You can opt for NIT Warangal even if you get admission to another branch. They have an interesting branch-changing policy. If you are ready to work harder, then you can opt for any other degree and score high marks in the first year, which will allow you to switch to CS after your first year. This institute offers quality education, good infrastructure, and good placement support to its students.
So, you can choose NIT Warangal for CS
NIT Warangal is mainly oriented towards the courses BTech, MTech, and MCA. This institute is not good for MBAs. It is better to opt for institutes like IIMs, Symbiosis, ISB, etc. to get more exposure to the subject. So do not opt for NIT Warangal if you have better options in hand.
In my opinion, if you are getting a top NIT, then choosing CSE will be a better decision unless you are interested in any other specific branch. As far as comparing the CSE branch in Warangal and Surathkal, both offer similar opportunities and academic experience.
Given all the similarities, choosing one between these two NITs depends more on your personal choices such as proximity to home and crowd. If you are from the home state of Karnataka choose Surathkal but if you are from the home state of Warangal, choose NIT Warangal.
I would recommend you to go for NIT Warangal as it has better opportunities if you are inclined towards research. The alumni base is huge and there is even an innovation garage where the ideas of students are implemented.
I have a friend who completed his BTech in Metallurgical and Material Engineering from NIT Warangal last year. According to him, the institute and the branch offer a plethora of academic and job opportunities during and after the course.
The department provides ample opportunities to those who are genuinely interested in the branch or the subject. Passionate students receive great help from the faculty but you need to be self-motivated to avail the resources.
Here are a few future prospects for a Metallurgy and Material Engineering student of NIT Warangal
Today, the alumni of this department are pursuing successful careers so I feel in the long run you will be able to benefit from this too. So go for this branch!
As a female student at NIT Surathkal, I can tell you about my experience at my own college.
I belong to North India, which is why the first few months were spent in homesickness. Your Bangalorean friends will grab every opportunity to visit their home every other weekend. You, on the other hand, would get to visit home once, during Dussehra for a week or so. But as time passes, the weather problem and homesickness will slowly subside.The campus organizes plenty of events all the time, so you won’t feel bored at all. Also, you’ll get to explore Mangalore and Manipal.
The girls’ mess food is pretty decent. Earlier, it’s difficult to adjust to hostel food, but you’ll adapt quickly. The girls’ mess serves dal and rice every afternoon and night. The dal is pretty decent. Even the dosas and idlis served during breakfast are pretty decent. Buttermilk is served every afternoon, and a cup of curd is served at night. Bread-jam-butter is available for breakfast. In the evening, snacks are served with tea/coffee/milk. The tea tastes pretty good.
Thrice a week, ice cream is served, and sweets are served once a week. Paneer is served twice a week. Veg Biryani is served in Sunday dinners. Each month, a grand dinner is organized with extra items on the menu like soup, salad, cornetto and sweets.
The hostel life at NIT Surathkal is pretty decent for girls. The hostel timings are lenient. First year girls need to be back by 8:30 pm. From 2nd year onwards, girls need to be back by 10 pm. NIT Surathkal also has a private beach of its own.
I don’t know about NIT Warangal or NIT Allahabad, but the college life of girl students is overall good at NIT Surathkal.
For EE/EEE, out of NIT Surathkal, NITW, NIT Trichy, MANIT Bhopal, MNNIT Allahabad, NIT Calicut, and MNIT Jaipur, I would suggest three institutes in the following order of preference-
My best friend is studying EEE at NITK and he is quite happy with the department. The teachers in the department are a bit strict. But if you bring up a good project idea and stay attentive in their class, you’ll be in a good position. Also, scoring good grades can be a bit tough, but with hardwork and good preparation, you will surely ace your exams.
In terms of EEE placements, NITK, NIT Trichy, and NITW are all equally good options.
As a NITK student, you will get certain benefits. These are-
Thus, out of NIT Calicut, NITK, NITW, and all the other options listed by you, I would suggest you to choose NITK Surathkal for your EEE.
Comparing a dormant branch like Civil with the most coveted branch CSE isn’t a very logical way of getting an idea of the placement scenario. Every student of the CSE branch ends up with a core job so its placement scenario is incomparable. Civil Engineering despite having a low demand has a decent number of core positions recruited.
Nowadays, the youth is not interested in joining PSUs mainly because of their low pay in comparison to software companies. Most civil engineering students are interested in core positions so the numbers in non-core aren't that great. Moreover, the number of students interested in MS, CAT, and GATE is growing every year affecting the placement statistics largely.
Here is a general comparison of placement statistics of both the branches

The statistics don’t exactly convey the students' intention. In reality, most students are able to secure a job in their desired field, and only a few fail to do so.
Shifting to a hostel is leaving your own cozy space and moving to an unknown one. The experience is quite overwhelming. You will find almost everything in and around the NIT Warangal campus. Even then, take these small and forgettable items to prevent inconvenience and multiple trips to the market-
These things are quite handy and must be packed for your stay at the NIT Warangal hostel.
Also, do not forget to pack your important documents and certificates .
The job opportunities of an MSc Maths student at NIT Warangal depend solely on his own inclinations and goals. For instance, if you want to go for an IT job, you might receive some offers. However, because of the intense competition between MSc and MTech students, it will be hard to get a great package.

If you want to enter Academica, you can ask one of your professors to write a letter of recommendation.
So, the availability of job opportunities at NIT Warangal directly depends on you alone.
Rather than giving you a specific answer, I will be commenting on individual parameters. This is because most of the aforementioned institutes are similar in terms of education, placements, and opportunities. So it’s best to consider their uniqueness and align them with your preferences
One thing I love about IIT Mandi is its young faculties that are passionate about research and come down to the level of students during interactions. So choose the one that matches your core interests!
