Like most of the engineering colleges in India, being in the CSE branch can get you better placements as compared to other core branches at SVNIT Surat. My friend is pursuing his B.Tech in CSE final year from SVNIT Surat and he’s currently preparing for his campus placement.
From the past couple of years, the placement record has been quite good with well-reputed companies visiting the campus. These companies include Amazon, Microsoft, Endurance, DeShaw, Oracle., etc.

One of my friends secured an AIR (All India Rank) of 7,000 in JEE Main 2017 and obtained a seat in NIT Surat in CSE. It is a good option since the institute is well renowned. More than that, he also decided to visit DA-IICT, Gandhinagar.
Here is his experience of DA-IICT, Gandhinagar with better references -

Although, you should choose according to your subject preference.
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.

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:

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.
Mathematics at SVNIT is not great. According to my sister studying there, the teaching way is not good.
The Mathematics Department is very disappointing. The lecturers do not teach well and they barely understand the material themselves. They are also quite lazy about their responsibilities towards their students.
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.
