I am an alumnus of SVNIT, and my experience of this college has been great.
SVNIT is a good college in every aspect. It has a good campus, good hostel facilities, decent mess food and good infrastructure.
It is located in a developed part of Surat, the Dumas Road. So it offers good connectivity. The area has easy access to malls, theaters, and amazing eateries.
If you don’t get a top NIT or one of the IITs, SVNIT is the next best option.
