One of my friends is a TSM student pursuing his PGDM and is in his first year of college. The School of Management is one of the best and oldest business schools in South India. It is well-known in the south and has some popularity in northern India.

In comparison to other college’s hostels, the food is really good here. They have a diverse culture here. TSM celebrates almost all festivals with zeal, including Diwali, Onam, Dussehra, Pongal, and many others, so students feel at home.

TSM emphasizes not only academics but also a lot of hands-on learning. There are numerous clubs for chandai (marketing), operations (kaizen), navras (drama), zero gravity (dance), and symphony (singing). Overall, you'll have an amazing experience here.

NIT Trichy’s administration and the overall environment were quite good sometime back. However, after a few years, things have drastically gone downhill. 

A new regulation on students’ attire was put into place. However, I was shocked to notice that the security guards were not strict towards the girl students who disobeyed these orders, whereas, the boy students were strictly scolded for the same disobedience and were denied entry into the main campus.

There is a curfew on the girls’ hostel timings. On the one hand, where universities and colleges are doing away with regressive rules, the NIT Trichy administration is putting more such regressive measures into place. The hike in hostel fees is not justifiable considering how students have to face a lack of drinking water, which is one of the most basic requirements of the human body.

Social media applications like Facebook and Hotstar are banned on the NIT Trichy campus. There are timings set for using the hostel wifi. The administration is not answerable to students and student welfare is being sidelined. The institution is paying attention to its infrastructure and faculty. However, the students are being treated as secondary citizens.

Thus, the main obstacle in the social life at NIT Trichy is the administration’s behavior towards the students.

If you are only interested in scoring good marks and not gaining any knowledge in the process, then yes a month of mugging up an organizer is more than enough to get an 8+ CGPA. You can adopt this strategy till the 4th semester at the most. Soon you will regret it and realize you have been playing with your own future. 

Organizer is the escape from the understanding of concepts, a shortcut devised for those who are below average in studies. It does nothing to clarify your concepts and will give you short-term benefits only. 

In the final year it will hit you that you have wasted 4 years doing nothing and now getting jobs or preparing for competitive exams become a big task. Ultimately you will impact your career big time so it’s better to undo the mistake as soon as possible.

Both SVNIT and VIT are very good engineering colleges and both of them have their own advantages. 

• If you want a college with less strict rules, a more chill environment, fewer college fees, and an NIT tag, then you should choose SVNIT. 
• If you are planning to go abroad for higher studies or a job, then you should choose VIT as you will get a lot of opportunities there. But there is a lot of competition and the college rules are very strict too. 
• The campus of VIT is very beautiful and all the modern facilities are available there and you will find students here from all over the country. 
• The hostels at VIT are also clean and well-maintained. There are both North Indian and South Indian food available separately at the hostel mess. 

The placements of VIT are very good as it is a very popular college and all the top companies visit the campus for placements. You can easily secure a job if you possess the right skills and you prepare yourself well for the interview and be confident enough. 

Here is a brief overview of the recent placement highlight at these institutes.

Hence, VIT is a very good college where you will find the right exposure to showcase your skills and many opportunities for a bright future ahead.
