BITS Hyderabad is a private college. On the other hand, NIT Surathkal is a government college. So it won’t be correct to compare the two. Both have their own pros and cons.
I am listing below the strengths of each-
Both the colleges are well-renowned. You can choose either of them for your higher studies, based on your personal preferences.
As a female student at NIT Surathkal, I can tell you about my experience at my own college.
I belong to North India, which is why the first few months were spent in homesickness. Your Bangalorean friends will grab every opportunity to visit their home every other weekend. You, on the other hand, would get to visit home once, during Dussehra for a week or so. But as time passes, the weather problem and homesickness will slowly subside.The campus organizes plenty of events all the time, so you won’t feel bored at all. Also, you’ll get to explore Mangalore and Manipal.
The girls’ mess food is pretty decent. Earlier, it’s difficult to adjust to hostel food, but you’ll adapt quickly. The girls’ mess serves dal and rice every afternoon and night. The dal is pretty decent. Even the dosas and idlis served during breakfast are pretty decent. Buttermilk is served every afternoon, and a cup of curd is served at night. Bread-jam-butter is available for breakfast. In the evening, snacks are served with tea/coffee/milk. The tea tastes pretty good.
Thrice a week, ice cream is served, and sweets are served once a week. Paneer is served twice a week. Veg Biryani is served in Sunday dinners. Each month, a grand dinner is organized with extra items on the menu like soup, salad, cornetto and sweets.
The hostel life at NIT Surathkal is pretty decent for girls. The hostel timings are lenient. First year girls need to be back by 8:30 pm. From 2nd year onwards, girls need to be back by 10 pm. NIT Surathkal also has a private beach of its own.
I don’t know about NIT Warangal or NIT Allahabad, but the college life of girl students is overall good at NIT Surathkal.
For EE/EEE, out of NIT Surathkal, NITW, NIT Trichy, MANIT Bhopal, MNNIT Allahabad, NIT Calicut, and MNIT Jaipur, I would suggest three institutes in the following order of preference-
My best friend is studying EEE at NITK and he is quite happy with the department. The teachers in the department are a bit strict. But if you bring up a good project idea and stay attentive in their class, you’ll be in a good position. Also, scoring good grades can be a bit tough, but with hardwork and good preparation, you will surely ace your exams.
In terms of EEE placements, NITK, NIT Trichy, and NITW are all equally good options.
As a NITK student, you will get certain benefits. These are-
Thus, out of NIT Calicut, NITK, NITW, and all the other options listed by you, I would suggest you to choose NITK Surathkal for your EEE.

Overall, the best option for you is IIIT Delhi considering the above aspects.
My friend studies in NIT Surathkal and the 295-acre campus is exquisite. My friend resides in the hostel there and he has shared his experience with me.
To begin with, there are 5 girls’ hostel blocks named as follows- GH1, GH2, GH3, GH4, and GH5. The recent addition to the already existing 4 blocks, is the GH5, and it is the best one of the lot but is available to only some final year students after qualifying for the lucky draw.
Here are some more particulars:
All these hostels have WiFi or LAN available, but the connectivity is good only in the newly constructed GH5.
