NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
TIRUCHIRAPALLY, TAMILNADU

The National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli was formerly known as REC Tiruchirappallii. In its emblem the three branches are represented by the transmission tower, Archimedes lifting the earth with a lever and a multi-storied structure. At the bottom of the cog wheel is the Sanskrit phrase - 'Satyameva Jayate' meaning, 'Truth Alone Triumphs'. The two lighted lamps on either side symbolise the light of knowledge and truth. In the foreground are the major landmarks of the city: the ‘Rockfort Temple’ and the ‘Our Lady of Lourdes Church’. At the base of the Rockfort Temple is 1964, the year of establishment. The emblem is embellished with a circular band with the expansion of NIT on the upper arc and Tiruchirappalli, in the lower arc.
