    Nitk college review

    College Infrastructure

    Could be better. Hostels are old. Cleanliness could be improved. People are nice. Staff is decent. They try to do their best but they struggle to accomplish the same. No hot water. Lot of bee hives and I've been bit multiple times. Food is nice.

    Academics

    I studied electrical and electronics engineering. The teachers are very good. Professor Prajof is very educated and dedicated to teaching. They have updated curriculum to include machine learning and artificial intelligence.

    Placements

    2024 was a bad year for placements based on previous average. Good companies still showed up but a lot of the companies didn't show up. Placement percentage in my class was 80 percent. Highest salary went to electrical and electronics engineering.

    Value for Money

    Good value for money. I'm happy with the overall experience of my college life. I've been placed in a good company so I'm happy. The course cost me about 2 lakh per year. And the teachers were good enough.

    Campus Life

    Campus life was good. I made very good friends and there were lot of events conducted regularly. They had both academic and extra curricular activities. We had super fun in all the events. We even had a beach, so no real complaints.

    The course is divided into six trimesters , with three trimesters in each year . The evaluation is based on two components : 50 marks for internal components comprising assignments and presentations , and 50 marks for the end of the semester exam .

    Academics

    The faculty members are very supportive and understanding . They try their best to make the learning process easy and fun with real life examples . The syllabus is relevant , but a little modification will be better .

    Placements

    The placements for b tech are decent . For the previous batch , the highest package was 13 lakhs per annum , the average was 7 lakhs per annum , and the lowest package offered was 4 lakhs per annum .

    College Infrastructure

    The EEE department is located on the western side of the campus which is on the other side of NH 66. We have a 24*7 WiFi facility. But the Wi-Fi in the hostels is a bit lower in speed. There are two libraries including a central library and a digital library which are quite good. There is a canteen inside the campus named the food court. There is also a health care facility next to the ground.

    Academics

    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.

    Placements

    About 98 percent of the students got placed from our course, with average salaries ranging from 8 LPA to 34 LPA. Big companies like Texas Instruments, Nvidia, ARM, and Samsung Semiconductor India to name a few are the top recruiting companies for our course. About 30 percent including M. Teach students secured internship in these companies. Most of them were hire as Hardware or Digital Design Engineers.

    Others

    Superb college.

    You can't expect much more than what it is. The hostels are okay shape, classrooms and are big enough and have sufficient ventilation. College Library is a pretty conducive place for studies and other professional work. Don't expect lightning WiFi everywhere on campus. Same for Mobil Data coverage. LAN cables become your lifelines then. Oh and mess food, well it's sub-par but if you can manage with what they have it's just fine. You'll get by so don't worry too much.. Moreover, they have decent facilities for sports, music and other recreational activities so no complaints there though. But what it does lack is ACs in most places (apart from Library and a few labs) given Mangaluru's humid weather in recent years. Also, our swimming pool has been closed for at least the past 2 years if not more, so that needs to change real soon.

    Academics

    Most professors are really good and supportive. I have has the pleasure of learning from a few of them. Real cool people. But there exist a few which really need to either up their game or be slightly more considerate towards the students. The syllabus, atleast for EEE and the first year subjects needs to be slightly more updated I feel but again this needs time. If you do attend classes regularly, listen to the professors and are consistent enough scoring a good CGPA is not difficult at all.

    Placements

    So this year the Placements have taken a major hit due to recession, pandemic recovery, and a mix of other reasons. In fact, CSE, IT and other circuital branches (till EEE) were also struggling quite a bit but core still endured enough to place most students. A good mix of companies like Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Analog Devices and other come for Electronics. Microsoft, JP Morgan, Accenture, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Walmart, Accenture, Goldman Sachs are regular visitors for SDEs. Caterpillar, Reliance, BPCL, Ola Electric, TATA, GE, Bajaj, L&T, ExxonMobil and several different PSUs comd for Core recruitments. Deloitte, PwC, ICICI, Thorogood, ZS are all pretty cool recruiters for business roles. And lastly, Wells Fargo, Sprinklr, and host of other startups come for varied roles.

    Value for Money

    Yep, there is definitely value when you wrap up a BTech degree in about 10 Lakhs and score CTCs of about 15-20 LPA at minimum. Plus the investment in the NIT brand value definitely pays off as many go into MS and MBA degrees at reputed unis abroad too.

    Campus Life

    Probably the best part of NITK. Fests are huge thing in college. You can find a college club for anything you want to explore or pursue parallel to studies. Really supportive seniors and batchmates. They ensure you are the best version of you.

    NITK has all the necessary infrastructure. Mainly the labs are very well equipped and classrooms are well maintained . All the classrooms contain a projector, wifi, and a good seating arrangements . Well coming to the hostel , this is an old government college .So u can expect the hostel to be old but they are well maintained and the food is fine

    Academics

    I am currently studying Btech EEE .Tbh, I didn't have any other choice , so I chose EEE . However, due to the teaching, I have started to develop an interest in the subject . The curriculum is well updated and it's very helpful in making us job-ready. The curriculum is made such that it covers all your basics and teaches u an advanced level .

    Placements

    The placements are quite good in our college.We have good placement coordinators who take care of placements and invites the good companies .I don't exactly know the percentage of placements and all ,but I rest assure that NITK has the best placements in Karnataka

    Value for Money

    I come under the general category , so for each sem, it costs around 1-1.5lakh . The hostel and mess fee is 30k for a sem and the tuition fee is 70k .Tbh I don't think it was worth it,the tuition fee could have been a little less

    Campus Life

    The campus is one of the best . The main attractive thing is the beach . No other college has a private beach . The sports ground is also pretty good and there is a SAC(student activity center) which is good . The students here are pretty hardworking and competitive The location is very safe and in case of emergencies there is hospital inside the campus and there are manny hospital near the college

    Others

    The college gives u a lot of opportunities, just try to utilize it and do well . You will meet some amazing ppl just to enjoy .

    The overall wise NITK as a college has the best experience

    College Infrastructure

    Placements

    Placements are good, especially for the Circuital branches. Companies like Nvidia, AMD, INTEL, texas instruments, Qualcomm and edgeQ come for core companies for EEE and ECE department. Mech other branches also have very good placements

    Value for Money

    For the general category people the fees may look a bit high as many of the general category people won't get scholarships except merit cum merit and merit scholarships from the college for other people it may be good

    Campus Life

    Our college has all the basic infrastructure covered. Most of the buildings are old and outdated but it fulfills students' requirements. Recently construction of new and modern building for departments and lecture halls are taking place which is the way towards better infrastructure. Other non-academic blocks as like sports complex and other sports ammunities are also recently built and well maintained.

    Academics

    Academics at NITK Surathkal is highly rated because of quality of professors they have. The student to professor raito is also pretty ideal, however it varies from department to department. The department of electrical and electronics engineering inwhich I study has good number of highly skill led professors who strive towards our academic success

    Placements

    One more aspect where NITK SURATHKAL beats other colleges of this region is interns of placements. Most of the students who sit for placement during placement season tend to get placed, getting a decent package. However, this year, due to recession placements seems to be a bit low. But it is expected to be better in the coming years!

    Have a question related to NIT Surathkal (NITK) ?

    Iam a dropper student who has scored 98+%ile in jee mains ...If i wish to join NITK through home state quota in lower branch and reppearfor jee mains 2026, can i get admission into same NITK in better branch if my score is good enough? I've asked this because some NITians say you cant join same NIT

    Yes, it is possible to gain admission to the same NITK in a better branch if you score well on JEE Main 2026, even if you have previously been admitted to the same NITK through a lower branch via home state quota. Your past admission does not preclude you from reapplying and securing a better branch if your JEE Main 2026 score is competitive.

    Explanation:

    JEE Main's Admission Process:

    JEE Main is a national-level engineering entrance exam used for admission to NITs and other participating institutions.

    Home State Quota:

    Home state quota allows students to get preferential admission in NITs based on their state of origin.

    No Restriction on Re-admission:

    While a student might have been admitted to a specific branch and NIT initially, there is no rule preventing them from reapplying for the same NIT and potentially securing a better branch based on their performance in a subsequent JEE Main exam.

    Score-Based Admission:

    Admission to NITs is primarily determined by your JEE Main score and your overall rank compared to other candidates.

    Higher Score, Better Branch:

    A higher JEE Main score will increase your chances of getting into your preferred branch, even within the same NITK.

    Considerations:

    Rank: Even with home state quota, the overall rank and category-wise cutoffs within NITK play a crucial role in determining which branch you are offered.

    Branch Preferences: During the counselling process, you will have the opportunity to express your branch preferences, and the higher your score, the better your chances of getting your top choices.

    Cutoffs: Understand the cutoffs for different branches and categories in NITK for previous years to get a better understanding of the competition.

    In summary: You can absolutely try for a better branch at NITK by taking JEE Main 2026. Your current admission does not prevent you from reapplying and getting a better branch based on your score.

    so an sc PWD category student is getting 89.1226810 percentile will he get nit surathkal cse branch ir which nit will he get? so for nit surathkal cse branch what will be the best percentile for sc PWD category student

    With a percentile of 89.12 in the SC-PwD category , your estimated category rank may not be sufficient for CSE at NIT Surathkal , where the closing SC-PwD rank is usually around 100–120 .

    To improve your chances for CSE at Surathkal , a percentile above 98 is generally safer. PWD category student (https://gurus.rediff.com/question/qdtl/career/admission-nit-89-1226810-percentile-jee-mains-2025-sc-pwd/5194967)

    However, you may get CSE or related branches in other NITs where the cutoffs are relatively higher. It's best to apply to multiple NITs through JoSAA counselling and list preferences wisely.

    With 99.05 percentile in JEE mains any chance to get CS, EC in NIT Surathkal considering Home State and female quota for General?

    With a 99.05 percentile in JEE Mains, as a female candidate from the Home State (Karnataka) in the General category, you have a competitive chance of securing admission to Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at NIT Surathkal.

    However, for Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) , admission may be more challenging.

    It's important to note that while the Home State quota and female reservation can improve your admission prospects, the final outcome depends on the number of applicants and seat availability in the current admission cycle.
