Established in 1967 (as REC), NIT Silchar became a National Institute in 2002. Situated on a quieter campus near Assam’s small hills, it offers engineering degrees across standard disciplines, with newer additions like AI & Data Science. The fully residential institute promotes strong academics and increasing efforts toward modern infrastructure. Despite climate-related concerns typical to northeast India, student sentiment emphasizes campus safety—especially for female students—and peer cooperation. Placements are solid: computer and electronics branches often secure average median offers around ₹14–15 LPA, with peak placements from IT and fintech majors. Alumni cite supportive seniors and a favorable academic environment. NIT Silchar is respected for blending accessible location with steady academics and improving placement culture.
