How many marks are required to get NIT Surathkal in JEE main?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 15th, 2023

The JEE Mains score required to get into NIT Surathkal depends on the branch you are seeking.

If you wish to study B.Tech CSE, you’ll require roughly between 200-220 marks as a general candidate. But if your aim is to simply get into NITK with any branch, aim for a 160+ score. 

The campus of NIT Surathkal is really beautiful. The college has its own private beach and a top notch infrastructure. The campus is spread across roughly 300 acres, and it is one of the top engineering colleges in India.

I would recommend you work really hard and give your best shot to get into NIT Surathkal.

Which is better, VIT CS or NIT Surathkal CS?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 14th, 2023

Even though I am a CSE student at VIT Vellore, I would like to point out some weaknesses of my institution-

  1. The annual intake for all the branches, all four categories, is quite high at VIT Vellore. It is close to 5000 students each year. In the CSE branch alone, close to 1300 students are admitted annually (including Bioinformatics).
  2. Placements seem very high, but in reality, large scale mass recruitments by IT firms like Cognizant, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Accenture, etc. inflate the placement figures. 
  3. The course fee at VIT is comparatively higher. It is around 1.95 Lakhs per year. This too if you are a category 1 (merit) student. Around 1 Lakh per year is added if you belong to the other three categories. 
  4. Advanced Placement Training sessions have been introduced for students. But these sessions aren’t really helpful in practicality. In fact 6 hours of each weekend is spent in these sessions. 
  5. Those with a good CGPA get good hostel rooms in good blocks. Those who fail to score high grades are given older blocks.
  6. The hostel rules are strict. This is especially true when you have to get a leave sanctioned from your faculty advisor or proctor.

NIT Surathkal, on the other hand, is a government college. It has an intake of around 800 students in all the branches, with 120 students in CSE. The institution offers top notch placements. There are no mass hirings. The course fee falls between 1.38 to 1.57 Lakhs per year. College rules are much more flexible.

Thus, based on these observations, I would suggest you take admissions in NIT Surathkal for your CSE program.

Which NIT is better for civil engineering, NIT Surathkal or NIT Warangal?

SS
Shivani Singh Posted On : April 22nd, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Warangal (2019)

 If you are considering pursuing engineering and wondering which branch to choose, there are some important things you should keep in mind while making a decision. Here are some key points to consider:

  • If earning a hefty package from a job is your dream, it's better not to opt for Civil engineering. While there is some scope for growth in this field, the construction industry in India is not yet mature enough to offer salaries comparable to those in the software industry. Managers in the software industry often earn the same amount as director-level employees in the construction industry.
  • While you may think that there is less competition in Civil engineering, this is not necessarily the case. Every year, a large number of Civil engineers graduate from colleges all over India, saturating the construction industry. This means that there is a lot of competition for jobs in this field.
  • If you have a family business in construction or plan to start one in the future, then pursuing Civil engineering may be a good option for you. In this case, it may be helpful to join a nearby college and get involved in construction activities simultaneously with your studies. This will give you practical experience and help you gain a better understanding of the industry.
  • Keep in mind that the quality of your college matters initially, but after a few years, your experience and skills will be more important. So, even if you attend a lesser-known college, you can still succeed in the field if you have the right skills and experience.

If you are still interested in pursuing Civil engineering despite the challenges, then you may want to consider NIT Warangal. According to the author of the original statement, this institution is better than NIT Surathkal. However, keep in mind that this is a subjective opinion and you should do your own research before making a decision.

I got ECE at RVCE Bangalore. Now I can get ECE branch at NIT Surathkal. Which is the better option?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : September 14th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

One of my friends is currently pursuing her final year Btech in ECE in NIT Surathkal and shared a few key points 

  • Placements: The placement scenario for the ECE branch of both NIT Surathkal and RVCE is somewhat similar. Most companies like TI and Samsung visit both the colleges and offer similar packages. However, NIT students face intense competition due to relative grading so grabbing good packages is more challenging than at RVCE.
  • Brand : It cannot be denied that the NIT tag adds a lot of value to your resume and opens multiple doors of opportunities.
  • Faculty : The ECE department of NITK has one of the best faculties in comparison to any other departments. Most of them are highly experienced and you can do many projects under them. The course curriculum is also revised frequently.
  • Opportunities : RVCE is located in Bangalore and thus offers better off-campus opportunities than NIT Surathkal.

Ultimately, both colleges are equally good in their own way. It’s up to you to choose the right one for you!

What are the things which differentiate NIT Surathkal from other NITs?

AC
Arindam Chakraborty Posted On : September 15th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal

Being at an NIT is itself a great deal. The tag of ‘Nitian’ holds lots of value and prestige. I am listing down certain unique elements of my college-

  1. ISRO has set up a Regional Academic Center for Space over here to carry out joint research and development activities in space tech. 
  2. NIT Surathkal has its own private beach. The beach is just 10 minutes away from hostels, and the sunset here is absolutely breathtaking.
  3. There are many core industries located near the campus. You can work as an unpaid intern in them, in case you fail to land a paid internship. This comes as a great relief for students from Civil, Electrical, Metallurgy and Chemical.
  4. The campus contains numerous shops and canteens. An app named “ChangePay” is available exclusively for the campus students to order items, which will then be delivered to your hostel. 
  5. Each year on Republic Day, one of the clubs of NITK (DDFC) organizes a one day fest called BHARAT DARSHAN. It is a competition between students from different states where you can represent your culture through dance, drama, etc. in order to win the title.
  6. There is a virtual lab on campus. There’s also a Centre for System Design (CSD). 
  7. Here are some places you can visit from NITK- Kayaking, Coorg, Goa, Manipal, Malpe beach, Kudremukh, Chikmagalur, Mysore, Bangalore, Ooty, Jog falls, etc. . You can easily rent a two/four wheeler to visit these spots.
  8. NITK hosts its technical fest-ENGINEER, and its cultural fest-INCIDENT during the odd and even semesters respectively. 

These are some of the unique elements of NIT Surathkal which make this college truly special.

How is the metallurgy department at NIT Surathkal?

AD
Anik Dhar Posted On : September 15th, 2023
M.Tech from National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2018)

The Metallurgy department of NIT Surathkal is decent and the prospect it offers depends more on what you want after your engineering. It has now become Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, to cater to the growing requirement for materials science and engineering, the department gives more importance to materials engineering than traditional metallurgy. Here are a few highlights of the branch 

  • The batch size is smaller than other departments like Mech, EC, EE, and Civil.
  • The curriculum needs a bit of revision but the branch as a whole is decent. 
  • The materials engineering courses are excellent and provide enough knowledge to pursue higher studies in this field.
  • The department facilities are not at par with NIT standards. 
  • The department has one SEM and XRD, a decent heat treatment lab, a metallography lab, and a materials testing lab.

Ultimately, the Metallurgy branch of NIT Surathkal has a decent scope. If you want to land a job after graduation, then the branch and even the institute do not matter. Your grades and skills come into play.

Which is the best college among NIT (Trichy,Warangal,Suratkal) for any Maharashtrian or North Indian to live happily i.e without facing any dominance of vernacular dialect student?

GC
Gautam Chowdhury Posted On : July 19th, 2023
studied at National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India

You won’t face any kind of dominance or bias studying at either college. The students are friendly and unless you provoke the other party, no one’s going to interfere in your business or harass you. It’s good to make friends belonging to diverse cultures rather than limiting yourself to certain cultural boundaries.  Usually, IITs and NITs have very friendly seniors and peers and there isn’t ragging in any form.

Remember you are not here just to score a high grade or win medals. Rather, you are here to change your life and yourself and only learning from others' experiences will help you go a long way. So don’t worry and go for either NIT Trichy or NIT Warangal and make the most out of the available resources. Be empathetic and always think from a broader perspective. Only then can you attain new heights.
