NIT Surathkal college review.
Placements: The overall placement rate for B.Tech students is sitting at a solid 93%. Pretty impressive, right now, to get the best offers, it's crucial to keep that CGPA above 7. With some hard work, folks are landing packages around 20 LPA. I even know a senior who scored a whopping 55 LPA. Internships kick off in the 3rd year, and it's not uncommon for students to snag pre-placement offers. The average package hovers around 12 LPA. During internships, big names like Microsoft, Oracle, Texas Instruments, and Uber come to NITK.
Infrastructure: Our course benefits from great facilities and infrastructure. The campus has a central library, Wi-Fi access, and digital classrooms. The hostel accommodation is good, with tasty meals served in both the mess and canteen. There is also a multi-sports complex available.
Faculty: Most teachers are quite experienced and have good qualifications. The set of people most likely to receive support from them is the students who are aimed at job placement. The subject matter is directly related to the financial sector, especially in areas like accounting and auditing. To sum up, the staff is very competent and can achieve great results.

Absolutely a good college in order to learn, with better infrastructure and good placements in 2026.
Placements: In civil engineering, we have 70% placed in different companies, and rest are for higher studies like M.Tech, MBA, M.Sc. Our college placement cell, CDC, has been doing great work for past 3-4 years. Highest package is 22 LPA, and the lowest is 4.5 LPA. Top recruiting company is BPCL. 30% of students got internships, and top roles are associate engineering and supply chain.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure in our college has been developing over last 4 years. We got new hostels this year, and last year they inaugurated a new lecture hall. Wi-Fi is pretty good, and labs are maintained and equipped with the latest machines. Classroom has good ventilation and proper spacing, with a smart board also. We also have 2 libraries, one of which is 24hrs open. Food quality in mess is normal, and canteen has good food also. We have a medical centre, also with all types of doctors available. We have many grounds in college for sports, such as indoor and outdoor as well.
Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable and qualified. Teaching quality is also modernized, like they teach on a smart board and also on a blackboard. For my branch of civil Engineering, the course curriculum is enough to be qualified as a civil engineer. Semester exams are of a moderate to hard level. Pass percentage is like 90%.
Other: I chose the Civil Engineering course from JoSAA counseling through JEE main exam. Best things in civil engineering course are labs and practical training. Everything is fine with my course. Civil Engineering connection is with many other colleges, and they also conduct many events in college just to discuss and prepare necessary improvements for civil Engineering sector.

Review of NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology.
Placements: All I want to say about placements is that mechanical students tend toΒ get selected more into non-core, management, and other sectors than into core mechanical roles. So, yes, the placements look good on paper, but you need to realize there aren't many jobs available, and even if there are, they don't pay well.
Infrastructure: The hostels are pretty decent. The first-year boys' hostel is basic, but after that, the second-year Shivalik hostel is basically a hotel. The third and fourth-year single rooms are excellent. I think you won't be disappointed with them. They are better than most government colleges, though they have some issues too.
Faculty: The collegeΒ offers a basic engineering education. It's the same as every other college, with nothing new an old curriculum that's recycled repeatedly. The teachers try to teach, but their assistants (TAs) often outperform them in teaching quality. It's pretty standard. Like every other college, there's nothing particularly innovative.

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.
