ECS NIT Silchar

In the late fifties, the Government of India decided to establish Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs) under the Quality Technical Education Policy one each in every major state with the prime objective of imparting quality technical education throughout the country and to foster national integration. These Regional Engineering Colleges were established as joint ventures of the Government of India and the respective State Governments. Assam is considered as the flag bearer of the Northeast India and so in the year 1967 the 15th REC was officially established in Silchar. However it took almost a decade for REC Silchar to start its academic programmes due to various constraints.

The first batch of students were admitted in 1977 in the BE program in 3 branches of engineering. The first batch of BE students were awarded degrees in the year 1982-83. The affiliation was later shifted to Assam University in 1994.

On the basis of the report of the High Powered Joint Expert Committee of AICTE and UGC under the chairmanship of Prof. S. K. Joshi, Director General of Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Regional Engineering College Silchar has been transformed and upgraded to National Institute of Technology, Silchar with the status of Deemed University on 28th June 2002. The institute has been taken over by Government of India and subsequently made into a fully funded Central Government Autonomous Institution. This ensures a better financial status for NIT Silchar and will accelerate its growth ensuring that it becomes one of the premier technological institutes of not just the North- East but the entire nation. The institute has remodeled its curriculum and academic activities in line with that of the IITs. With its Deemed University status, the institute started awarding degrees from the year 2002 and the first convocation of the institute was held on 16 February 2004. The Government of India declared the Institute as an Institute of National Importance by enacting the National Institutes of Technology Act 2007.

One of the most renowned technical institution for national importance. Established in 1967 as a Regional engineering College. After that, it is converted to a NIT in 2002.

National Institute Of Technology, Silchar ( , ) is one of the 31 National Institutes of Technology of India and was established in 1967 as a Regional Engineering College in Assam.

I am a student here. It's simply awesome. Presently it has 9 boys hostels and 3 girls hostels. It has Asia's biggest digital library in the form of Bharat Ratna Dr. Abdul Kalam Learning Resource Centre. The infrastructure is great and the Placements statistics is decent. The campus is full of natural beauty and water bodies. The institute offers both UG and PG courses from B.Tech to PhD.
P.S- The mess food is above average and below good.
