If you want to study mechanical engineering, I would recommend NIT Surat without a doubt. NIT Surat specializes in mechanical engineering. Let me share some details I got to know about while researching.
Categories | NIT Calicut | NIT Surat |
Total course fee | 5.42 lakhs | 5.63 lakhs |
Placement rate | 85% | 90% |
Average salary package | 8.1 lakhs | 12 lakhs |
Top recruiters | ABB, ADP, Amadeus, amdocs, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Auto, CapGemini. | Airtel, Ashok Leyland, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, DE Shaw, EXL, Infosys |
So, if you are truly interested in mechanical engineering, I would recommend that you should not hesitate to apply to NIT Surat.
Placement at SVNIT Surat is great as informed by some of my friends studying there. Here are the recent placement highlights for SVNIT Surat.
Obviously, the placements are great because of the NIT tag, but it will be of no use if you hold a second-class degree, with a lot of back papers. So, I would like to advise you to just focus on your studies.
SVNIT is an Institute of National Importance and admissions to the B.Tech program at the institute are done through JEE Mains and Advanced examinations followed by JoSAA counseling procedures. If you have a home state quota that is provided to students that have completed their 10+2 (Intermediate) Education from Gujarat, it will be beneficial.
Here is the latest required cutoff for the institute.

If you are a home state student and have the score required there’s a fair chance you get your preferred branch at the institute.
When it's about choosing the colleges then analyze the statistics, not the ranking. PEC is statistically better than the NITs. It has been proven over the years that the tag of NIT doesn't matter that much.
Below are some facts about PEC:
The table shows a brief overview of the institution:

PEC has no IIT or NIT tag but has a unique PEC tag that is not comparable to anything. Both the colleges are renowned and one of the best in India. Overall PEC Chandigarh is the potential choice.
I have a close friend who studied from here, according to her experience, the preference order for branches at NIT Surathkal among students is as follows.
CS>Mech>Electrical~ECE
ECE - Highlights:
The main reason for ECE being behind Mechanical is top-quality professors, core companies, being one of the oldest branches & huge class strength. ECE is not behind mechanical but mechanical is way ahead of ECE in SVNIT.

There are definitely a few shortcomings for the ECE branch, but it is still ECE from NIT Surat.
NIT Surat is one of the oldest NITs in India and also the education standards are good. However, the quality of education provided at IITRAM can be compared to that of IITs. It is definitely way better than NITs.
Many of my friends choose IITRAM over NIT Surat and they stand by their decision.
According to my friends at SVNIT, hostel food is extremely monotonous. It is mostly comprised of Gujarati dishes, which are not liked by them. The points below are some of the key highlights of the hostel mess food at SVNIT.
The quality of mess food in the hostels of SVNIT is quite evident from the above points, which is average in quality and not satisfactory to most students.
During the 2022 placement season, out of 106 registered B.Tech CSE students, 94 were successfully placed from the SVNIT campus. The highest package offered was 44 LPA, the average package was 15.22 LPA, and the minimum package was 5.56 LPA.
As for M.Tech CSE, 20 students were successfully placed during the placement drive. The highest package offered was 31 LPA, the average package was 15.88 LPA, and the lowest package was 7.50 LPA.
The top recruiters of SVNIT are- Adobe, Amazon, Samsung, JP Morgan, Infosys, Jio, GEP, Axis Bank, Deloitte, Godrej, Accenture, TCS, Airtel, Mathworks and Bigbasket, among others.
Since my sister is studying at SVNIT, I might be able to help you with your question. The placements at SVNIT in the department of chemical engineering are quite moderate.

After completing the degree, you can also opt for higher studies and go for research. The campus and the faculty members will help you with your project, thesis, presentations, etc.
If you want to sit for the placement drive, you can do it as well. The Training and Placement camp of the college will help you through and through. Some of the recruiting companies include Schlumberger Limited, GlaxoSmithKline, NTPC, GAIL, CIL, ONGC, Piramal Healthcare Limited, etc.
SVNIT witnesses decent M.Tech placements. But for someone who wishes to work as a teacher, there are good options. This is because a large number of colleges and coaching institutes visit the campus for recruitment. The companies look for a certain specialization, in accordance with the job requirements.
Intel and Marvell Semiconductor visit the campus seeking VLSI, Communication systems and Computer Science students. They do not make direct recruitments. Instead, they hire students as interns and then later offer them PPOs.
Bombardier, Qualcomm and General Electric hire from M.Tech Electrical. L & T hires Civil and Mechanical students, and WSP hires Civil students. Akash institute, Base and WiFi visit for teaching recruitments.
M.Tech placements are average at even the IITs. I would recommend you look for off-campus placements as well.
