Review of NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology.
Placements: Placements in the Mining Engineering department are fairly good. From the 2025 pass-out batch, out of 43, about 21 got placed in the private sector including many in data analyst roles, consultancy, core like JSW, Vedanta, and a few in software development roles. The rest around 10 students have a good score in GATE MN paper and are waiting for the government job call. Few others are interested in pursuing higher studies and an MBA. So on average, around 35 have secured placements out of 43.
Infrastructure: There is no problem with the infrastructure availability including high-speed internet or Wi-Fi, on-to-the-point labs, AC classrooms, and one of South India's largest collections of books and e-books in the library. Related to the hostel and mess facility, we have a decent facility here. The 1st year hostels are triple and double sharing, apart from that its single rooms after on.
Faculty: The mining engineering course curriculum is outdated now, but the quality of professors is top-notch. Everyone here is highly intelligent, and depending upon the interest of students the professor shares his knowledge. Semester exams are not difficult but sometimes it becomes hectic but manageable.
Other: I chose this college due to the combination of sports, NIT tag, and good engineering college. It is near to my home. We have South India's second-largest cultural fest Incident.

River through life at NITK.
Placements: The overall placement percentage of B.Tech students is 93%. It is important to maintain a CG above 7. People here get packages of around 20 LPA with good effort, and one of my seniors got a placement of 55 LPA. Internship offers start from the 3rd year, and many people get pre-placement offers. The average package is around 12 LPA. During the internship period, companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Texas, and Uber come to NITK, and 90% of the interns get placed based on their performance in the companies. Branches like Civil and Mechanical also get pre-placement offers from companies like ExxonMobil.
Infrastructure: Some of the department buildings are too old as our civil department. Hostel rooms are good, spacious, and properly maintained. In the first year, we have block timings. As for the mess food, it's not that good. It is the same rest of hostels we hear about online or experienced before. Registration is done after the admission process, and we have seniors here to guide us through this process.
Faculty: Teachers here are quite knowledgeable. The curriculum is relevant, but you need to do internships to get industrial experience and add value to your resume. Exams are not very difficult. They are moderate to little difficult at times. The total evaluation is done through two quizzes, one midsem, one endsem, and some assignments for some subjects.
Other: Life at NITK is fabulous. It is similar to the rest of the NITs and IITs. We have one of South India's largest cultural fests, Incident, which is generally held in the month of February or March. We also have a technical fest called Engineer, both given amazing experiences and exposure. During this time, we have a lot of visitors from surrounding colleges. Here, we have two libraries, one regular and one e-library. You will have enough books to study anything you want. You can also see one of the best sports complexes and clubs.

Review of NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology.
Placements: Placements are good. The drive starts in February and goes on till April to May. Top companies like Google are top recruiters and I love that. Recently my seniors got placed in Infosys, Grow, etc. Many prestigious unicorn companies have been founded by our alumni.
Infrastructure: The hostel provides two beds and two tables with beautiful scenery. It has a good night canteen. Students must try Shawarma even if they are vegetarian. College classrooms are well-maintained with no CCTV cameras so we can sleep in class and give proxy easily.
Faculty: The course curriculum is very boring and outdated as we are engineers in India. Exams are good in terms of questions and they give 2 marks for index which is very thoughtful and helps students pass if they are going to fail. Getting a decent grade is not that tough if we work hard. Teachers are okay as per my standards.
Other: Bad people do not come here.
