NIT Surathkal: 3 Answered Questions

How is Chemical Engineering at NIT Surathkal?

Shikha GhosalStudied BTech in Computer Science, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2019)

The Chemical Engineering branch at NIT Surathkal isn’t well-known because of its obsolete curriculum and poor placement scenario. I hope you haven’t yet joined it but if you have known that there is no turning back. It’s better to start working hard to compensate for the poor branch than to sit and regret.

It’s better to opt for Chemical in Trichy or Warangal. Otherwise, you can study hard in the 1st year and opt for a branch change. Even if you fail to get CSE/IT, even civil and mining will do.

I have many friends who joined this department recently and all of them are regretting their decision big time. Some even call it the worst in the institution. So I will recommend you to go for Chemical in NIT Warangal instead.

How is the placement of chemical engineering in NIT Surathkal?

Rita Sarkar SethStudied at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2019)

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:

ExxonMobil
Reliance Industries Limited
GAIL
Hindustan Unilever Limited
Aditya Birla Group
IOCL
HPCL

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.

Which college is better: NIT Surat chemical or NIT Surathkal metallurgy?

Rohit RoyStudied at NIT Trichy (2019)

Considering the opportunities which may get available for you in the future, I would suggest you go for Chemical Engineering at NIT Surat as it would be a better option over metallurgy. As my sister studied there, I am very well aware of the college and its pros and cons.

Many PSUs and organizations recruit students of the Chemical Engineering department from NIT Surat.
Some of these PSUs which recruit from the college include BPCL, HPCL, IOCL, and COAL India.
Many people consider NIT Surathkal to be better than NIT Surat based on incomplete information and the NIRF ranking released by the Ministry of Education, India.

Categories	Chemical at NIT Surat	Metallurgy at NIT Surathkal
Course Fee	5.63 lakh	5.45 lakh
Highest CTC	16 LPA	12 LPA
Average CTC	7 LPA	6 LPA
Recruiting Companies	ONGC, DE Shaw, GlaxoSmithKline, Hindustan Unilever, etc.	Tata Steel, Ambuja Cement, Tech Mahindra, Vedanta, etc.

Choose wisely after performing a significant amount of research and analysis about the courses that you wish to get enrolled in from either of these institutions.
