    Good college, infrastructure, and placements.
    Placements: From the 2nd semester, we are eligible to get internships, so along with many students, we can get PPO. The number of companies visited is all there on the NITK website, but placement is good. In my course, the highest package is 10 LPA, the lowest is 4.5 LPA, and the average is 5 LPA-6 LPA. In my course, around 85-90 percent of students get placed. I wanted a job in a pharmaceutical company.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi all over the campus with CCTV security. Classrooms are top-notch, and all facilities, like projectors and smart boards, are available. The library is good, and all types of books and magazines are available. Hostels are good. There are 2-seated and 3-seated rooms. There are different grounds for different sports.
    Faculty: All faculty members have good qualifications, but some courses are not relevant to us, so it is very difficult to understand. So we are thinking that the faculty is not good. In my course, two faculty members are good. They always focus on good teaching with industry knowledge, others just come and teach Maths and go.

    I'm satisfied with my college.

    Infrastructure: Facilities that the college provides are top-notch. Classrooms are projector-based, Wi-Fi is good, and library facilities are also very good. Since I am an M.Tech student, hostel provides single-sharing rooms with a facility of LAN in every room.
    Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is top-notch and they make us understand very properly. They are highly qualified. Qualifying in the exams are very easy, if a student studies properly clearing exams for them is too easy.
    Other: I chose this course because I have an interest in this to learn more about materials. I guess, there is no need for improvement in the course. There is a big event called Incident that happens every year.

    Campus is lush green and has its own charm.
    Placements: The placements in the college are good compared to many IITs and NITs. You can expect a good placement in the relevant domain, but one has to work hard for that. The highest in my branch is 39 LPA, and the least is 6 LPA. 100% students got placed last year.
    Infrastructure: The campus life is so beautiful. You'll have one cultural fest, namely Incident, and another technical fest, namely Engineer. For PG students, there is the PG cup, where you can play and compete in all the games and sports. The hostel facility is provided for all the students on campus. The hostel facility is better, and the food you find is okay. Not that well, but can be managed. The registration process was all done by the college website.
    Faculty: The effectiveness of teaching is really great. Each of the faculty members has at least completed their Masters and has experience of being trained by NITs and IITs. The faculty's approach towards teaching is in a systematic way and never causes burden to the students. They are easily approachable when in college and even off-college timings, we can contact them via phones and have our doubts cleared and get suggestions. We usually interact with teachers on a daily basis.

    The course is very unique and offers good placements.

The management was also very supportive in providing placement training.
    Infrastructure: In the hostel, all facilities were provided in the rooms. The rooms were spacious. First- and second-year students shared rooms with 2 or 3 people, and later they got single rooms. All types of sports like basketball, volleyball, cricket, badminton, swimming, and powerlifting were available. There were also many cultural and technical clubs, which won cups and prizes in competitions. The classrooms were spacious, with charging points and Wi-Fi connections throughout the campus. Classrooms had proper smart boards, and some even had ACs.
    Faculty: Faculty members were good. They were highly educated and experienced. They had all completed their post-graduation. The course content was fantastic. Faculty was highly adaptable to the changing environment and incredibly knowledgeable. Some of the work created by NITK academics was used in colleges throughout Karnataka and India. I found a plethora of practical topics here from the outset and learned a lot.
