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!

NIT Surathkal College Review.

Placements: Over 95% of our students land jobs after graduation from our college. This year, the highest salary package from my branch hit around 50 LPA, while the average for core electrical engineering was about 15 LPA. The big names doing the recruiting include Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Nvidia, Tata, TCS, Jio, and a whole bunch more. Its worth noting that nearly all students who applied for internships got one, but those who did not throw their hat in the bring brought the overall internship numbers down a bit.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi was available all across campus, and the hostels have LAN, too. The labs were fully stocked and really good. The library had over 200,000 books on just about every topic you can think of. I would have to say, when it comes to food, I would give it a 2 out of 5. The medical and sports facilities were pretty solid overall. The second year student hostels arena. It was the best, but the others were just fine. The food was decent, too.

Faculty: Teachers had solid qualifications and extensive teaching experience. Our course fits well within our environment. The semester exams were pretty tough, so getting a good grade requires some serious effort. So, overall, the faculty members were good and approachable.
