Surat

First things first, SVNIT is the best located NIT amongst the other NITs. It is located in the most premium part of Surat. Surat as a city is awesome. Really missing Surat, anyways the first year experience will be…how to put it…new. Do not think about how to get a job. Get a good grip of your engineering branch, that will do wonders for you.SVNIT has good sporting facilities. If you are passionate about tennis or badminton, you are in for a treat. World class badminton and tennis courts await you but their maintenance is altogether another issue by itself.The new found freedom can be hard to handle, so indulge yourself in myriad activities. Meetyourseniors and maintain dignified relations with them. Enjoy the peacocks frolicking in the campus.You can feel homesick like many others do. Talk to your friends. Form an amazing friend circle. You will surely stick to them till and beyond your stay at SVNIT. If you turn out to be as lucky as I was yo u can befriend some amazing Afghans. I was lucky to have made good friends.And do not take to smoking or drinking. It is only logical as it destroys your innards. Handle peer pressure with an iron fist. A No means a No. It is not cool to harm your internal organs.It is going to be an amazing ride. Be proud of SVNIT. I had some friends who were always crying and lamenting about the negatives. Don't be one of them. You worked hard and got SVNIT. Cherish all the moments.

That was an interesting question, as the condition of the hostel provided by IIIT Surat at SUV International School on lease is disappointing. Most of our students are on their way to hunt PGs. Finding PGs and Rented flats are difficult task in Surat especially for Bachelors, because most landlords in Surat provide room to families. They might even ask 3 times the rent to allow us for living in their flat. Otherwise, we are currently residing in Radhe Krishna Apartment located in Kamrej, a 10-15 min drive to IIIT Surat. There are few PGs but almost all are occupied, like Dada Bhagwan Complex. If you want to stay in PG, you have to find one in the middle of the city like Varracha, VIP Circle, Sarthana etc. where I lived previously, it's a 35 - 45 min drive if commute using the city bus.
