M.Tech. in Chemical Engineering - Batch of 2024

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

The course is very unique and offers good placements.

Placements: Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, HSBC, Wells Fargo, Arcesium, L&T, Amazon, and ExxonMobil were among the firms that visited. IT/Software firms paid an average of 14 LPA, with the maximum compensation being about 50 LPA. Many PSUs paid approximately 16 LPA for core roles. The management was also very supportive in providing placement training.

Infrastructure: In the hostel, all facilities were provided in the rooms. The rooms were spacious. First- and second-year students shared rooms with 2 or 3 people, and later they got single rooms. All types of sports like basketball, volleyball, cricket, badminton, swimming, and powerlifting were available. There were also many cultural and technical clubs, which won cups and prizes in competitions. The classrooms were spacious, with charging points and Wi-Fi connections throughout the campus. Classrooms had proper smart boards, and some even had ACs.

Faculty: Faculty members were good. They were highly educated and experienced. They had all completed their post-graduation. The course content was fantastic. Faculty was highly adaptable to the changing environment and incredibly knowledgeable. Some of the work created by NITK academics was used in colleges throughout Karnataka and India. I found a plethora of practical topics here from the outset and learned a lot.

Good college, infrastructure, and placements.

Placements: From the 2nd semester, we are eligible to get internships, so along with many students, we can get PPO. The number of companies visited is all there on the NITK website, but placement is good. In my course, the highest package is 10 LPA, the lowest is 4.5 LPA, and the average is 5 LPA-6 LPA. In my course, around 85-90 percent of students get placed. I wanted a job in a pharmaceutical company.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi all over the campus with CCTV security. Classrooms are top-notch, and all facilities, like projectors and smart boards, are available. The library is good, and all types of books and magazines are available. Hostels are good. There are 2-seated and 3-seated rooms. There are different grounds for different sports.

Faculty: All faculty members have good qualifications, but some courses are not relevant to us, so it is very difficult to understand. So we are thinking that the faculty is not good. In my course, two faculty members are good. They always focus on good teaching with industry knowledge, others just come and teach Maths and go.

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.
