NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology

It is a very low score. Try to score good marks in GMAT.

This depends on college to college. Usually by February 1st week most of the colleges are expected to call for application. Start shortlisting your colleges and check their respective websites. Also, keep following Shiksha for regular updates on entrance process.

You can apply for NITK-SOM (Good ROI), JKSHIM-Karkala and Manipal-SOM (Both are old and reputed, placement is better than average), Sahyadri Mangalore or AIMIT (Both are good at academics and extra-curricular activities, placement is decent).

Usually, it is CAT and not Joint Management entrance test. However, please check each IIT's profile in Shiksha website for entrance details.

BITS-Pilani would be the better choice if the interest of engineering discipline is towards computer science/ electronics as it has got stupendous placements in these domains. However, this doesn't imply that NIT-Surathkal has a poor placement record in CS/EC. Its just that, BITS has got an upper edge in these domains than NIT-S. If you want to go for core branches like Civil/Mech., go for NIT-S. The campus life of BITS is awesome whereas NIT-S has its own beach where students can tranquilize. Both the institutions are good and have their own pros and cons. I suggest you to select one as per your branch and preferences.
All the best!

Selection to national institutes is based on the cut-off marks scored by a candidate in JEE Mains and the structure of option entry. For the residents of Karnataka, seats may be available if NIT-K is given the first option in the entry. It also depends on the branch selected by the student.

Hello Shruti,
NIT's at Surathkal & Warangal are considered as premier NIT's. It's difficult to say about marks since in coming exam pattern of questions is likely to be different. But on other hand I feel a percentile of above 70 should get you admission.

This year the opening rank was 4500 and closing rank was around 10000 for B.Tech Civil Engineering in NIT Surathkal.
In 2016, opening rank was 4605 and closing rank around was 11151. Score should be more than 220.

Hello,
To get admissions into the NITs, you need to score:
NIT Delhi opening rank-3539 to 9078
