Admission to NITK's postgraduate courses, specifically for civil engineering graduates, is based on the GATE exam. Successful candidates can choose from 8 courses within the civil engineering department or applied mechanics. The faculty is highly qualified, with over 90% holding a PhD, and an average age of 35. Courses include about 40 lectures per subject, focusing on real-life examples to prepare students for industry challenges. The tuition fee per semester is approximately ?54,000, varying slightly between semesters.
The fee structure is considered expensive, with higher costs for undergraduate and NRI students. NITK has a strong placement record, especially in circuit branches, with most securing jobs by the final year. While undergraduate placements are above average, outcomes for non-circuit branches can vary. Scholarships are not provided, but GATE-admitted students receive a monthly stipend, offering financial support throughout their studies.
