NIT Surathkal or NITK is one of the premier engineering institutes of the country and has a strong alumni network and industry connect. Training sessions are even organised by industry giants like IBM, CoCubes. IIT Dharwad being a new institute needs time and resources to make its mark. Hence, students should make an informed choice according to their discretion.
M.Tech Mechanical is a preferred stream but its success is directly proportional to the level of placements offered by colleges in comparison to the fees or investment made. The number of students enrolled is less compared to B.Tech making it a less lucrative option for campus placements.
The detailed analysis is as follows.
Eligibility:
The basic criterion stands at graduation with a minimum score of 50%.
The common examination accepted is GATE.
Fees:
NIT Surathkal has a fee structure of Rs. 1.85 Lakhs
