How good are the placements at NIT - Warangal/Surathkal/Trichy/Calicut/Rourkela? What are the average packages?
The placement scenario of NIT Warangal, Surathkal, and Trichy is somewhat the same with minor differences only. One of my friends studied at NIT Warangal and shed some light on the placement scenario there. Here is a branch-wise analysis
- CSE : The placements for the CSE branch are the best in NIT Warangal as well as Trichy and Surathkal. Students are placed in huge software giants like Microsoft, D.E.Shaw, Adobe, Directi, Tower Research Capital, Cisco, IBM, and some Investment Bankers like Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley, etc The average package of CSE recorded this year was INR 30.8 LPA for BTech while INR 30.43 LPA for MTech.

The average package for BTech students is INR 13 LPA and between 6-8 LPA for MTech students.
Overall, placements are similar in all the 3 NITs, NIT Warangal, Trichy, and Surathkal.
Out of NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal and NIT Warangal, which one is the best for a CSE?
The CSE from all three campuses is extremely sought after and has a high reputation in the job market. They are often compared to IITs. The choice between the two is therefore a matter of personal preferences.
Warangal gives a slight edge to Surathkal owing to its proximity to Hyderabad, the IT hub of India although the difference isn’t much noticeable. Surathkal has a slight advantage in terms of campus life and weather. It is the only college to have a private beach.
Ultimately, there aren’t any major differences between these colleges. If you want a better campus life go for Surathkal but if you want better academic opportunities go for NIT Warangal or NIT Trichy.
Is M.Tech life in NIT Surathkal good?
The campus life is great for both BTech and MTech students at NIT Surathkal. The campus is beautiful providing all necessary amenities. The frequent events and activities conducted on campus make life more vibrant here. The best part is that this is the only college with a private beach. You can always come here to release your stress. The campus always has a pleasant climate and also enjoys good connectivity. Mangalore and Udupi are reachable within an hour.
Placements for MTech are good, especially for branches like ECE and CSE. For other branches, the situation is not very good like any other. Additionally, there are many technocultural events for intellectual development. So choose wisely after considering all factors.
How many marks are required to get NIT Surathkal in JEE main?
The JEE Mains score required to get into NIT Surathkal depends on the branch you are seeking.
If you wish to study B.Tech CSE, you’ll require roughly between 200-220 marks as a general candidate. But if your aim is to simply get into NITK with any branch, aim for a 160+ score.
The campus of NIT Surathkal is really beautiful. The college has its own private beach and a top notch infrastructure. The campus is spread across roughly 300 acres, and it is one of the top engineering colleges in India.
I would recommend you work really hard and give your best shot to get into NIT Surathkal.
Which is better, VIT CS or NIT Surathkal CS?
Even though I am a CSE student at VIT Vellore, I would like to point out some weaknesses of my institution-
- The annual intake for all the branches, all four categories, is quite high at VIT Vellore. It is close to 5000 students each year. In the CSE branch alone, close to 1300 students are admitted annually (including Bioinformatics).
- Placements seem very high, but in reality, large scale mass recruitments by IT firms like Cognizant, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Accenture, etc. inflate the placement figures.
- The course fee at VIT is comparatively higher. It is around 1.95 Lakhs per year. This too if you are a category 1 (merit) student. Around 1 Lakh per year is added if you belong to the other three categories.
- Advanced Placement Training sessions have been introduced for students. But these sessions aren’t really helpful in practicality. In fact 6 hours of each weekend is spent in these sessions.
- Those with a good CGPA get good hostel rooms in good blocks. Those who fail to score high grades are given older blocks.
- The hostel rules are strict. This is especially true when you have to get a leave sanctioned from your faculty advisor or proctor.
NIT Surathkal, on the other hand, is a government college. It has an intake of around 800 students in all the branches, with 120 students in CSE. The institution offers top notch placements. There are no mass hirings. The course fee falls between 1.38 to 1.57 Lakhs per year. College rules are much more flexible.
Thus, based on these observations, I would suggest you take admissions in NIT Surathkal for your CSE program.
I got ECE at RVCE Bangalore. Now I can get ECE branch at NIT Surathkal. Which is the better option?
One of my friends is currently pursuing her final year Btech in ECE in NIT Surathkal and shared a few key points
- Placements: The placement scenario for the ECE branch of both NIT Surathkal and RVCE is somewhat similar. Most companies like TI and Samsung visit both the colleges and offer similar packages. However, NIT students face intense competition due to relative grading so grabbing good packages is more challenging than at RVCE.
- Brand : It cannot be denied that the NIT tag adds a lot of value to your resume and opens multiple doors of opportunities.
- Faculty : The ECE department of NITK has one of the best faculties in comparison to any other departments. Most of them are highly experienced and you can do many projects under them. The course curriculum is also revised frequently.
- Opportunities : RVCE is located in Bangalore and thus offers better off-campus opportunities than NIT Surathkal.
Ultimately, both colleges are equally good in their own way. It’s up to you to choose the right one for you!
