My review of NIT Surathkal.

Placements: The placement scenario is really good. There is a placement cell in the college. Almost all the good companies come for placements. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, ZS Associates, JP Morgan, KPMG, etc. visit and offer placements. 80% of students get placed every year. The average package is 9-10 LPA. The highest is 28–40 LPA. It also depends on the students' knowledge and experience. Based on this, companies offer packages. They conduct interview sessions and practical tests to check the students' knowledge.

Infrastructure: The hostel for the 1st year is on a twin-sharing basis. But from the 2nd year onwards, there is a single room per student. Rooms are comfortable, and everything is in order. Every hostel has a separate mess facility. The mess offers different food every day. The food is tasty, and the hostel is secured with CCTV.

Faculty: Faculty of this college is quite reputed and very diligent towards teaching the course. Some professors have more than 30 years of experience. Teachers explain everything according to the course plan and are open to doubts. Teachers usually have Ph.D. degrees and have a vast amount of experience teaching their subjects. They are very disciplined and unbiased in marking the students. A semester examination system is followed. We have 2 mid-semester exams and 1 end-semester exam in a semester. There is also a practical test and viva conducted by an external examiner. The level of the exams is moderate. The course curriculum is good enough. It focuses more on practical knowledge, not only theory. They keep updating the syllabus from time to time according to current needs. In the 1st year, courses from all streams are included, and from the 2nd year onwards, subjects related to your stream are taught. The course is structured in a good manner.

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.

Review of National Institute of Technology.

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.
