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 curriculum even covers humanities and language skills to make the students industry-ready. The exams are moderately hard and the evaluation is continuous.

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.
