You should not be expecting placements for an M.Tech from NIT Surathkal. The scenario is quite different for the CS/IT background students.

  • Talking about the mechanical department, it is great.
  • The professors are very well-read and good at their job.
  • You will have opportunities to go for research.
  • You can use the NITian tag to find an internship but you need to put in your own efforts.
  • If you do well at the internship, you will have a chance of getting a pre-placement offer.
Categories M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering at NIT Surathkal
Course Fee 1.29 lakhs
Course Duration 2 years
Highest CTC 14-15 LPA
Average CTC 7 LPA

Do you enjoy your life at NIT Surathkal?

One of my friends recently joined NIT Surathkal and shared her experiences of studying at this college. During the orientation, the SJA was filled with students, profs, deans, parents, seniors, and many others. Surprisingly this was followed by a veg together on the beach, and she knew right then that this wasn’t an ordinary college and she was going to have the best college life.

It’s true that the infrastructure, hostels, and mess food aren’t at par with other NITs but she realized that all these things were secondary. What mattered was the abundance of opportunities she was getting and not to forget the serene beach view. 

She along with her friends would leave for the classes at the last minute and mostly submit her assignments in time. She enjoyed a lot with her friends dancing and roaming around the campus or gossiping in the evenings sitting outside the sports complex. They would bunk the classes occasionally and play CS, and COD. She looked upon her seniors and faculties and respected them a lot. Overall, her life at NIT Surathkal was nothing like she expected before joining.

Which one should I choose, NSIT CSE or NIT Surathkal IT branch or MNNIT Allahabad CSE knowing that I stay in Delhi?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : August 23rd, 2023

NSIT CSE is the better choice than NIT Surathkal IT and MNNIT Allahabad CSE. This is because it's located in the capital city which is a hub of budding startups and companies. Delhi also has excellent coaching institutes for preparation for CAT, coding, and GATE. The institute, therefore, offers better opportunities for development and learning. Additionally, the capital city has many places to explore so you can have a fun off-campus life too.

NIT Surathkal on the other hand is away from the hustle and bustle of the metro city so if you prefer a peaceful college experience then choose NIT Surathkal. 

So, if you want to stay in the capital and experience a dynamic life, choose IIIT Delhi or NSIT else go for NIT Surathkal.

Which is the best option: CSE at IIIT Delhi, dual (economics) at BITS Goa/Hyderabad, or information technology at NIT Suratkal?

YS
Yukti Sharma Posted On : August 23rd, 2021
Studied at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus

The answer to this question depends on how you can cope with zealous competition after joining college. If you are confident that you can join the brawl and top in your first year, I would highly recommend taking MSc in Economics at BITS Goa Pilani. 

Pros
  • BITS Pilani has been ranked among top 30 institutes in NIRF Ranking 2020. 
  • In your 2nd year, you can choose a B.E. course according to your first year CGPA, including the highly coveted CSE program.
Cons
  • You'll have to spend one more year as compared to your B.E. colleagues.
  • Getting your desired course can be a real disadvantage, seeing that there is no dearth of distractions on campus.

If you do not want to take a risk, choosing IT at NIT Surathkal is the best option for you. Since the syllabus almost corresponds to that of CSE and the infrastructure is mind-blowing at the campus.

I have a choice between IT (Information Technology) in NIT, Surathkal and CS (computer science) in RVCE, Bangalore. Which one would be a better choice in terms of placements, Brand name etc.?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

I would like to highlight a few points in favor of choosing IT at NIT Surathkal-

  1. IT and CSE have more or less the same curriculum.
  2. NITK offers excellent placements. This is especially true for circuital branches- CSE, IT, ECE and EEE. Top students from these branches are offered placements at brands like Google and Microsoft.
  3. NITK is a brand in itself. Since it is an NIT, it offers much more exposure and opportunities. 
  4. NITK admits JEE Mains toppers from all across the country. So it has a very rich crowd.
  5. As a Bangalorean, you can frequently visit home from NITK. 
  6. As a hosteller at NITK, you’ll learn important life skills. 

Thus, based on these factors, I would recommend you choose IT at NIT Surathkal over CS at RVCE Bangalore.

Which is better: IT at NITK or CSE at NITC?

KS
Khushi Sharma Posted On : August 21st, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2019)

NIT Surathkal IT is far superior to NIT Calicut. It is well-known in India for its CSE/IT branches. It is a highly regarded engineering college in India, and after four years of B.Tech college, the specific branch does not matter.

NITK outperforms Calicut in terms of reputation and placements. Furthermore, because of the higher cutoffs, the quality of students may be slightly higher here.

IT at NITK is nearly equivalent to CSE here. During placements, nearly all companies open to CS are open for IT as well.

Categories IT at NITK CSE at NITC
Course fee 5.40 lakhs 5.42 lakhs
Placement rate 92% 85%
Average salary package 8 LPA 8.1 LPA
Highest salary package 35 LPA 36 LPA

The subjects taught and the syllabus in both departments are also similar. In fact, the IT department may be slightly better than the CS department in terms of facilities and infrastructure, as it is newer. Previously, the quality of students in CS was higher than in IT, but with significant increases in IT cutoffs, both are now equally good.
