Other: At first, I was very confused that where should I get admission and which is the best one. Then my uncle suggested this awesome place, NITK. I will say that it has very good academics as the courses are always revised according to the need of industry. The best co-operative faculty is always there to help you. To be safe, you have to at least achieve a 6 pointer. It has all the facilities needed. The 4 years passed just like yesterday. I will always remember those precious moments of life. So just close your eyes and go for it.
