A good college to consider.

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.

Review of National Institute of Technology.

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.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is also good but still needs improvement. Facilities here in our hostel are really so basic and just block 1 is good as per mess and all, so you should try to go there as the facilities are so good you will enjoy.

NIT Surathkal College Review.

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.

Review of NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology.

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.
