NIT Surathkal College Review.

Placements: Over 95% of our students land jobs after graduation from our college. This year, the highest salary package from my branch hit around 50 LPA, while the average for core electrical engineering was about 15 LPA. The big names doing the recruiting include Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Nvidia, Tata, TCS, Jio, and a whole bunch more. Its worth noting that nearly all students who applied for internships got one, but those who did not throw their hat in the bring brought the overall internship numbers down a bit.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi was available all across campus, and the hostels have LAN, too. The labs were fully stocked and really good. The library had over 200,000 books on just about every topic you can think of. I would have to say, when it comes to food, I would give it a 2 out of 5. The medical and sports facilities were pretty solid overall. The second year student hostels arena. It was the best, but the others were just fine. The food was decent, too.

Faculty: Teachers had solid qualifications and extensive teaching experience. Our course fits well within our environment. The semester exams were pretty tough, so getting a good grade requires some serious effort. So, overall, the faculty members were good and approachable.

B.Tech. in Civil Engineering - Batch of 2026

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

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 to 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 college 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.

Great campus life with good placement and private rooms, a place like heaven for engineering.

Placements: Placements here are good. From 2019-2023, there was almost 99% placement in the IT department, and in 2024, about 91% students were placed in the IT department. The highest salary varies from 55 LPA-62 LPA, the average was about 24 LPA, and the median was about 21 LPA. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Morgan Stanley, Dell, etc., are major recruiters. Most of the roles offered are developer. Around 30%-40% of students got internships.

Infrastructure: There are enough buildings for classrooms. Wi-Fi is available throughout campus through captive portal login. Two libraries with air conditioners are available. There are 3 grounds. Two sports complexes are too good. 12 boys' hostels and 5 girls' hostels are available. Mess food is decent. We get both vegetarian and non-vegetarian mess. 3-night canteens are available, which serve midnight. There is a food court too. We also get a private one. Campus has a good connection to road (NH66), which runs between the campus, splitting it in two. There are guest houses available. Overall, very good infrastructure.

Faculty: Professors are well-qualified. The teaching is not that good I would say. Curriculum is relevant to the existing trend, and also makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are decent, not too hard or easy. Pass percentage varies from 20% marks to 30% marks. There is a grading system in NIT Surathkal. Semester can be balanced with other activities.

Other: I chose this course out of my interest in the IT field. The best thing is that it's a chill branch and provides all the CSE courses for a slightly lower cutoff. Placements are top-notch. Some professors don't take classes properly and don't give deserving marks. This could be improved. Incidentally, our cultural fest is India's second-biggest fest. Engineer is our technical fest. All the fest events are too good to experience. There are also other events. Many scholarships are provided by institutions as well as private organizations. Scope is given for extracurricular activities like dance, music, art, etc.

Infrastructure: Scenic & well-equipped A 295-acre beachside campus featuring private access, lush green zones, and world-class sports facilities including swimming pool, tennis courts, gyms, and stadium. Everything is good, having this kind of college is okay. Mess food is decent.

Faculty: NITK Surathkal is one of India's premier engineering institutions, particularly strong in core and technical branches due to its excellent faculty, research environment, natural campus, and placement success, if you're up for a slightly high. Faculty of AI isn't that good, most we have to do is self-study.
