What things should I compulsarily know before joining SVNIT Surat?

Here are some things you should know about SVNIT before joining the college-

1. SVNIT has one of the best hostels in India among technical institutes. The hostels for third and final year boys are great, but first and second year hostels are also good.
2. It is up to you to make new friends by interacting with people in your hostel, your classes, and the college clubs and societies.
3. The professors are decent in some of the departments, and not up to the mark in others. First and second year students are mostly taught by teaching assistants. It is your responsibility to gain knowledge from your teachers.
4. The college gym facility is excellent. The Badminton, Lawn Tennis and Basketball courts are decent. There is a huge Cricket cum Football ground on campus, but it is not maintained properly by the college administration.
5. Surat City has really good food joints, especially if you are a Gujarati. The hostel mess serves decent food. Initially the mess food feels really likable, but then it starts to become repetitive and boring. This is the case for every hostel. 
6. Every hostel has a night canteen facility, and there is a nice central canteen within the campus.
7. You won’t be spoon fed, so to get decent grades you’ll have to make a study routine for yourself. No one will tell you to study.
8. With a decent study routine, you can easily score 7-8 CGPA, and even go on to score 9 CGPA with some extra effort.
9. There’s plenty of hangout spots around the college, ‘Galla’ being a popular one, just outside the campus. There’s plenty of restaurants in Surat, some are affordable, while some are high-end. 

Surat is an amazing city, and SVNIT will offer you a lifetime experience.
