River through life at NITK.

Placements: The overall placement percentage of B.Tech students is 93%. It is important to maintain a CG above 7. People here get packages of around 20 LPA with good effort, and one of my seniors got a placement of 55 LPA. Internship offers start from the 3rd year, and many people get pre-placement offers. The average package is around 12 LPA. During the internship period, companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Texas, and Uber come to NITK, and 90% of the interns get placed based on their performance in the companies. Branches like Civil and Mechanical also get pre-placement offers from companies like ExxonMobil.

Infrastructure: Some of the department buildings are too old as our civil department. Hostel rooms are good, spacious, and properly maintained. In the first year, we have block timings. As for the mess food, it's not that good. It is the same rest of hostels we hear about online or experienced before. Registration is done after the admission process, and we have seniors here to guide us through this process.

Faculty: Teachers here are quite knowledgeable. The curriculum is relevant, but you need to do internships to get industrial experience and add value to your resume. Exams are not very difficult. They are moderate to little difficult at times. The total evaluation is done through two quizzes, one midsem, one endsem, and some assignments for some subjects.

Other: Life at NITK is fabulous. It is similar to the rest of the NITs and IITs. We have one of South India's largest cultural fests, Incident, which is generally held in the month of February or March. We also have a technical fest called Engineer, both given amazing experiences and exposure. During this time, we have a lot of visitors from surrounding colleges. Here, we have two libraries, one regular and one e-library. You will have enough books to study anything you want. You can also see one of the best sports complexes and clubs.

I'm satisfied with my college.

Placements: 80% of students got placed. The highest package is 25 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Intel and Carborundum. The roles that are offered are PGET. Placement scenario is superb almost every student got placed and the placement policy is also good here.

Infrastructure: Facilities that the college provides are top-notch. Classrooms are projector-based, Wi-Fi is good, and library facilities are also very good. Since I am an M.Tech student, hostel provides single-sharing rooms with a facility of LAN in every room.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is top-notch and they make us understand very properly. They are highly qualified. Qualifying in the exams are very easy, if a student studies properly clearing exams for them is too easy.

Other: I chose this course because I have an interest in this to learn more about materials. I guess, there is no need for improvement in the course. There is a big event called Incident that happens every year.

The placements are good, and the campus life is nice.

Placements: In my course, over 85% of students were placed, even though there was a recession. The highest package was around 52 LPA, and the lowest was around 8 LPA. The top companies included Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, DE Shaw, Arcesium, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, etc. Most roles were related to development or machine learning.

Infrastructure: The hostel was fine for a government college. We had Wi-Fi problems that were not resolved fast. The lifts were a problem. The department did not have proper space for all amenities. Otherwise, it was fine. The medical and sports facilities were very nice. The mess food, as usual, was horrible. However, we had snacks, night canteens, and some nice restaurants nearby, which were life save.

Faculty: Teachers were well-qualified and well-known. You were expected to learn most things by yourself, though. There were projects for almost every course, which allowed you to explore and learn more beyond the curriculum. The curriculum, on the whole, was not up to the industry standard in any Indian college in general, but they made the basics crystal clear. There were many opportunities, as the professors had both industry and academic connections, and you could work with them on industry-related or research-based projects.

Other: I was keen on technology and liked coding, so I chose this course. I wished it had been more project-oriented and that we had better facilities. For instance, having more GPUs would have made sense. The fests were very nice compared to other NITs. The campus was nice, though the weather was not. It was a very nice experience. We had a private beach where you could chill. There were many weekend getaways nearby. Many scholarships were available, including merit-based and merit-cum-means, etc. The connectivity was good, as both the station and airport were nearby.

Review of NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology.

Placements: In the mechanical engineering branch, the placement percentage is okay and it is 85%. The highest package is 36 LPA and the lowest package is 6 LPA. The average package is 12 LPA, which is decent. Top recruiting companies for our course are Ola, Uber, Flipkart, Amazon, etc. 70% of students get internships if they do well. Many students go into the software field rather than the core field.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. New buildings are still being made and our department is old. Wi-Fi is there and classrooms are old. Tables also look old, but they are still good. The library has all the facilities with all the books. The hostel looks new but the food in the mess is bad. Sometimes, we cannot even eat that. There is one medical center in the middle of campus which is near the boys' and girls' hostels. Sports complex is also there which has all the games and a gym.

Faculty: Our faculty members are well-educated. They have a lot of knowledge but they lack in teaching. The course curriculum is up to date. It is helpful in making students industry-ready for the core jobs. However, students prefer the software field. Semester exams are difficult but can be passed if studied well. The pass percentage is around 95%.

Truth, not based.

Placements: Placements are fine. Better than most NITs (except Trichy) and new IITs. If you have skills, you will get ample opportunities. Still not comparable to old IITs for core branches. Almost every company allows students from all branches. Companies like Oracle and Wells Fargo recruit from lower branches too.

Infrastructure: Poor hostel facilities. Shortage of water supply is very common. Every hostel facility problem will be solved after a week or so. And there will be some problem going on related to water, electricity, etc. Living conditions are really poor and I really don't want to talk about the mess. Once we got a mental part of a cooking vessel in our food and a bug.

Faculty: Some teachers are really great and some will really make your life *** and I guess it's the same in every college so it doesn't matter. The curriculum is good, and examinations are conducted in an organized manner as well as results are declared efficiently on time.
