Hello Aspirant,

NIT Calicut ranks 23 by NIRF while NIT Surathkal has NIRF rank of 13 which makes it better than NIT Calicut and other NITs.

Talking about faculties, NIT Surathkal has more better faculty where most of them are from thermal backgrounds.

Placements are satisfactory in both the NITs but for the deeper higher knowledge NIT Surathkal is far better.

Infrastructure is good in both the NITs.

Taking these factors into consideration, I will suggest you to go for NIT Surathkal Thermal Engineering course.

All the best!!
