Metallurgy at NIT Surathkal is a very good branch as there is a rising requirement of materials science and engineering and their number of students taking admission in this branch is comparatively less than other branches like Civil, Mechanical or Electrical so you can expect less competition in this field.

The course is really good and it gives a strong base to the students for their higher studies which is quite important in this field.

Which is the best college among NIT (Trichy,Warangal,Suratkal) for any Maharashtrian or North Indian to live happily i.e without facing any dominance of vernacular dialect student?

You won’t face any kind of dominance or bias studying at either college. The students are friendly and unless you provoke the other party, no one’s going to interfere in your business or harass you. It’s good to make friends belonging to diverse cultures rather than limiting yourself to certain cultural boundaries.  Usually, IITs and NITs have very friendly seniors and peers and there isn’t ragging in any form.

Remember you are not here just to score a high grade or win medals. Rather, you are here to change your life and yourself and only learning from others' experiences will help you go a long way. So don’t worry and go for either NIT Trichy or NIT Warangal and make the most out of the available resources. Be empathetic and always think from a broader perspective. Only then can you attain new heights.

Do you enjoy your life at NIT Surathkal?

TA

One of my friends recently joined NIT Surathkal and shared her experiences of studying at this college. During the orientation, the SJA was filled with students, profs, deans, parents, seniors, and many others. Surprisingly this was followed by a veg together on the beach, and she knew right then that this wasn’t an ordinary college and she was going to have the best college life.

It’s true that the infrastructure, hostels, and mess food aren’t at par with other NITs but she realized that all these things were secondary. What mattered was the abundance of opportunities she was getting and not to forget the serene beach view. 

She along with her friends would leave for the classes at the last minute and mostly submit her assignments in time. She enjoyed a lot with her friends dancing and roaming around the campus or gossiping in the evenings sitting outside the sports complex. They would bunk the classes occasionally and play CS, and COD. She looked upon her seniors and faculties and respected them a lot. Overall, her life at NIT Surathkal was nothing like she expected before joining.

How is Chemical Engineering at NIT Surathkal?

SG
Shikha Ghosal Posted On : September 14th, 2023
Studied BTech in Computer Science, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2019)

The Chemical Engineering branch at NIT Surathkal isn’t well-known because of its obsolete curriculum and poor placement scenario. I hope you haven’t yet joined it but if you have known that there is no turning back. It’s better to start working hard to compensate for the poor branch than to sit and regret. 

It’s better to opt for Chemical in Trichy or Warangal. Otherwise, you can study hard in the 1st year and opt for a branch change. Even if you fail to get CSE/IT, even civil and mining will do. 

I have many friends who joined this department recently and all of them are regretting their decision big time. Some even call it the worst in the institution. So I will recommend you to go for Chemical in NIT Warangal instead.

I have a choice between IT (Information Technology) in NIT, Surathkal and CS (computer science) in RVCE, Bangalore. Which one would be a better choice in terms of placements, Brand name etc.?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

I would like to highlight a few points in favor of choosing IT at NIT Surathkal-

  1. IT and CSE have more or less the same curriculum.
  2. NITK offers excellent placements. This is especially true for circuital branches- CSE, IT, ECE and EEE. Top students from these branches are offered placements at brands like Google and Microsoft.
  3. NITK is a brand in itself. Since it is an NIT, it offers much more exposure and opportunities. 
  4. NITK admits JEE Mains toppers from all across the country. So it has a very rich crowd.
  5. As a Bangalorean, you can frequently visit home from NITK. 
  6. As a hosteller at NITK, you’ll learn important life skills. 

Thus, based on these factors, I would recommend you choose IT at NIT Surathkal over CS at RVCE Bangalore.
