IIIT Bangalore iMtech in CSE or NIT Surathkal BTech in CSE, what should I choose?
NIT Surathkal B.Tech in CSE is definitely a better choice because it's one of the oldest institutes with a rich legacy. The department has lots of establishments in academics as well as industry. There are several well-established student activity bodies and an elaborate alumni base with a coding background.
I am strongly against you joining an integrated program at the bachelor's level because you first need to know the exact domain you are interested in. If you realize that you have taken the wrong branch then spending 5 years will become very difficult. BTech gives you enough time and opportunities to analyze what your interests are you can not decide, after 3-4 semesters, you will be able to judge yourself overall. Also, a B.Tech in CSE from NIT Karnataka with a good GRE score may help you get admission offers of MS abroad.
So go for NIT Surathkal BTech in CSE without any second thoughts.
What is it like to be in ECE branch at NIT Warangal/ Surathkal/Calicut? How is the campus life and placements (companies visiting, kind of jobs, average packages)?
I have a friend who studies in the ECE branch at NIT Warangal. I will break down his overall experience into simpler aspects
Academics: The curriculum and academic life at NIT Warangal for ECE students is a bit more challenging than others. Some semesters have too many courses and it’s difficult to get free time. The grades are given a lot of importance and students face tough competition. Also, the faculty is not very approachable.
- Campus life: The campus life of students of all branches is similar. Equal opportunities and facilities are offered and students experience a productive ambiance where they can work on their passions.
- Hostels : The hostel facilities are top-notch and both old and new hostels are available. Students get a home-like feel in these cozy buildings and make friends for life.
- Mess food: Mess food is better than food served in intermediate hostels. However, students can opt for eating out if the food in the mess is unsatisfactory. The eateries outside serve decent food at low prices.
- Sports : The sports culture here is not very prominent and you won’t be forced to be involved in any such activities.
- Extracurricular : A number of clubs promote extracurriculars with ECEA being the most active association.
- Peer group: Your batchmates will be the most hardworking and smartest people in the institute so peer group quality should be the last thing to worry about.
- Placements : Both core and non-core placement opportunities are offered to ECE students. Here are the detailed stats for the same

Whose IT is best, IIIT Allahabad, Motilal Nehru NIT (MNNIT), or NIT Surathkal?
All the aforementioned institutes are well known for their IT programs. However, in terms of course structure and academic ambiance, one should give preference to IIIT Allahabad over MNNIT and NITK. This is because the institute mainly focuses on CS education and its curriculum is also CS tailored. However, in terms of placements, IIIT Allahabad and MNNIT are almost at the same level followed by NIT Surathkal.

Is NIT Surathkal IT good?
My brother has graduated from NIT Surathkal in 2018 and completed his BTech in Information Technology. According to his experience, the department had helpful and brilliant students, although the faculty was a mixture of average and good professors. The CSE and IT departments are the most sought after and have an average placement rate of 90%-100%, so here are some more facts regarding the same-
- The faculty is not that good due to two factors, firstly because it is not as dedicated to research as are those in IITs. For instance, IIT Bombay is excellent in research initiatives.
- Secondly, the department requires 15-20 full-time faculty members, but currently, there are about 10-12 assistant professors on an ad-hoc basis, some of them do not even possess a Ph.D.
- Lastly, the teachers are not very adept at communicating better. Some seniors had been much more helpful in the understanding of concepts by students.
- However, the department is free of petty politics unlike the CSE department, where there's a bit of tiff between the teachers and students.

The good point about the IT Department is that it has an excellent placement rate only second to CSE. Scoring good marks also is not an issue if you're able to rote learn for subjects like Data Structures, also if it could be taught using Introduction to Algorithms, then it'll be easy for students.
What are the interns offered at NIT Surathkal? What are the chances for them to convert into a full-time job?
These are the various companies that hire CSE/IT students as interns from NIT Surathkal and the stipend they provide per month-
Sprinklr: 2 Lakhs, Uber: 1.6 Lakhs, D E Shaw: 1.5 Lakhs, J P Morgan: 1 Lakh, Google: 1 Lakh, Arcesium: 1 Lakh, Goldman Sachs: 1 Lakh, Morgan Stanley: 80k, Microsoft: 80k, Walmart Labs: 80k, Credit Suisse: 80k, Cisco: 70k, Intuit: 60k to 1 Lakh, Samsung: 50k to 70k, Oracle: 50k, Flipkart: 50k, Myntra: 50k, Nvidia: 50k, SAP Labs: 45k, Amazon: 45k, Qualcomm: 40k, Adobe: 40k. Companies visit with internship offers in a random order. But those that offer 1 Lakh+ per month, visit the campus within the first two days of internship drive.
PPOs vary according to the brand. Companies like JP Morgan, CISCO and Morgan Stanley pay a good stipend, but their base salary goes to around 12 LPA.
Flipkart on the other hand, offers comparatively low stipend but their base salary is around 16 LPA. The chances of getting a PPO are circumstantial. Companies like Uber, Sprinklr and D E Shaw are very selective in offering PPOs. Google conducts a few interviews before offering PPOs to its interns. Completing your tasks on time, and maintaining a good rapport with your manager somewhat ensures that you get a PPO at your company.
I have mentioned the internship details for the CSE/IT branch. You can consult a few seniors to know the details for other branches.
Which should I opt for between NIT Surathkal IT and IIT Roorkee chemical?
You must choose between the two based on your future plans and personal preference-
- Interest- If you are interested in programming, choose NIT Surathkal IT without second thought.
- Campus Life- Both the colleges have a great campus life. But NIT Surathkal is better in this regard. NITK is located near Bangalore, and B.Tech IT is a great choice for this location.
- Recognition and Prestige- IIT Roorkee enjoys greater prestige and recognition. It is the dream college of JEE aspirants.
- Future Prospects- For higher studies or research, you should choose IIT Roorkee. You can also expect a branch change at IIT Roorkee, but don’t completely depend upon it. This is because a branch change will be quite difficult, and things may not work out in your favor. You can also study coding alongside your Chemical Engineering degree. If you do so, you can land a good IT job during campus placements.
NIT Surathkal offers good placements in the IT sector. It is a fact that the IT industry is prospering tremendously in India at present.
You can choose your branch/college on the basis of this information. I would have personally chosen NIT Surathkal IT because of the location and career prospects.
What is the best branch in NIT Surathkal?
If we only consider placements, then CSE is the best branch in NIT Surathkal. This branch has a great placement record. NIT Surathkal CSE average package stays around INR 15-16 LPA.
If you want to join Govt sectors, Mechanical, Civil or Electrical are comparably better. You need to prepare for IES, for these jobs. Chemical Engineering is a good option if you want to join PSUs. In private sector, Chemical Engineering has limited scope.
Which one should I choose for M.Tech: NIT, Trichy, NIT, Warangal, NIT, Suratkal, NIT, Allahabad or Delhi College of Engineering in thermal/design?
All NITs are well-reputed institutes that ensure quality education in India. Let us look into the features of NITs in detail.
Daily Life – All the NITs follow the same system, and there is no significant difference between them. The classes begin at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m., with a one-hour break in the afternoon. Like other colleges, regular classes are conducted five days a week, and on the weekends, students can take part in extracurricular activities. They also provide decent hostel facilities for the students
Ragging – It is strictly prohibited in all the NITs. Instead, there are state-wise groups of students that give students a chance to interact with the seniors.
Food – NIT Trichy is more into south Indian dishes, while other NITs have both south Indian and North Indian food.
Faculty and Placement – NITs have well-qualified scholars and guarantee 100% placement to the students, irrespective of the branches.
So, you can select any of the NITs based on your preference
How good is the MCA course at NIT, Surathkal?
The MCA program at NIT Surathkal is decent but I feel NIT Allahabad will offer a better course and opportunity. This is because, at MNIT Allahabad, most companies allow MCA students to sit for placements with CSE and IT students. One of my distant cousins pursuing an MCA from MNNIT Allahabad cleared Google Mt.View. Moreover, CSE, IT, and MCA share a common department here and the computer Club classes are also held for all CSE, IT, and MCA combined.
Whereas In NIT Surathkal, the MCA program is inclined more toward Application Development and thereby focuses more on the latest programming language and tools to develop better and faster applications. Its primary aim is to provide a modern, industry-oriented education in applied computer science.
In my opinion, you should choose MNNIT Allahabad for MCA as it has better placement opportunities.
