    Review of NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology.
    Placements: For B.Tech and MCA placements are good. MCA students get an average package of 10-12 LPA. Big companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, Infosys, Samsung, and many more visit the campus. Around 250 companies come for MCA placements alone. Overall good placement experience here.
    Infrastructure: The hostels have facilities like Wi-Fi, drinking water, light, fans, and beds. The classrooms are air-conditioned, and the central library is well-equipped for borrowing books. The mess food is average, but there are three canteens serving really tasty fast food. There is also a small sports field for volleyball, football, and cricket.
    Faculty: Most of the teachers have good experience and qualifications. They mainly support students preparing for placements. Many subjects focus on the financial sector, especially accounting and auditing. Overall, the staff is capable and usually delivers good results.

    I'm absolutely satisfied due to the faculty, good placement rate and really good infrastructure.
    Placements: Almost 99% of the students get placements from our college. The placement rate is very high. Even dream companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc., visit our college to hire students for certain jobs. B.Tech, M.Tech, MCA, M.Sc, MBA and all courses are available here.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available all the time, and the mess facility is also available. There are all facilities every time, so we don't need to go out of the campus for anything. The quality of facilities is also very good. I enjoyed my college life there.
    Faculty: Faculty members here are very helpful, cooperative and are very good overall. For teaching quality, I will give a rating of 5 stars out of 5 stars to all the faculty members who give their best to teach students. The course curriculum of MCA at NITK is very relevant.
    Other: I chose this course because I want to join the technical field. This course provides complete knowledge which software engineers should possess. We organised all India MCA fest named IGNITE every year.

    The placements, faculty and the infrastructure of the college are good.
    Placements: The placement for 2018 batch was the highest when compared to previous 3 years. Total 75% of students were placed in my batch with the highest package was 18 LPA, the lowest was 3.5 LPA, and the average was near 7 LPA to 8 LPA. We get many reputed MNCs like Microsoft, McAfee Soft, Target Corp, JPMC, JP Morgan, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Citi Corp, Nokia, Cerner, Informatica, Dell, One Convergence, Oracle, RedBus, General Electric, Direct, Thorogood, Radisys, Telstra, SAP, Deloitte, MAQ, Amdocs, Thorogood, and the list goes on. The major roles offered were a software developer, associate soft engineer, analyst, and many more. More than 70% of students got the internship from college. The highest stipend was Rs 40,000. There is a placement cell here, and it does very well.
    Infrastructure: The whole campus has Wi-Fi, labs have high-end systems. The library is an average one, and the medical facilities are also average, but the sports are very good here. The quality of teachers are very good, but not in all departments. The food quality is less than average, and the hostels are good with 24-hour supplies for electricity and water. The infrastructure of the college is also good.
    Faculty: The faculty members are good here, but some departments lack good teachers. The teaching quality is good, but mostly all depends on the teachers. The judging parameters get changed from teacher to teacher. On average, it has faculty members far better than average. The student to faculty ratio also depends on the branch and subject. Usually, there are 80 students per faculty. There is very good industry expose in NITK as often you get to visit companies, mines, workshops, and seminars. The course curriculum is also good. Its one of the top 10 colleges of engineering, I don't need to write more about it.
    Other: It has two main annual events, i.e. Engineer and Incident both national level. Engineer is the technical event with lots of events in it, and students from all over the country participate in it. "Incident" is the cultural event, having many big events as big Bollywood stars come to perform in it. The national highway goes from between the campus, the nearest airport is Bangalore, and the campus is very green. Scholarships in the college depending on your home state.
