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. B.Ed 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.
