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.

Great campus life and solid placements, but room for improvement in hostel facilities.
Placements: In our batch of 43 students, 21 students got placed in private companies, 10 pursued further studies, and around 12 opted for GATE. The highest package offered is 36 LPA. The lowest salary is 6 LPA, and the average package is somewhere in between. Top recruiting companies included Vedanta, JSW, and Chettinad Cement. Roles offered are GET, data analyst, and consultancy.
Infrastructure: Our department has Wi-Fi, lab, classroom, and washrooms facilities. The condition of these facilities is decent. Hostel facility is good, excluding washrooms (no regular clean-ups), mess, canteen, and medical facilities. Campus also has sports facilities for various games.
Faculty: Faculty members are knowledgeable, with most teachers being experienced and approachable. The curriculum is relevant and prepares students for the industry. It includes practical assignments that enhance skill development. Semester exams are fair, and pass percentage is relatively high.
Other: I chose the mining course because of NIT. The best thing about the course is less competition compared to other branches. AI can't be implemented easily. I don't have any suggestions for improvement in the course. One of the top cultural fests Incident and technical fest is Engineer. Our college organises regular events like 1-2 per month. Connectivity is well. There is an airport near to campus around 8 KMs. Campus surrounding is well planted, and have dustbins every 100 meters.

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 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.

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.

Yes, in off campus, you are allowed to and if you are in Tier 1 colleges then you can, depending upon the placement committee and companies visiting the campus.
