 the Degrees are awarded by the Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli. The Institute has acquired the “Deemed University” status from 28.07.2003 and degrees are awarded by the institute itself.

Director's Welcome

Our campus is witnessing a significant growth in R&D activities during this academic year. Apart from a large consultancy number of works undertaken by our engineering departments, academic research gains its momentum day by day. Nearly 75 research scholars are undergoing their Ph.D in various fields in all the departments. We have introduced M.S by Research in all engineering departments in order to cater the aspiring engineers directly to pursue their research. 178 papers have been published by our faculty members and research scholars in different refereed journals of international and national repute. 210 papers have been presented in various conferences, seminars and symposia held at national and international levels. Two international conferences were organized one by the Department of ICE (TIMA 2007) and another by the department of Chemistry (ICNA 2007). Our faculty members have delivered nearly 168 invited lectures in different forums across the country and abroad.

Our institute has signed MOUs with industries and institutions in India and abroad to promote collaborative research and consultancies. MOU signed with BHEL, our neighbouring industrial campus provides an opportunity for our young researchers to use the infrastructure in BHEL. BHEL offers scholarships for such research scholars pursuing PhD and MS. The MUO signed with our then parent Bharadhidasan University looks forward collaborative research activitiesto be undertaken in both campuses. Another MOU has been signed with NIMS Japan for the collaborative research in the area of nanotechnology. MOUs with IBM and HP, leading software industries have been executed. HP has offered a Chair position to monitor the ongoing HP projects undertaken by our students.

Apart from the ongoing projects, our faculty members have obtained 20 new major projects funded by DST, CSIR and AICTE with a total cost of Rs 2.5 Crores.

Teachers are the backbones for any academic institution. The growth of any institution will be at stake if due recognitions are not given for them. Realising this fact, Best Teacher Awards are given from this Institute Day to honour the teachers who excel in both teaching and research. 13 teachers are receiving the awards for this year.

Similar to the honouring of the teachers, the best department of the institute has to be recognized and honoured for their outstanding contribution towards teaching and research. For this year the award goes to the Department of Production engineering.

Under TEQIP our institute has been selected as a Lead Institution. 15 faculty members underwent training in universities abroad for one month. The Library is well equipped with latest books in all the areas of Engineering & Technology.

50 new faculty members are recruited this month. I am sure with these additional faculty members, our performance in research front will improve significantly.

    Tiruchirappalli City

    Tiruchirappalli is the fourth most populous city of Tamil Nadu. It is situated in the centre of the state, on the banks of the Kaveri River. The city is a City corporation, the administrative headquarters of Tiruchirapalli District.
    Trichy encompasses Srirangam , the foremost Vaishnavite temple and the biggest functioning Hindu temple in the world. Trichy also emcompasses "ThiruAnaikka" (ThiruvAnaikkaval), one of the five main abodes ("Panchaboodha Sthalam") of Lord Shiva. ThiruvAnaikkaval is the House of Water.

    Origins

    The name of the town, "Tiruchirapalli", originated as a tribute (thiru in Tamil means respected) to a Jain monk called "Chira". There is also a belief that Tiruchirapalli was named after a three headed demon "Trishira" (the son of Ravana) who performed penance at the Siva temple here and obtained boons here.
    There is yet another belief about the origins of the name Trichy. Apparently the name started out as Thiru Javvandhipuram (Place of Marigold flowers; javvandhi, the Tamil name for the flower Marigold which grew (and still does) in abundance in and around this region and the word puram refers to a place of dwelling) which over time became corrupted to Trichy.

    History

    Tiruchirapalli is home to many historic temples, monuments, churches and mosques. Uraiyur (also pronounced as Oraiyur) which is the Old Tiruchy has a long tradition. With over 2,500 years of known history, it was the capital of the early Cholas. The oldest man made dam Kallanai was built by Karaikala Cholan across the river Kaveri about 10 miles from Uraiyur. It was an important town in the days of the later Cholas, Nayaks as well as during the early days of the British East India Company. The conquest of Tiruchirapalli by the British East India Company marked a major step in the British conquest of India.

    Transport

    Trichy is well connected to various parts of Tamil Nadu, by private and public bus services. The Theppakulam (chathram) bus station, near Rock Fort temple, runs local and mofussil (city-to-city) bus services which connect people to nearby towns and villages. Bus services are frequent, once every two to five minutes.
    Trichy is also well-connected to the other cities of Tamil Nadu, southern Karnataka and Kerala through private charter buses.
    The central bus station runs long distance services to major cities of the State and South India such as Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore, Bangalore, Erode, Thiruvananthapuram and Tirupathi. One can get buses from Trichy to almost any part of the state, due to its geographical location in the center of Tamil Nadu.
    On the road infrastructure front, with the completion of highway projects in Tamil Nadu state, Trichy will have four track highways from the city branching to destination Chennai, Madurai, Tanjore.

    Education

    Considered an educational town, Tiruchirapalli has schools and colleges that are hundreds of years old. College Road in Chatram has three colleges and five schools. Prominent among the educational institutions in Tiruchirapalli are Bharathidasan University, the National Institute of Technology, Trichy. The Government Law College, Tiruchirapalli was founded in 1979. Bharathidasan Institute of Management, a top-20 Indian B-school is also located in Tiruchirapalli, adjacent to NIT-T. K.A.P.V. Medical College is located close to the Central Bus Stand. Another famous college Shanmuga Arts and Science Technological Academy (Sastra)is located in Trichy.
    Indian President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, writer Sujatha (Rengarajan) studied at St Joseph's College in Trichy. R.Venkataraman (former Indian President) studied at National College in Trichy.

MBA Entrance Exams :-- Last Week Tips on Time Management

With the pressure that builds up for the brain to perform, it needs rest as well to recuperate. So, do not
neglect rest. Move around for a few minutes after concentrating for an hour or two. Your body will give signal
for break when it needs. Stretch your arms and legs to release tension. Then come back to studies refreshed.
The time so spent should not be deemed to be time wasted but time well utilized. Your system needs it.
