Dear Bikramjit Sharma,
be aware that in the canonical NVT ensemble
the total energy is NOT a conserved quantity.
Best,

However, during equilibration, the total energy continuously decreases while KE and PE shows well behaved fluctuations after a few initial steps. I have run the equilibration for 10 ps and I think that should suffice to converge the properties of the system. Even though the total energy keeps on decreasing. I am attaching my input file and the energy plots here. Any suggestion will be highly acknowledged.
