Which is the better option; doing computer engineering at SVNIT-Surat, Gujarat or b.tech in ict at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, Gujarat?
According to my friends at DAIICT, it is definitely a better choice among the two. Considering factors like placement, brand reputation, and coding culture.
The points below give a brief overview of some of the advantages of choosing DAIICT over SVNIT.

- The overall placement statistics of DAIICT are far better than that in SVNIT, with more high-paying jobs offered in the institute.
- DAIICT doesn’t have as good a reputation as NITs in India. But, in companies like Amazon, MAQ, Morgan Stanley, etc, DAIICT has a far better reputation than SVNIT.
- There is an excellent open-source coding environment in DAIICT.
- The number of GSoC entries from both institutes makes it evident that DAIICT has much more success in open-source contribution.

How was your first day at NIT Surat? (SVNIT)?
A friend of mine studies there at NIT Surat, here’s a snippet from his first day at the institute.
- He was already familiar with the room as he visited the hostel on the day he went to the campus for admission. After setting up the room he contacted a senior to know what to do next.
- His senior advised him to buy a bicycle as it’s quite a walk from the hostel compound to the classroom complex.
- After a few hours, he went to the mess with his friends from school who also took admission at the institute and was staying in the hostel. Despite the reputation of mess food at any given educational institute, my friend vouches for the food at NIT Surat.
When they came back from the mess, the light was out. They spend their first night in the dark. The power cut continued till the next morning.
How is the SVNIT Campus?
Unlike other NIT campuses, the SVNIT campus is located in the main city. Other NITs are generally located on the outskirts of the main cities. Here are some details about SVNIT.

- The campus will never disappoint you as, like any other IIT/NIT, the SVNIT campus is adorned with greenery all around
- Previously, the lake present near the campus used to be a part of the campus too, but now the authorities have constructed a wall dividing the lake and the campus.
- There are no bus or shuttle services inside the campus as it is relatively smaller. But the roads are pretty decent. Several people come inside the campus for morning walks.
- New CRC buildings are where classes are conducted for the first years. The infrastructure is excellent.
- Old classes carry on in the old departments as it is.
- Old and new hostels are present on the campus. Third and fourth-year students stay in the new hostels.

How is a dual degree in mechanical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar in comparison with NIT Surat (SVNIT) mechanical engineering?
I pursued my B.Tech Mechanical from SVNIT, thus, I can only comment on my college.
The faculty of the mechanical department is top notch. Majority of our teachers are highly driven. It is because of them that mechanical is the most famous branch of our college. Our teachers emphasize practical knowledge over mere theoretical understanding. Many of them have more than 10 years of experience in teaching. The department has enough professors, so very few courses are taken by TAs. The faculty is very helpful for projects and research work.
The curriculum for B.Tech Mechanical is very rich, and you’ll get to choose one elective per semester in the 3rd and 4th year. You can choose courses from other branches as well. You can choose management courses, programming courses, physics related courses, automobile courses, etc. SVNIT is probably the only college that teaches its students topics like Mechatronics, Computational fluid mechanics (CFD), Cryogenics, etc. at the UG level itself.
Unfortunately, like most other colleges, our practical syllabus and lab equipment needs to be upgraded. The labs do not contain equipment of the latest technology. The workshop contains all conventional and non conventional machines like lathe, shoper, milling, grinding, welding, abrasive jet machine, EDM, 3-D printer, etc.
As far as B.Tech Mechanical at SVNIT is concerned, I would say it is quite a decent option.
Which college is best for doing master's in structural engineering? CEPT university, Nirma or SVNIT Surat?
SVNIT is theoretical research-based while CEPT is more practice-oriented. If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. further or if you would like to get placed on-campus, then SVNIT is your place.
After matching your requirements focus on excelling at GATE to get structural engineering getting into structural engineering at SVNIT.
If you choose CEPT then you will have to work hard to get a job. It is well known in all of Asia and has one of the best civil engineers. The faculty is highly qualified, its alumni are working in MNCs and most of them get annual trips abroad.
Lastly, if you are not from Ahmedabad you will have to stay at the CEPT hostel which is an awesome place to stay, as you will see for yourself if you so choose to be.
Be mindful of the fees because both SVNIT and Nirma charge more about the quality they provide.
Should I prefer NIT Surat CS or BITS Goa EEE or CS?
There are several reasons why BITS Pilani Goa Campus CS is considered better than NIT Surat CS. Here are some of the main reasons:
- Better Infrastructure: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has a world-class infrastructure with modern facilities and amenities that provide students with a comfortable and conducive learning environment. On the other hand, NIT Surat's infrastructure, though decent, is not as advanced as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.

NIT Surat, while also promoting coding, does not have as vibrant a coding culture as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
- No Ragging: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has a strict anti-ragging policy, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all students. In contrast, NIT Surat has had some cases of ragging in the past.
- Better Co-Curriculars and Extra-Curriculars: BITS Pilani Goa Campus offers a wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, including sports, cultural events, and technical clubs. NIT Surat also offers such activities, but the range and quality of these activities are not as good as those offered by BITS Pilani Goa Campus.

NIT Surat also aims for this, but the approach and emphasis are not as comprehensive as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
