Insights of NIT Karnataka.

Placements: Nitk mechanical is the best among all NITs in the QRF ranking. It has a placement rate of about 85 percent. Major core companies that came for placements this year were Apple for mechanical with a minor in ECE, L&T, Bajaj, Suzuki, ONGC, and HPCL. IN 2025 the average package for mechanical is 15 LPA. Internship opportunities are abundant across branches with a stipend of roughly 20k to 1 Lakh per month and many PPOs.

Infrastructure: Mechanical depth of Nitk has one of the best infrastructures among all departments. It has all the research related facilities, specialized labs like CAD/CAM, Internal combustion engines, and advanced research labs in areas such as strength of materials, robotics etc. Hostels have double and triple sharing rooms with 2 common washrooms on each floor. Ethernet facility for the internet.

Faculty: Nitk has very experienced faculty members. Associate professors specializing in areas like advanced manufacturing, composite materials, tribology, machines design. The course curriculum is designed in a way that makes a student industry ready. The first 3 semesters of mechanical are a bit easy. It gets difficult after the 3rd semester.

Other: I chose this course because I am very interested with automobile. NITK has the best mechanical department among all NITs. There are 3 cultural fests that are conducted every year. The main annual fest is Incident which is held in March.

NIT Surathkal College review.

Placements: In the mechanical engineering department, it was impressive. Over half, and sometimes even up to 80% of students, land jobs every year. Some of the big players that came looking for fresh talent include GAIL, HPCL, BPCL, BHEL, and MRPL, just to name a few. We had graduates snagging positions at dream companies like Reliance, Tata, Samsung, and Bajaj, too. Internships, companies like Caterpillar, JSW Steel, and Rather Energy were regulars around here. It was a great time to be part of this field.

Infrastructure: The campus includes all the essential academic and research buildings, a central library, well equipped labs, and classrooms with Wi-Fi. Students could use residential facilities and dining halls. The hostel accommodation was generally seen as satisfactory. The food in the mess was just average. It was a health center with medical professionals available, in case someone got sick.

Faculty: The teaching staff was made up of qualified individuals with a solid grasp of their subjects. They get creative with their methods, which keeps students engaged. They often used storytelling and discussions to explain concepts. The curriculum was spot on, and students who were well versed in the material usually ace their exams.

Review of NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology.

Placements: In the mechanical engineering branch, the placement percentage is okay and it is 85%. The highest package is 36 LPA and the lowest package is 6 LPA. The average package is 12 LPA, which is decent. Top recruiting companies for our course are Ola, Uber, Flipkart, Amazon, etc. 70% of students get internships if they do well. Many students go into the software field rather than the core field.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. New buildings are still being made and our department is old. Wi-Fi is there and classrooms are old. Tables also look old, but they are still good. The library has all the facilities with all the books. The hostel looks new but the food in the mess is bad. Sometimes, we cannot even eat that. There is one medical center in the middle of campus which is near the boys' and girls' hostels. Sports complex is also there which has all the games and a gym.

Faculty: Our faculty members are well-educated. They have a lot of knowledge but they lack in teaching. The course curriculum is up to date. It is helpful in making students industry-ready for the core jobs. However, students prefer the software field. Semester exams are difficult but can be passed if studied well. The pass percentage is around 95%.

Review of NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology.

Placements: All I want to say about placements is that mechanical students tend to get selected more into non-core, management, and other sectors than into core mechanical roles. So, yes, the placements look good on paper, but you need to realize there aren't many jobs available, and even if there are, they don't pay well.

Infrastructure: The hostels are pretty decent. The first-year boys' hostel is basic, but after that, the second-year Shivalik hostel is basically a hotel. The third and fourth-year single rooms are excellent. I think you won't be disappointed with them. They are better than most government colleges, though they have some issues too.

Faculty: The college offers a basic engineering education. It's the same as every other college, with nothing new an old curriculum that's recycled repeatedly. The teachers try to teach, but their assistants (TAs) often outperform them in teaching quality. It's pretty standard. Like every other college, there's nothing particularly innovative.

It is a awesome college.

Placements: The percentage of students got placed in my college is approximately 97%. The highest package is 52 LPA, the lowest package is 6 LPA, and the average package is 15 LPA-18 LPA. The recruiting companies are too good, and they can achieve bigger and bigger choices.

Infrastructure: Scenic & well-equipped A 295-acre beachside campus featuring private access, lush green zones, and world-class sports facilities including swimming pool, tennis courts, gyms, and stadium. Everything is good, having this kind of college is okay. Mess food is decent.

Faculty: NITK Surathkal is one of India's premier engineering institutions, particularly strong in core and technical branches due to its excellent faculty, research environment, natural campus, and placement success, if you're up for a slightly high. Faculty of AI isn't that good, most we have to do is self-study.

Other: There are no academic or cultural restrictions.
