Curriculum : NIT Surathkal has an extensive and rigorous academic curriculum that covers all important areas of civil engineering be it structural analysis or transportation engineering.

Which NIT is better for civil engineering, NIT Surathkal or NIT Warangal?

Shivani SinghStudied at National Institute of Technology, Warangal (2019)

If you are considering pursuing engineering and wondering which branch to choose, there are some important things you should keep in mind while making a decision. Here are some key points to consider:

If earning a hefty package from a job is your dream, it's better not to opt for Civil engineering. While there is some scope for growth in this field, the construction industry in India is not yet mature enough to offer salaries comparable to those in the software industry. Managers in the software industry often earn the same amount as director-level employees in the construction industry.
While you may think that there is less competition in Civil engineering, this is not necessarily the case. Every year, a large number of Civil engineers graduate from colleges all over India, saturating the construction industry. This means that there is a lot of competition for jobs in this field.
If you have a family business in construction or plan to start one in the future, then pursuing Civil engineering may be a good option for you. In this case, it may be helpful to join a nearby college and get involved in construction activities simultaneously with your studies. This will give you practical experience and help you gain a better understanding of the industry.
Keep in mind that the quality of your college matters initially, but after a few years, your experience and skills will be more important. So, even if you attend a lesser-known college, you can still succeed in the field if you have the right skills and experience.

If you are still interested in pursuing Civil engineering despite the challenges, then you may want to consider NIT Warangal. According to the author of the original statement, this institution is better than NIT Surathkal. However, keep in mind that this is a subjective opinion and you should do your own research before making a decision.

Does NIT Surathkal have a good placement record for civil engineers?

Pooja RaniB.E Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (1966)

There is very little demand for civil engineers here in the Indian markets. Unfortunately, not many skilled civil engineers are output from any Indian engineering college.

The curriculum of all engineering colleges hasn’t been updated for over a decade and it is not at all in sync with the current needs and requirements of the civil industry.
Most of the civil engineers who pass out from the reputed colleges across India are either offered computer programming jobs with a package of 5-10 LPA on an average or become managers in the industry.
The reality of civil engineering in India is quite a sad sight to look at and the students are paying with their twisted career choices for it.

There is no doubt to the fact that NIT Surathkal is an impressive institute with reputed faculty guiding the students, with an exception for the branch of civil engineering. Either the students are not able to develop sufficient interest in the same or the curriculum is not such that invokes interest or keeps them motivated enough. Moreover, it is also not in accordance with the industrial standards and needs.
