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.

My honest review of NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology.
Placements: The college offered decent placement opportunities for chemical engineering students. It had a placement cell that took care of all the placement and job opportunities on the campus. Top companies of the country like IBM, Deloitte, Siemens, TCS, Wipro, Bosch CMS, HCL, Godrej, Kotak, ICICI, Amazon, Infosys, etc., visited the campus for student placements and provided good salary packages. The highest salary offered was around 25–30 LPA, and the average package was 4–5 LPA. A total of 80–85% of the students appearing for college placements got placed in reputed firms.
Infrastructure: There were separate hostels for girls and boys. The college provided many facilities in the hostels, such as clean drinking water, 24-hour water supply, security, a proper environment, and good mess facilities. The mess provided very good quality food. There were separate charges for hostel and mess food.
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. Semester examination system included end-semester exams and mid-semester exams. Each semester was of 6 months, and the course consisted of 4 semester exams. Lab practical tests and viva examinations were also conducted. The course curriculum was very well structured. The college department provided students with many projects and assignments in groups so that they could gain practical exposure. The course focused on the latest technologies and also offered many research opportunities.

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.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and generally helpful. The curriculum is well-structured and regularly updated as per AICTE and NIT standards, covering all core subjects. Semester exams are moderately difficult and test conceptual understanding rather than rote learning.

Nice college in Mangalore.
Placements: Internships are provided by various tech companies that come to the college. They offer role which are pretty much what you're expected to get from the college. The time period is for around 2-6 months. The placements are pretty good, with top companies attending them. Companies such as Goldman Sachs, Google, Microsoft, etc., participate in them. The highest package goes around 56 LPA, the average for CSE being around 28 LPA. 95% of them are placed.
Infrastructure: The nightlife is really amazing, the hostel timings are really to our access. The beaches here make the vibe. There are numerous places you could hang out. Gym are open till late evening. There are 12 hostels. In 1st year, triple-sharing rooms are available. In each room, they provide a table, chair, and bed. In the room, they provide Wi-Fi. Mess food is good, it includes all varieties of dishes. Spiritual, dancing, drama. Sports facilities are good, mostly all types of sports facilities are available. There is a huge swimming pool also present.
Faculty: The courses that happen here are just the ones you would get at elite colleges. The courses are top class with the professors who are experts in their subject. 4 years of exams per semester, which are of a moderate level of difficulty. Which comprises 1 midsem, 2 quizzes, and an end-of-semester exam. Faculty to students ratio is about 1:10. The relationship between each other couldn't be any better. The professors are always there to guide and teach you at all times.
