National Institute of Technology Agartala

What is the placement record at National Institute of Technology Agartala?

In the latest 2026 placement cycle, National Institute of Technology Agartala recorded an average package of ₹9.83 LPA, a highest package of ₹52 LPA, and a placement rate of 80.00% for its B.Tech batch (as reported up to June 2026). More than 250 companies visited the NIT Agartala campus during this drive, recruiting across circuital and core engineering branches. The institute is a government-funded National Institute of Technology in Tripura, and its placement strength is concentrated in CSE, ECE and EEE, where median offers run well above the institute-wide median. The 2026 figures mark a normalisation after the exceptionally high 95.30% B.Tech placement rate recorded in the 2024 cycle, when the highest package also touched ₹52 LPA.

The numbers below are the factual spine of this page: a ₹9.83 LPA average in 2026, a ₹52 LPA institute peak repeated in both 2024 and 2026, a ₹41 LPA peak in 2025 from Nvidia, and a UG median that the NIRF report places at ₹7,47,500 for the 2024-25 graduating cohort. Read together, they show NIT Agartala as a recruiter-active NIT where the headline package and the median diverge sharply, so branch choice matters a great deal.

Year-Wise Placement Statistics

The table below answers the single most-searched question about NIT Agartala placements: how have the headline numbers moved across 2026, 2025 and 2024? It lists the highest package, average package, median package and percentage placed for each year so an applicant can see both the peak offers and the more realistic middle of the distribution. Where the institute has not published an official average for a given year, the cell is marked as not officially released; the median (sourced from the NIRF data report) is the most reliable mid-point for those years. Read the highest-package column as the single best outlier offer and the median column as what a typical placed student can expect.

The standout takeaway is that NIT Agartala's headline peak of ₹52 LPA has appeared twice (2024 and 2026), confirming it is a repeatable ceiling rather than a one-off. The gap between the ₹52 LPA peak and the ₹7.47 lakh UG median shows how concentrated top offers are in a few software and hardware roles. The 95.30% placement rate in 2024 was unusually high; the 80.00% rate in 2026 is a more representative figure for an NIT of this size, and the ₹9.83 LPA average sits comfortably mid-table among the newer NITs.

Top Recruiters at National Institute of Technology Agartala

National Institute of Technology Agartala draws recruiters across software product, IT services, semiconductor/hardware, finance and core engineering. The single highest-value recruiters in recent cycles were Nvidia (₹41 LPA to a B.Tech EEE student in 2025) and Morgan Stanley and Oracle for CSE roles (around ₹30 LPA and ₹19 LPA respectively). The verified recruiter list below is grouped by sector.

Software, Product & Semiconductor

Nvidia, Morgan Stanley, Oracle, PayPal, Zscaler, Siemens, Infineon Technologies, BlackRock, Alteryx, JusPay, Hexaware and SAP have all recruited from the campus, with the product and semiconductor companies driving the highest packages.

IT Services & Consulting

Capgemini, IBM, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, Infosys, TCS and Cognizant form the high-volume base of offers, hiring across CSE, ECE, EEE and other branches.

Core Engineering, Finance & PSUs

Ford, L&T, Samsung, BEL (Bharat Electronics), HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, NBCC and Gammon recruit for core mechanical, civil, electrical and finance-adjacent roles, alongside public-sector units that hire NIT Agartala graduates.

The recruiter mix tells an applicant two things: the very top packages come from a handful of product and chip companies (Nvidia, Morgan Stanley, Oracle, PayPal), while the bulk of the 700-plus offers each year come from established IT-services and core-engineering firms. A student targeting the ₹30-52 LPA band needs to be competitive for the product/semiconductor roles, which are limited in number.

Sector & Role-Wise Breakdown

NIT Agartala's offers are dominated by the circuital branches (CSE and ECE), which consistently post the highest averages, followed by core branches (mechanical, civil, electrical, instrumentation). The table below shows the indicative branch-wise package picture from the most recent published data; treat the package column as the branch average where an institute-wide average is not separately released. It answers the question every applicant asks: which branch pays best at NIT Agartala?

The breakdown makes the branch hierarchy explicit: CSE leads with a ₹14.71 LPA average and near-100% placement, ECE follows closely at ₹13.83 LPA, and EEE produced the institute's standout ₹41 LPA Nvidia offer in 2025. Core branches like mechanical and civil place well but at lower averages, with their top offers (₹34 LPA and ₹20 LPA) coming from select recruiters. For an aspirant, the data argues strongly that circuital branches at NIT Agartala carry both the highest averages and the best odds of placement.

Placement Trend Analysis

The trajectory at National Institute of Technology Agartala is best described as a high-2024 peak followed by a stabilisation in 2025-2026. The B.Tech placement rate fell from 95.30% in 2024 to 80.00% in 2026, while the highest package held firm at ₹52 LPA in both 2024 and 2026, dipping to ₹41 LPA in 2025 (the Nvidia EEE offer). The 2026 institute-wide average settled at ₹9.83 LPA, with the NIRF-reported UG median rising from ₹7,00,000 (2023-24) to ₹7,47,500 (2024-25), a sign that the middle of the distribution strengthened even as the headline placement percentage normalised.

Two forces explain this pattern. First, the broader slowdown in mass IT-services hiring across 2025 trimmed the percentage-placed figure from its 2024 high, a trend visible across most NITs, not just Agartala. Second, the institute's top-end offers stayed resilient because product, semiconductor and finance recruiters (Nvidia, Morgan Stanley, Oracle, PayPal, BlackRock) continued to pick a small number of high-value candidates, keeping the ₹52 LPA ceiling intact. The rising median alongside a falling placement percentage suggests the quality of offers held up even as volume softened. For 2026 applicants, the realistic expectation is a strong shot at placement in a circuital branch, an average near ₹9.83 LPA, and a genuine but competitive path to the ₹30 LPA-plus band through the product and chip recruiters.
