Completely satisfied with the course, crowd is decent too.
Placements: This year, about 70% of the graduating class was placed on campus. The rest went on to higher studies, off-campus placements, or are preparing for the GATE Examination. Top recruiters included Vedanta, Jindal, Well Fargo, and Accenture. Internships were available from the third year.
Infrastructure: Facilities, such as Wi-Fi and LAN, are exceptional, and the classrooms in the mining department are just fine. The food in the mess hall is really good, especially when compared to the food in the first-year mess hall. Although the mess hall serves only vegetarian food, it is very good, even in comparison with non-vegetarian food. For medical facilities, we have the Health Care Center (HCC), and all the sports facilities are well-equipped.
Faculty: The difficulty level of this course is relatively low, but it requires good time management skills. If we procrastinate, we will find ourselves in a lot of trouble, as the course moves at a fast pace. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being easy and 10 being tough, the difficulty level of this course as 2 or 3.
Other: I chose this course because of the hill system in our depth, like the pros help you in every way possible and GATE is always a plus point.

Overview of NITK -A Beautiful Campus.
Placements: In 2022 and 2023, the placement percentage was around 75 to 80%. But due to a recession in 2024, it's around 70%, and the rest of the students are focused on diverse domains such as MBA, UPSC, and further studies. An average salary can be expected around 15-18 LPA. Those who are part of IT mainly incline towards SDE roles as web developers. Due to the boom in AI, people are focusing on Data Science and Data Analyst domains. Top companies are Microsoft, Google, Uber, and Oracle. Moderate companies are Wells Fargo, Intuit, RingCentral, PayPal, and more. Lastly, focused companies are investment banking companies, which provide a salary around 12 to 13 LPA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is developing rapidly day by day, in relative comparison to past years. Wi-Fi is available 24*7 in every corner of the campus. Libraries and labs are very good, with AC availability. Classrooms are wide-spaced and can accommodate 120 students. Coming to food, if you are from the South, then you will definitely like the food. If you are from the North, it depends on the person. Hostels are good, and until the 2nd year, they provide 2-room or 3-room sharing. Later on, it's single-room sharing. There is a widespread range of different canteens such as Amul, Nandini, Nescafé, and night canteens that provide good food at affordable rates. Sports facilities are extremely good, with grounds for each sport. The gym infrastructure is good and can accommodate around 100-150 people. And everyone knows NIT K is famous for each :).
Faculty: Most of the teachers are highly qualified and have done their Ph.D. from reputed abroad colleges. Teaching quality is very good. Professors create an ambiance in such a way that everyone likes the method of teaching. The course curriculum is designed in such a way that it inclines towards IT and teaches industry-related skills. The semester exams are difficult, as everyone thinks, and the pass percentage is just 20 percent.
Other: I have chosen this course because it provides a sustainable job and offers great growth. Relatively compared to other branches, the Information Technology branch has the highest placement percentage over the past 5 years. There are two fests that can stretch for 3 to 4 days. One is Engi, and the other is INCI. The ambiance during these fests will be very good.

Do you think your JEE Preparations are worth National Institute of Technology, Suratkal (Karnataka)?
Placements: Around 70% of the students get placed in NitK from Mechanical Engineering. The highest package is 10LPA without the Minor. On taking minor courses the average package will increase. The average package is around 7LPA and the lowest is 5LPA. One of the top recruiting company is Tata Mahindra. Many students get internship opportunities and avail Pre Placement Offers before reaching the final year. The minimum requirement for sitting in campus placement interviews is 7 CGPA.
Infrastructure: Before answering this question, let me tell you that I have visited NIT Calicut and my answers will be based on their comparison. The infrastructure and buildings like CIDS and CRF are top modern buildings in NitK. We have a Central Library and a Digital Library. The construction for a new Library is going on and we can soon expect them. The hostels are average. The mess food is okayish. Every hostel has appointed GMC and MC for representing the hostelite and their mess food. So, make sure you voted for them wisely. We have 3-4 Gyms with the latest equipments. Many Sports tournaments are conducted through out the year, both inside and outside the campus. We have a Health Care Centre opposite the main ground. We get prescriptions from there and we also have a pharmacy inside the Health Care Centre.
Faculty: Even though the Teachers are highly qualified, we have to rely mainly on self study. The course curriculum is advanced and makes the students knowledgeable. There are many Clubs which will help you gain world life experiences. There are clubs for everyone taste and passion.
Other: There are many club activities where you can come out of your comfort zones and try something new. There are mainly two massive events which happen all year round. A technical fest which is called Engineer and a Cultural fest called Incident. Every year, for many club activities, the alumni visit the college. You get to connect with people from a wide variety of cultures, backgrounds and mindset.

An honest review about NITK.
Placements: Placements are quite impressive. Students are eligible for employment in the 5th semester. You will get internship offers in the 5th semester. More than 150 companies come for the placement, including Jio, Google, Mercedes-Benz, Amazon, etc. In 2022, Jio offered placements to 120 students from the college. Nearly 90–95% of students get placed. I'll try to get a government job after the degree.
Infrastructure: NITK campus is one of the most beautiful campuses because of its own private spaces. Also, hostels are too good. There are 2 types of hostels: new and old. The facilities provided in new hostels are great, whereas the facilities in old hostels are also good but not as good as in new hostels. There is the best Wi-Fi connection on the whole campus, at approximately 90 mbps. The meal quality is good and various food items are served.
Faculty: Faculty members are so experienced and approachable. The course is comprehensive and related to the application of things in day-to-day life. Practical-based work influenced my decision to choose this course. Exams are often happening in the semester. Exams are conducted every single month. The difficulty level of the exams is moderate.
Other: NITK offers excellent value with high placement rates and quality education at a reasonable fee. The major fests of NITK are Incident and Engineer. And areas for improvement could be infrastructure updates and more research opportunities.
