Yes, it is a tier 1 college. NIT Surathkal ranking is 10 for B.Tech as per NIRF 2021. The Week 2021 ranked the institute 11 overall.
Other than NIT K, the other tier 1 engineering colleges in India are IIT B, IIT K, IIT KGP, IIT D, IIT M, IIT BHU, IIT HYD, NITT, NITW, and IIIT HYD.
One of my friends studying at NIT Surathkal has provided the information about the college timings. As he is a BTech 1st year student he is only able to share his particular timetable. Though there might not be vast differences.
Therefore, the National Institute of Technology Surathkal schedule is not that hectic. Students easily manage their own time table between the lectures.
NIT Surathkal, also known as the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, is one of the top engineering colleges in India, and it offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in engineering, including chemical engineering. Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the design, development, and operation of chemical processes and plants.
The placement of students in chemical engineering or any other branch of engineering depends on several factors, such as the reputation of the college, the academic performance of the students, the demand for the specific branch in the job market, and the economic conditions of the country.
That being said, NITs in India are generally known for their good placement records, and NIT Surathkal is no exception. The college has a dedicated placement cell that works to ensure that students get placed in reputed companies and organizations. Some of the top recruiters for chemical engineering in NIT Surathkal include:
Apart from these, many other companies also visit the campus for recruitment, offering roles in core engineering as well as management and consultancy. The average salary package for chemical engineering students in NIT Surathkal can vary depending on the company, but it generally ranges from 6-8 LPA.
NIT Surathkal placement opportunities for chemical engineering are considered to be good, and students who perform well academically and are proactive in seeking job opportunities should be able to secure good placements after graduation.
There is no clear winner in this comparison. If you are interested in Mining Engineering and want to learn fundamental and core technicalities, then NIT Surathkal will be better. As an institute, NITK is better than other engineering colleges in Karnataka. It offers better academics, exposure, facilities, and campus life. For Mining, NIT Surtahkal placements are great. Coal India visits NITK for recruiting students. The average CTC received by the students of this bench is INR 5-6 LPA.
But if you aren’t particularly interested in Mining Engineering, then you should choose CSE at PES University. In the current industry landscape, CSE offers better placements with cushy salary packages.
For a candidate with a GATE score of 611 and a rank of 5900, admission in design or thermal mechanics at NIT Surathkal is not possible in general. But, there are chances of admission of such a candidate in the present years as most candidates with similar ranks are either from IITs or NITs.
The points below give some insights regarding the scenario of admission.
These are some key highlights regarding the admission in design/thermal/applied mechanics at institutes like NIT Surathkal and MNNIT Allahabad and the outcome of such courses.
Since you have not mentioned any particular branch, I assume that you are getting to choose from all the branches at both institutions. Both the colleges have their own pros and cons.

One of my friends got ousted from M.Tech in NIT Surathkal due to poor marks in the beginning semester. In the next year, he got into NIT Trichy and successfully secured a PSU job in placement. On the other hand, there were several students from that batch of NIT Surathkal who remained unemployed.
In the batch of 2012-14, about 29 students from M.Tech were unplaced in NIT Surathkal. Even the training and placement cell and the department did not care about the failure of so many students.
There are students from NIT Surathkal who are still struggling with odd jobs in hand, and some are even unable to settle in life.
So, if you have to choose between NIT Surathkal and NIT Trichy, prefer NIT Trichy. You will get better placement and opportunities at NIT Trichy as compared to NIT Surathkal.
