    My review of Mining Engineering at NITK, Surathkal.
    Placements: I am a B.Tech mining engineering student from the 2026 batch. On-campus internships are negligible, though a few students secure off-campus internships. For placements, Vedanta & JSW are the major recruiters for Mining. Vedanta gives good packages than any other core company. But they require a maximum gap of 1 year, which means the gap between the 12th/PUC and engineering should not exceed 1 year. Its CTC is 16 LPA ( in 2025) for mining engineers, and other core branch has around 14 LPA (2025).
    Infrastructure: Hostels are good. In the first year of B.Tech, 3 students need to stay in a shared room. In the second year, 2 students need to stay in a shared room. In the 3rd & 4th year, students are allotted a single sharing room in mega tower hostels. Now all rooms have LAN facilities, but it fluctuates.
    Faculty: Mining department has only around 10 - 11 faculty staff. Few are good and few are worse. Scoring is easy in mining. But for mining engineering, you won't get good materials on the internet or in the library (no good books there for mining), and the professors won't provide lecture materials.
    Other: If your ranking is low, then choosing mining engineering at NITK is the best option if you want to study in NITs.

    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.

    Review of NIT Surathkal College.
    Placements: Roughly 85 percent of students got placed, with about 6% opted for masters programs. The highest salary package reached 64 LPA, while the lowest was 6 LPA. Big names like Amazon, AWS, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Qualcomm, Nvidia, DE Shaw, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley were all on the list of recruiters.
    Infrastructure: Now, our course definitely benefits from some great facilities and infrastructure. The campus had a central library, Wi-Fi access, and digital classrooms, which was nice. The hostel accommodation was quite good, and the meals were pretty tasty, whether you were eating at the mess or the canteen. Don't forget the multi-sports complex!
    Faculty: Most of the teachers here had solid experience and good qualifications. The ones who got the most support, definitely the students aiming for job placements. The subjects were mostly entered around the financial sector, especially in areas like accounting and auditing. Overall, the staff seems pretty capable and tends to achieve great results.

    Absolutely a good college in order to learn, with better infrastructure and good placements in 2026.
    Placements: In civil engineering, we have 70% placed in different companies, and rest are for higher studies like M.Tech, MBA, M.Sc. Our college placement cell, CDC, has been doing great work for past 3-4 years. Highest package is 22 LPA, and the lowest is 4.5 LPA. Top recruiting company is BPCL. 30% of students got internships, and top roles are associate engineering and supply chain.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure in our college has been developing over last 4 years. We got new hostels this year, and last year they inaugurated a new lecture hall. Wi-Fi is pretty good, and labs are maintained and equipped with the latest machines. Classroom has good ventilation and proper spacing, with a smart board also. We also have 2 libraries, one of which is 24hrs open. Food quality in mess is normal, and canteen has good food also. We have a medical centre, also with all types of doctors available. We have many grounds in college for sports, such as indoor and outdoor as well.
    Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable and qualified. Teaching quality is also modernized, like they teach on a smart board and also on a blackboard. For my branch of civil Engineering, the course curriculum is enough to be qualified as a civil engineer. Semester exams are of a moderate to hard level. Pass percentage is like 90%.
    Other: I chose the Civil Engineering course from JoSAA counseling through JEE main exam. Best things in civil engineering course are labs and practical training. Everything is fine with my course. Civil Engineering connection is with many other colleges, and they also conduct many events in college just to discuss and prepare necessary improvements for civil Engineering sector.
