Reality for NITK about all the important things.
Placements: Around 80 percent of students are placed from mining. The highest package is 36 LPA, and the median is around 12 LPA and the same for the average. Top recruitment companies are Vedanta, mainly for core, for tech, most of the top companies are there. Internship is bad, it's around 10 to 20 percent. GET is the top core role.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is also good but still needs improvement. Facilities here in our hostel are really so basic and just block 1 is good as per mess and all, so you should try to go there as the facilities are so good you will enjoy.
Faculty: Faculty members are really good, and in mining there is a lot of time to enjoy and explore what you want to do. The career and semester exams, as heard by seniors, are, and when you come to mining you will realise that in NITK it is known as the most chill branch.
Other: I just simply got this course, and all of us in mining have the same scenario, but it's a good branch as I realised it here.

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.

It is best college for engineers.
Placements: Percentage of students placed is 30/43 (70) on campus, around 10 in GATE, and rest in further studies. Top recruiting companies are Vedanta, JSW, Chettinad Cement, Ramco Cement, and Aditya Birla Group. Top roles offered are graduate management trainee, analyst, and design engineer. The highest package is 36 LPA. The lowest package is 6 LPA. The average salary is 13 LPA. Internship is only 1, he is our class average student, and not a topper.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure wise NITK is best. It has good hostels. Nice way to live and enjoy student college life. Wi-Fi connectivity is also good and no issues. Moreover, library has nice way to read and makes it a decent learning environment. Quality of hostels and mess is upto the mark and not an issue at all. We all have to just slightly adjust to the taste of the food and not the quality. Good medical facilities are provided. Sports facilities are good. There is a great culture for students to live and enjoy.
Faculty: Professors in mining engineering are highly qualified and have more knowledge in practical terms. Thus they always welcome any kind of event conducting or organizing workshops. Course curriculum is slightly older version and thus needs to be modified. Luckily, the course curriculum is now modified by 2025. Semester exams are not that difficult, and a week before the exam is sufficient.
Other: NITK was my choice it was my go to college because I loved the place. I belong to the same place and I love the nature around and so it is upto my expectations. Best thing about my course is my friends, well to be precise the most suitable reason would be the home-like department and the professors who support me. Improvement is just that lab should be maintained a little more upto newer generation. Regarding the connectivity, crowd, campus, surroundings, scholarships, and extracurricular activities, I would just say that its awesome.

It is a good college for learning. The college has a low fee and a very passionate crowd.
Placements: The percentage of students placed in the senior batch is around 80%. The top recruiting companies include Vedanta, JSW, and various government PSUs through the GATE exam. The roles offered are primarily as graduate engineer trainees (GET). They focus on managing mine operations. The highest package offered is 16 lakh per annum, the average package is 9 LPA and the lowest is 5 LPA. The internship offers you get in the mining sector are less than 10%.
Infrastructure: The department is fully equipped with a Wi-Fi facility. There are 4 different labs for the mining core (ventilation lab, rock mechanics lab, and mine design laboratory). The food options are pretty mid so you have to compromise on it. The medical facilities and other sports facilities are present.
Faculty: The academic teachers are good and helpful. All are Ph.D. graduates from IITs. They are knowledgeable. Course curriculum is outdated for mining we had a meet this year the management has planned to change the syllabus in future batches. Semester exams are easy the pass percentage is around 90.
Other: I did not choose the course due to the brand value of NITK. I chose mining because the course should have present-day technology used in the mining sector. There are many events and engi are the main events. The college has good connectivity and can get a scholarship through SSP and NSP portals.

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.

Life of an average student at NITK
Placements: In my branch, which is Mining, around 90% of students get placed out of those who registered. In my course, the highest package was 30 LPA, while the average package was 12 LPA. I am not sure about the lowest package, but it may be 7 LPA. For Mining particularly, there is Coal India, Bharat Petroleum, etc. But many students got placed in tech companies based on their skills and CGPA. To sit for tech company interviews, core students must have a CGPA greater than 9. Around 30% of students are going to do internships in top companies like Coal India.
Infrastructure: For 1st-year students, there is a special building called 'CIDS' where all 1st-year classes are held. For Mining, a special building is situated near the main building, and Wi-Fi is available in all the departments 24/7. Labs are well-structured, and the instruments are of good quality. If we talk about the hostel, there are 4 boys' hostels and 2 girls' hostels. The food has an average taste, but you can at least survive by eating it. If you are from the North, you may have some problems at first, but it will be fixed as time goes on. There is also a night canteen where you can order food.
Faculty: Professors are very polite and helpful, especially for 1st-year students who are not yet familiar with everything in college. All professors are well-educated. One has done her Ph.D. from ISC Bangalore, one is from IIT Bombay, one is from NITK, and so many other well-educated professors are here. For 1st-year students, all branches must learn all subjects. For example, I am from Mining, but currently, I am learning Python. If we talk about industry relevance, it is definitely relevant but not 100%. Many old strategies are still used. NITK Maths papers are famous in all NITs. Passing CGPA is 5.
Other: I didn’t choose this course; I chose this college because I am more interested in the tech field. After doing much research, I concluded that NITK’s curriculum is very good for programming. I didn’t choose CSE in a tier 1 or tier 2 college, and I didn’t want to go to a tier 3 college, so I chose NITK’s lower branch. There are two annual events: Engineer and Incident. Other events are also held. The campus does not have too much crowd. The bond between seniors and freshers is very good. Many extra activities are available, like swimming, gym, and sports.

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.

A student life at NITK, Surathkal.
Placements: There are a lot of opportunities during campus placement at NITK, Surathkal. Top recruiting companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, DE Shaw, and Goldman Sachs often visit here. They hire for both software development as well as analyst and consultant roles. Top core companies also visit here. More than 90% of students got placement in my course. The lowest package was 8 LPA, and the highest package was 24 LPA by Wells Fargo. There are very less opportunities during internship season for mining students. The top role offered is analyst and consultant.
Infrastructure: The college has a decent infrastructure. The old buildings are good but the new buildings are awesome. My department buildings are too old, so it is of decent level. Wi-Fi and other facilities are good. The hostel rooms are good. But the mess food is not so good. There are various sports and medical facilities.
Faculty: Most of the professors have Ph.D. from top IITs and foreign universities. However, their teaching methodologies are not so good. They are too much boring. Yes, it is relevant up to a level. Semester exams are not so difficult. You can easily get good grades even if you start reading one day before the exam. It is relatively grading so passing marks depend upon the subject.
Other: The college has a good NIRF ranking and average placement which is the main reason behind selecting this college.
