NITK Surathkal through the eyes of a student.
Placements: The placements at NITK Surathkal are really good. For the current batch, around 87% of students get placed, and many go for higher studies. NITK Surathkal also promotes a very dynamic startup ecosystem. There are dedicated clubs to guide students for placements as well as startups. The top recruiters are companies like ExxonMobil, Wells Fargo, Quest Global, and JSW Steel. The average package is around 9–10 LPA. The highest package is around 45 LPA.
Infrastructure: There is a library as well as an e-library where you can access e-resources. The lecture hall complexes are really spacious and well-maintained. There are facilities like LAN cables, computer centres, etc. There is an option to choose between double-sharing and triple-sharing hostels in the first year. The mess food is also good and hygienic. There is a night canteen through which you can order food, and it gets delivered to your hostel. Infrastructure is available for a wide variety of sports and physical activities like gym, table tennis, basketball, football, swimming pool, etc.
Faculty: The course curriculum is very relevant and updated. It does not just focus on academics but also on overall holistic development by introducing courses such as life skills activities and NCC. However, it is also quite hectic. Faculty members are very knowledgeable, supportive, interactive, and qualified Ph.D. holders. They teach really well. The semester exams and quizzes are neither very difficult nor too easy. They are designed to be challenging as well as motivating.
Other: The best things about this college are the crowd and the ease of living on campus. Connectivity is an issue, though, because the college is 5–7 km away from the main city. However, that is manageable because the bus comes directly outside the campus.

A good college to consider.
Placements: Nearly 80 percent of students got placed, and others also did not feel that they were not placed. They went for higher studies. Microsoft was the top recruiter. More than 50 percent of students got internships. SDE was one of the top roles. The highest package offered was 73 LPA for the IT, CS, and CSS branches and 64 LPA for the AI branch.
Infrastructure: Some hostels were good. We were not allowed to use any electrical appliance, not even an iron. Weather was too hot. We were not allowed to bring a table fan. Wi-Fi was available all over the campus with CCTV security. The library was good, with all types of books. Technology-based books were also available. Classrooms were spacious and digitally updated.
Faculty: Faculty of the college was very good. They had experienced professors who guided students in the right way. They were extremely helpful and motivated students to try something new. They were all Ph.D. qualified and had practical as well as theoretical knowledge. They were always ready to clear doubts. The semester examination system included end-semester exams and mid-semester exams. Each semester was 6 months. The course consisted of 4 semester exams. Lab practical tests and viva examinations were also conducted.

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.

Campus life is really good. The campus is full of greenery.
Placements: I'm studying at NITK Surathkal as a mechanical engineering student. Around 80-90 percent of students who sit for placements get placed. The average package is around 10 LPA-12 LPA, and the highest can go above 25 LPA. Top recruiters are L&T, Mahindra, Bosch, etc. Around 60-70 percent of students got an internship through campus or non-campus opportunities. Top offered roles include R&D engineer, Design engineer, mechanical engineer, and production engineer.
Infrastructure: The department of my course is quite big, with many facilities like projectors, big classrooms, and sufficient labs and faculty. For internet facilities, we have Wi-Fi and Ethernet. We have a library for study and supportive faculty. Food quality is decent in the mess, but the night canteen and food court offer good food. For sports, there are cricket, football, and tennis grounds and 2 sports complexes, including space for a gym, badminton ground, etc. For medical facilities, we have an HCC health centre.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, supportive, qualified, knowledgeable, and good in their domains. The teaching quality of most of the teachers is really good and interactive, but the issue is that faculty members are quite strict, especially in the mechanical branch. Course curriculum, according to me, is relevant and makes people industry-ready because a lot of students have achieved good success in their career life. Semester exams are quite difficult but sometimes easy also depends on the faculty members.
Other: I chose this course because it has a lot of future opportunities, as this course is growing, plus I was also interested in mechanical engineering, and NITK is one of the best for that. The best thing about this course is that it makes students industry-ready because it also includes projects and improves students' thinking. Although the course is good for technical knowledge, it still lacks real-world skills like communication, which should be improved. On campus, the best thing is that events, fests, etc., happen very often, which help to reduce academic stress.

Placements: Nearly 80 percent of students got placed, and others also did not like that they were not placed. They went for higher studies. Microsoft was the top recruiter. More than 50 percent of students got internships. SDE was one of the top roles. The highest package was offered 73 LPA for the IT, CS, and CSS branch and 64 LPA for the AI branch.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, everything is fine, but the thing was about food which was good in the specific mess like Satpura, and the remaining mess were also good but not that good. There were night canteens where you could buy and eat up to 1:00 AM. There was a smartbox delivery system where the food came and you could pick up from there.
Faculty: All teachers were highly qualified. The curriculum was not that industry relevant, but from 2nd year it was good. There was not a single criteria for passing. Every course had relative grading, and it totally depended on the course instructor and students no need to worry.
Other: Incident was the best and extraordinary fest in this college.

The course is very unique and offers good placements.
Placements: Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, HSBC, Wells Fargo, Arcesium, L&T, Amazon, and ExxonMobil were among the firms that visited. IT/Software firms paid an average of 14 LPA, with the maximum compensation being about 50 LPA. Many PSUs paid approximately 16 LPA for core roles. 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.
