NIT-Tiruchi achieves 87% placements in 2025
The National Institute of Technology – Tiruchi (NIT-T) has achieved an 87% placement rate this year, despite prevailing global economic challenges, its Director G. Aghila said on Thursday. 'The institute managed to weather the year with minimal impact, securing 1,322 jobs across different industry sectors. Over 286 organisations participated in the campus placement process,' Ms. Aghila said on Thursday, addressing a press conference ahead of the institute's convocation on July 26. NIT-T has made progress with its Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP), with a cohort of 50 students enrolled in the four-year course launched in October 2024. The BSc. course, approved by the National Council for Teacher Education, is offered in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics streams and trains teachers for Classes XI and XII across all school boards. 'NIT-T's facilities and faculty are utilised to raise the quality of school education, especially in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) streams. As the syllabus has evolved, we have to adapt to the needs of students from the school level. There are three levels of teacher training degrees: Classes I to VIII; Classes IX and X, and Classes XI and XII. NIT-T has been given Level 3 and is among the 61 institutions selected for the project's second phase,' Ms. Aghila said. In line with the National Education Policy 2020, NIT-T has restructured its academic framework to support a flexible curriculum. 'Students now have multiple entry and exit options at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This year, students completed 160 National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) courses, leading to the transfer of 9,933 credits through the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC). So far, 9,809 students (including graduates) have obtained ABC IDs,' said Ms. Aghila. Security measures In view of recent incidents on campus, security arrangements have been tightened to ensure better monitoring of people's movements within the NIT-T grounds, Dr. Aghila said. 'We are making sure that we are getting the data of all the people who are entering the campus. In the sites where repairs are ongoing, workers cannot leave the spot until evening. We have increased the number of security personnel to improve surveillance of traffic within the campus. Besides this, based on public feedback, we have introduced two battery vehicles as a paid service to help students and faculty move inside the campus. Since the demand is high, we are planning to add two more soon,' said Ms. Aghila. The mental health needs of students are being looked into, said Ms. Aghila. NIT-T students and faculty have access to YourDOST, an online counselling service, that has been utilised by at least 1,700 persons this year, she added. Foreign students Under the Indian Cultural Exchange Programme, facilitated by Indian Council for Cultural Relations, seven foreign students have applied to study in NIT-T. The 'Study in India' programme has seen response from six students belonging to Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the United States, said NIT-T officials. As part of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, 15-20 foreign students would be sent by the U.S. college to study at NIT-T's Department of Architecture for one semester this year, said Ms. Aghila.

Boon For Mumbai, This ‘Engineering Marvel' Created History As World's 12th & India's Longest...
Last Updated: Atal Setu is a feat of modern engineering, equipped with cutting-edge safety systems, advanced road technology, and noise barriers to protect sensitive areas. The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), officially named Atal Setu, is the longest sea bridge in India and the 12th longest in the world. Inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this bridge is a significant milestone in India's infrastructure development. The 21.8-kilometre bridge, stretching across both sea and land, is designed to revolutionise travel between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Atal Setu spans 21.8 km, with 16.5 km over the sea and the remaining 5.5 km over land. Constructed at a staggering cost of over Rs 17,840 crore, the bridge is a feat of modern engineering, equipped with cutting-edge safety systems, advanced road technology, and noise barriers to protect sensitive areas. Who Built Atal Setu? The bridge's construction involved some of the world's leading infrastructure giants. The Mumbai-side section, including the land-based work near Sewri, was developed by Larsen & Toubro (L&T) in collaboration with Japan's IHI Infrastructure Systems. The Navi Mumbai side, on the other hand, was completed by Daewoo Engineering and Tata Projects Limited. Why Is Atal Setu a Game-Changer? Enhanced Connectivity: Starting at Sewri in Mumbai and ending at Nhava Sheva in Navi Mumbai, the bridge connects with major highways, including the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the Mumbai-Goa Highway. Interchanges at key points like Shivaji Nagar and Chirle ensure uninterrupted traffic flow across vital routes. Cost and Environmental Efficiency: The Maharashtra government has approved a toll of Rs 250 (one-way) for cars on the MTHL, the highest among Mumbai toll roads. However, it will still result in substantial savings. Wondering how? Travellers will save an estimated one crore litres of fuel annually, and over 25,000 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions will be reduced, according to a MoneyControl report. The bridge is expected to see a surge in property prices and values in Navi Mumbai areas such as Panvel, Ulwe, and Dronagiri. This is because the bridge brings these regions closer to key commercial hubs in Mumbai. The Atal Setu features Open Road Tolling (ORT), letting vehicles pass through toll booths at speeds of up to 100 kmph. This eliminates the need to stop at toll booths, which improves traffic flow.
