Yes, it is possible to get admission to a BE in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) in NIT Trichy without taking the GATE exam. GATE is specifically meant for postgraduate (M.Tech) admissions, not undergraduate (B.E.) admissions.

For a BE course, the procedure is as follows:

1. Eligibility:

You must have completed your 10+2 (or equivalent) with the required subjects (Physics, Mathematics, and an additional subject like Chemistry or Biology).
You should meet the required percentage cutoff as defined by NIT Trichy (usually around 75% for general category students).

2. Entrance Exam:

You must qualify JEE Main, which is the entrance test for undergraduate admissions to NITs, including NIT Trichy.

3. JoSAA Counseling:

Once you qualify for JEE Main, you must attend the JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) counseling.
You will choose NIT Trichy as your first choice for admission during counseling. The seat will be allotted according to your JEE Main rank.

4. Seat Allotment and Admission:

You will be given a seat at NIT Trichy according to your JEE Main rank if you are within the cutoff.
Once seat allotment is over, you are required to present yourself at NIT Trichy for verification of documents and payment of fee to secure your admission.

5. Verification Documents:

You'll be required to bring your original documents (10th and 12th mark sheets, JEE Main score card, identity proof, etc.) for verification purposes.

6. Fee Payment

Once the seat is finalized, you will be paying the entry fee, which is different according to your category (OBC, SC, ST, general).

In short, GATE is not necessary for admission in the BE program at NIT Trichy.
