The life of NITK Surathkal.
Placements: 93.7% of students were placed in the 2024 batch of the mechanical engineering course. The highest was 38LPA and 14LPA was the average package. Top company was Bosch. Top roles were in the manufacturing industry and designing jobs. 97% of students got internships from my course.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available everywhere on the campus. Classrooms are very big. There are 2 libraries with fully air-conditioned rooms and a huge number of books. The food in the hostel is average. The non-veg mess is good, but the veg mess is not so good. The sports complex is very big and it has all types of games.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and qualified. They are qualified from top NITs and IITs and are very much knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant. Yes, the students are made industry-ready. It is very difficult to pass in the semester exams as it is, but it will be very tough.

One of my best choosen in life.
Placements: The average salary package for mechanical engineering offered was 13 LPA. Around 88% of the students whofor the placement exams from my branch got placed. The highest packageffe was 35 LPA, whereas the lowest salary package offered was 3 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Ford Motors, Texas Instruments, Bajaj Auto, Amazon, and Flipkart. The top internship recruiters were AT&S India, AbInbev, and Aequs Group. Top role offered is Project Manager.
Infrastructure: NITK Surathkal has excellent infrastructure and facilities. The labs in the mechanical department are up-to-date and technologically advanced. Wi-Fi is available in every corner of the department. Classrooms are equipped with projectors and blackboards. The department even has a 3D printer. There are two libraries, one where digital books are available and one where normal books are available. Both the libraries are equipped with centralised air conditioning and are open till 12:00 Pm. For the second year, the hostel is Shivalik. It is a modern, sleek building equipped with the best technologies. Rooms are clean and well-painted. Washrooms are neat and cleaned regularly. The quality of food available in the mess is excellent. Canteens are also good. There is a 24/7 healthcare center available inside the campus. There are around five major canteens and a few cafes inside the campus. The sports facilities available are one of the best in India. We have a big sports complex equipped with the best equipment for each sport.
Faculty: Teachers are all high achieving in their respective fields with PhD from some of the best institutes like IITs. They have good teaching abilities and are approachable in terms of both academic as well as co-curricular activities. The course is relevant in the industry sense. It teaches the necessary skills that a mechanical engineer needs to have to prosper, such as the required software and hardware usage skills. The curriculum even covers humanities and language skills to make the students industry-ready. The exams are moderately hard and the evaluation is continuous. The pass percentage is around 90% of the students.
Other: I was very much interested in mechanical engineering and NITK Surathkal was my best option in terms of my JEE Main rank. The best thing about the course is how well-crafted it is. Every subject being taught is relevant in the industry sense. One thing I would improve about the course is to provide more labs for specific applications like automobiles and similar. The annual cultural fest, Incident, is one of India's biggest. It welcomes a huge footfall every year and has a variety of events for students to participate in and watch.

Do you think your JEE Preparations are worth National Institute of Technology, Suratkal (Karnataka)?
Placements: Around 70% of the students get placed in NitK from Mechanical Engineering. The highest package is 10LPA without the Minor. On taking minor courses the average package will increase. The average package is around 7LPA and the lowest is 5LPA. One of the top recruiting company is Tata Mahindra. Many students get internship opportunities and avail Pre Placement Offers before reaching the final year. The minimum requirement for sitting in campus placement interviews is 7 CGPA.
Infrastructure: Before answering this question, let me tell you that I have visited NIT Calicut and my answers will be based on their comparison. The infrastructure and buildings like CIDS and CRF are top modern buildings in NitK. We have a Central Library and a Digital Library. The construction for a new Library is going on and we can soon expect them. The hostels are average. The mess food is okayish. Every hostel has appointed GMC and MC for representing the hostelite and their mess food. So, make sure you voted for them wisely. We have 3-4 Gyms with the latest equipments. Many Sports tournaments are conducted through out the year, both inside and outside the campus. We have a Health Care Centre opposite the main ground. We get prescriptions from there and we also have a pharmacy inside the Health Care Centre.
Faculty: Even though the Teachers are highly qualified, we have to rely mainly on self study. The course curriculum is advanced and makes the students knowledgeable. There are many Clubs which will help you gain world life experiences. There are clubs for everyone taste and passion.
Other: There are many club activities where you can come out of your comfort zones and try something new. There are mainly two massive events which happen all year round. A technical fest which is called Engineer and a Cultural fest called Incident. Every year, for many club activities, the alumni visit the college. You get to connect with people from a wide variety of cultures, backgrounds and mindset.

Overall, it’s good, but the NIRF ranking is decreasing year by year.
Placements: The placement rate for 2024 at NITK is excellent. In 2024, 87.22% of students were placed overall. The highest placement rate was for B.Tech at 93%, while the average placement rate for M.Tech was 83%. The highest package was 55 LPA, and the average package for all departments was 16.25 LPA. The top companies for recruitment are Google, Microsoft, Intel, etc.
Infrastructure: Facilities like Wi-Fi and labs are available, although the lab syllabus has remained the same for 50 years. The classrooms resemble old high school rooms. The libraries are the best aspect here, while the mess food is average. The night canteens are okay, but you may need to wait for a longer time. Medical facilities are good, but sports facilities are below average; the swimming pool has been under construction for the past three years.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful but not very supportive. They are highly qualified, but most of them don’t know how to teach, so you will need to study by yourself most of the time. They complete the 6-month semester in 3 months, so be careful. The curriculum in the core subjects is only about 40-50% relevant to current changes in technology.
Other: Incidents and engineering fests are organized.

Truth, not based.
Placements: Placements are fine. Better than most NITs (except Trichy) and new IITs. If you have skills, you will get ample opportunities. Still not comparable to old IITs for core branches. Almost every company allows students from all branches. Companies like Oracle and Wells Fargo recruit from lower branches too.
Infrastructure: Poor hostel facilities. Shortage of water supply is very common. Every hostel facility problem will be solved after a week or so. And there will be some problem going on related to water, electricity, etc. Living conditions are really poor and I really don't want to talk about the mess. Once we got a mental part of a cooking vessel in our food and a bug.
Faculty: Some teachers are really great and some will really make your life *** and I guess it's the same in every college so it doesn't matter. The curriculum is good, and examinations are conducted in an organized manner as well as results are declared efficiently on time.
