NIT Trichy splits its 1,038 JoSAA seats between Home State and Other State candidates, and then by category. The 2026 seat matrix gives 520 seats to Home State candidates, who are from Tamil Nadu, and 518 to Other State candidates. The table sums the category seats of both quotas.
| Category | JoSAA seats 2026 | Share of 1,038 |
|---|---|---|
| Open | 416 | 40.1% |
| OBC-NCL | 288 | 27.7% |

| EWS | 113 | 10.9% |
| ST | 72 | 6.9% |

NIT Trichy has no supernumerary female seats. NIT Trichy admission under reservation uses the same JoSAA categories. Reserved categories close at their own category ranks, as the NIT Trichy cutoff page shows.
NIT Trichy direct admission does not exist for Indian candidates in B.Tech and B.Arch, and there is no management quota seat. Every seat goes through a JEE Main rank and JoSAA or CSAB counselling. The nitt.edu admission pages list no management quota route, so NIT Trichy admission is by rank only.
| Candidate | Route to a seat |
|---|---|
| Indian candidate, B.Tech or B.Arch | JEE Main rank, JoSAA and CSAB |
| Foreign national, NRI or PIO, B.Tech or B.Arch | DASA, ICCR or SII |
| Foreign national, M.Tech, M.Arch or MBA | DASA PG scheme |
| Working professional, M.Tech, M.Arch or M.Plan | Sponsored category, with a written test or interview |
The asks for two years of experience with the sponsoring employer. The employer pays tuition of ₹70,000 a semester. A sponsored candidate gets no assistantship from the institute.
NIT Trichy admits NRI and PIO candidates through DASA, and it has no separate paid NRI seat. DASA candidates for UG show a JEE Main rank and Class 12 marks at reporting, as the 2026 notice lists. DASA tuition for UG was US4,000 for others. The NIT Trichy fees page gives the rest of the fee.
A real B.Tech seat shows on your own JoSAA or CSAB login, and you pay the institute fee only on its portal. NIT Trichy asks for payment through SB Collect and takes no demand draft, cash or cheque. The institute lists ug@nitt.edu for B.Tech queries during the schedule.
Do Not Pay Anyone for a Seat
NIT Trichy accepts no payment by demand draft, cash, cheque or pay order for admission. If a person offers a management seat, report it to ug@nitt.edu.
NIT Trichy gives tuition remission to B.Tech and B.Arch students from families with income below ₹5 lakh. Full remission applies below ₹1 lakh, and two-thirds from ₹1 lakh to ₹5 lakh. SC, ST and PwD students pay no tuition. The income certificate must be issued on or after 1 April 2026 for the 2026 batch. The institute refunds the remission later, so pay the full fee first. Your NIT Trichy admission is complete only after that payment. The NIT Trichy scholarships page lists the government and alumni schemes.
The four-year NIT Trichy B.Tech costs ₹6,63,750 for the 2026 batch, and the UG median pay of ₹14,01,000 is about 2.1 times that fee. The fee is from the NIT Trichy fees page, for Open, EWS and OBC-NCL students, and it excludes hostel and mess. The pay is the median in the NIT Trichy placement data for graduates of 2024-25. The fee batch and the pay batch differ. NIT Trichy publishes no average or highest package, so read the ratio as a rough guide when you plan NIT Trichy admission.

Fee as Months of Median Pay
Fee divided by one year of the median, before tax
The fee equals about 5.7 months of the median pay, before tax and living cost. That is ₹6,63,750 divided by ₹14,01,000, multiplied by 12 months. The assumption is one year of the stated pay, with no tax, no rent and no loan interest. Tuition alone, at ₹5,00,000, equals about 4.3 months. With two-thirds remission, the fee is ₹3,30,414, which equals about 2.8 months. With no tuition, the fee is ₹1,63,750, which equals about 1.4 months. This is a rough guide only, and your own time will differ.
| Fee case, 2026 batch | Eight-semester fee | Months of median pay |
|---|---|---|
| Open, EWS, OBC-NCL, no remission | ₹6,63,750 | 5.7 |
| Income ₹1 lakh to ₹5 lakh | ₹3,30,414 | 2.8 |
| Income below ₹1 lakh, SC, ST, PwD | ₹1,63,750 | 1.4 |
The return is good for a student who gets a placed offer near the median, and weaker for one who does not. In 2024-25, 738 of 981 UG graduates were placed, which is 75.2 percent of the class. Another 159 chose higher studies. The median fell from ₹15,76,000 for the 2022-23 batch to ₹14,01,000 for 2024-25.
This return suits you if you can accept any branch your rank gives, and if you want a government seat with a published median. It suits you less if you want one branch and your rank does not reach it. In 2025-26, CSE had 88.9 percent of registered students placed, against 70.7 percent for Civil. It also suits you less if you join B.Arch. The B.Arch fee is ₹8,25,550, and its median was ₹5,50,000 for 2024-25 graduates, so the fee equals about 18 months of that pay.
