NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology

As far as i know, salary in mechanical is not usually very high keeping the average around Rs.5-6 lakhs a year in NITK, but percentage of placement is descent enough, that is approximately 110 students out of 140. And you gain more pay with experience. Basically a mechanical engineering pass-out won't be that much of a help to the company so they give you less pay till you become experienced and can actually generate significant revenue for the firm. If you work hard and learn fast you can expect you pay to go upto Rs.20-25 lakhs in 4-5 years. But in very rare cases, people get very high package right after the completion of B.Tech.
Cheers!
