SVNIT has one of the best hostels, and I personally liked each one that I stayed in. Boys can opt for a single room from second year onwards.
Fresher boys are allotted Gajjar Bhawan, and it is the best hostel for boys, at SVNIT. 2nd year boys are allotted Tagore Bhawan and Nehru Bhawan. Tagore Bhawan has small and cozy rooms, but the small bathrooms are a drawback. 3rd and final year boys get SV Bhawan which has well ventilated single rooms with an attached balcony. Bhabha is another option for 3rd year boys. The good thing about Bhabha is that you can play endless cricket with friends over there.
The hostel messes are decent. Aamras, ice cream, egg curry, chaas and french fries are some of the good options served in the messes. There is no system of self service, rather the food is given on your plate by the mess staff. Hostel day is the time to eat as much as you want, and dance to your heart’s content. Each hostel has its own mess.
The campus is filled with crows, pigeons and peacocks. The hostels have TT rooms, and hostel sports events are also organized regularly.
The SVNIT hostels have good and safe living conditions. You will enjoy your stay at the institution.
The reputation of SVNIT has comparatively declined over the years.
The same is evident from these facts-
Though plenty of improvements have been made in the college infrastructure, I tried to shed light on some of the unfortunate incidents from the past.
There are plenty other reasons for the declining state of SVNIT, and the administration should take appropriate actions to re-establish the reputation of this institution.
Here are a few hangout places outside of the SVNIT campus, other than malls-
These are some of the places which you can visit in Surat on weekends, and experience something new.
As a student of SVNIT, I can only shed light on my college.
During 2022, 94 students of B.Tech CSE, out of 106 registered students, were successfully placed from the campus. 44 LPA was the highest package offered, the average package was 15.22 LPA, and the lowest package was 5.56 LPA.
SVNIT is a good college for B.Tech CSE. You can definitely consider it for your engineering studies.
SVNIT is a well-reputed engineering college.
Here are some of its distinguishing qualities-
SVNIT is a unique experience in itself, and you’ll come to adore this college.
As a senior I would advise you to never compare your hostel with your home. Hostel life is a unique experience, and you’ll meet people from various backgrounds and cultures. Hostel life will have something in store for you, irrespective of who you are and where you are from.
Fresher boys are allotted Gajjar Bhawan at SVNIT. It is a four storey building, located at the end corner of the campus. The building is in a good condition with proper air circulation. It is furnished and painted. It is huge enough to also house M.Tech 2nd years and hostel workers. The fresher rooms are spacious and double seater. You’ll get a single room from second year onwards. The rooms are allotted randomly at the time of hostel admission.
Each room contains two beds, two mattresses and mattress covers, two pillows and pillow covers ( depends upon availability), two chairs, two study tables, one big iron cupboard, one white board, one green board, one LAN connection port and a LAN cable, curtains on the windows, mosquito nets, one fan, three charging slots, one tubelight and one lamp.
The hostel has common washrooms, payable but affordable laundry facility, unlimited Wifi and LAN facility with high speed internet, clean surroundings, the lounge room has English, Hindi and Gujarati daily newspapers, along with some monthly magazines, there is a cycle parking on the ground floor, there are 2-3 table tennis courts, a volleyball ground, a small library, a study room, a TV room, a night canteen and a computer lab with internet facility.
These are some of the facilities available at the first year hostel. Overall, the hostels at SVNIT are good enough.
You’ll be given a chance to switch to another branch after your first year. The process is known as branch sliding, and it will be based on your first year CGPA and the vacancy in your preferred branch.
For Mechanical, try to obtain a 9.2+ CGPA in your first year. For CSE, at least 9.6 is required because there's always a huge competition for this branch. For Electrical, 8.5 is enough. For Chemical, ECE and Civil, an 8 CGPA is enough.
Try to maintain a good score in your first year for a branch switch at SVNIT.
It’s a bit different at SVNIT than most other colleges. Your studies will start from the first day itself, and no professor will mention anything about freshers’ at all.
But after the first midsems, your patience will be rewarded with the best freshers’ in the form of a two day college fest called Kashish. The plus point is that by that time (nearly two months from the start of your semester), you’ll become friends with at least some of the people at college. So you won’t feel like an unaware nobody in your own freshers’.
Kashish has a singing and a dancing night, and anyone can participate after passing some audition rounds. The day events are equally interesting for people who are passionate about tech, debate, drama, etc. It is the best time to have fun and wear informals to college. The pageant show is a good opportunity to be titled Mr. or Ms. Kashish, and come into the limelight.
So be patient, and you’ll get to enjoy a really fun and memorable freshers’ at SVNIT.
NIT Rourkela is better than NIT Surat and NIT Jaipur. They have the best department, especially in mechanical Engineering. This institute offers quality education, guarantees 100% placement support, has well-qualified and experienced scholars, a rich alumni network, and a good infrastructure. In addition, they have an impressive course curriculum that touches all spheres of the field. Rourkela is one of the most flourishing industrial cities, which helps to widen your horizons.
So you can choose NIT Rourkela without any hesitation.
SVNIT offers a good B.Tech Civil Engineering program.
The Structural Engineering lab and the Fluid Mechanics lab are well-made and well-equipped. You’ll perform some experiments over there, and the experience will be good.
The faculty for Structural Engineering course has a lot of experience. They teach in a very professional manner, and create a brilliant understanding of important concepts. As for Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics, the professors teach concepts like channel flow, fluid flow, computational fluid dynamics, etc. in an amazing manner.
You’ll use MATLAB to code for CFD, and the experience will be very enriching. All these classes have been really helpful in building my fundamentals. As for surveying, the teachers plan a week-long trip for two semesters wherein you’ll be visiting the mountains to plot contours.
The professors are very helpful and supportive for the final year project-work. They offer every possible guidance from their side. The final year projects are very interesting, for example, wind tunnel tests in which you can operate a wind tunnel. There are other subjects like costs and estimation, environmental engineering, construction project management, etc. as well.
The classroom teaching is really good, and you’ll learn a lot from the faculty. For someone who is passionate about Civil Engineering, SVNIT is an ideal place.
