How is the M.Tech placement in SVNIT?
SVNIT witnesses decent M.Tech placements. But for someone who wishes to work as a teacher, there are good options. This is because a large number of colleges and coaching institutes visit the campus for recruitment. The companies look for a certain specialization, in accordance with the job requirements.
Intel and Marvell Semiconductor visit the campus seeking VLSI, Communication systems and Computer Science students. They do not make direct recruitments. Instead, they hire students as interns and then later offer them PPOs.
Bombardier, Qualcomm and General Electric hire from M.Tech Electrical. L & T hires Civil and Mechanical students, and WSP hires Civil students. Akash institute, Base and WiFi visit for teaching recruitments.
M.Tech placements are average at even the IITs. I would recommend you look for off-campus placements as well.
How do you feel an Integrated MSc course from NIT Surat (SVNIT) is?
An integrated MSc. from SVNIT will be beneficial for your future as NITs are the second most revered engineering colleges in our country. Chasing one’s dream is a good idea, but one must also be aware of our future prospects. SVNIT is a good choice in terms of placements.
Some of my friends who graduated from SVNIT know of their batchmates who received job offers of around 30 LPA from foreign recruiters. Even Indian organizations pay SVNIT graduates handsomely, but the foreign offers are higher.
Ultimately, it is you who has to make the most of the available opportunities. Thus, I would recommend you join SVNIT for an integrated MSc.
Who are some notable alumni of SVNIT Surat?
SVNIT has been an alma mater to numerous achievers and well known personalities.
Here are two of the many notable persons who received their education from SVNIT-

How was your first day at NIT Surat? (SVNIT)?
A friend of mine studies there at NIT Surat, here’s a snippet from his first day at the institute.
- He was already familiar with the room as he visited the hostel on the day he went to the campus for admission. After setting up the room he contacted a senior to know what to do next.
- His senior advised him to buy a bicycle as it’s quite a walk from the hostel compound to the classroom complex.
- After a few hours, he went to the mess with his friends from school who also took admission at the institute and was staying in the hostel. Despite the reputation of mess food at any given educational institute, my friend vouches for the food at NIT Surat.
When they came back from the mess, the light was out. They spend their first night in the dark. The power cut continued till the next morning.
How was your first day at NIT Surat (SVNIT)?
I had a mixed experience on my first day at SVNIT.
As a fresher, I was allotted a hostel room in GAJJAR BHAVAN. I found a huge crowd of freshers arriving at the hostel entrance. I signed the muster and went inside my hostel room. I had already seen my room during physical reporting, so I was not disappointed at all. I set up my room with the help of my mother, after which, I approached a senior who advised me to get a bicycle because my hostel is quite far from the new CRC building. While I was returning from the bicycle shop, it started raining heavily.
I reached my hostel somehow, and upon finishing all the formalities, me and my parents went to the mess to have our lunch. Upon finishing my lunch, I bid farewell to my parents. This was when I realized that I was on my own. I somehow managed my emotions and consolidated my weeping mother.
After all that, I met a school friend who had fortunately gotten a room beside mine. We finished our dinner a few hours later, and went into my room. But there was a power cut soon after, and it lasted the next morning. I was a bit disappointed. My first night at the hostel was spent without a fan in the month of July.
Despite all the difficulties, it was a start to an amazing journey. This is why I’ll never forget my first day at SVNIT. Also, not to forget, the mess food is actually good at our college.
What should I choose between SVNIT CS or DAIICT?
My JEE Mains rank was good enough to get me a seat at SVNIT for B.Tech CSE. I finally decided to join ICT at DAIICT because-
- The faculty members have completed their Phds from renowned Indian and foreign universities, and each of them are actively engaged in some research work.
- The course curriculum is regularly updated, unlike the NITs that keep on teaching the old curriculum for long periods of time without regular updates.
- ICT is a combination of CSE and ECE. So its curriculum is very broad and rich. This is the reason why more companies prefer DAIICT over SVNIT.
- Only about 360 students are selected for the B.Tech program of DAIICT every year. This speaks volumes about the quality of students on campus.
- A good number of DAIICT students are selected for GSoC.
- The coding culture is at par with IIIT Hyderabad and top IITs. DAIICT students go on to become ACM ICPC finalists. The environment is perfect for competitive coding, and the students are doing really well on popular competitive coding platforms like Hackerrank.
- The clubs and societies of DAIICT are very active. There is an IEEE Student branch, with IAS (Industry Applications Society) chapter.
- There are special interest groups for machine learning, mobile apps, artificial intelligence, etc. There are technical clubs like Programming club, Google Developers Group, Microsoft Students Technical Club, Webkit, etc.
- Some of the non technical clubs are- the Debate club, the Press club, the Dance club, the Music club, and more.
- The SBG-Student Body Government is a mediator between the administration and the student community. The seniors of SBG are very friendly and helpful. They can be approached with any problem.
- Like SVNIT, the DAIICT campus is also ragging free and very safe for juniors.
I would recommend you opt for ICT at DAIICT Gandhinagar.
Which is the better option; doing computer engineering at SVNIT-Surat, Gujarat or b.tech in ict at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, Gujarat?
I am a resident of Surat, and SVNIT is very close to my house. During my college admissions, I was in the same dilemma. So I spent about a week at both the colleges to make a more informed choice.
One of the professors at SVNIT suggested that I opt for B.Tech ICT at DAIICT over Computer Engineering at SVNIT. He told me that DAIICT is a better option for computer related branches. Here are some pros of joining DAIICT as a B.Tech ICT student-
- The placements at DAIICT are comparatively better.
- Though the NITs have an established brand name, the reputation of DAIICT is better than SVNIT in top companies like Amazon, Morgan Stanley, MAQ, etc.
- It has a greater number of GSoC qualifiers, and a better environment for Open Source Coding.
- The environment is superior for competitive coding as well, and students participate in great numbers in online programming contests on platforms like codeforces, etc.
- A large number of students prepare for exams like GRE, CAT, etc.
Thus, a B.Tech ICT at DAIICT is better in comparison to Computer Engineering at SVNIT.
Which is the better option; doing computer engineering at SVNIT-Surat, Gujarat or b.tech in ict at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, Gujarat?
According to my friends at DAIICT, it is definitely a better choice among the two. Considering factors like placement, brand reputation, and coding culture.
The points below give a brief overview of some of the advantages of choosing DAIICT over SVNIT.
- According to some professors of SVNIT itself, DAIICT is a better institute for CSE and IT, compared to SVNIT.
- The overall placement statistics of DAIICT are far better than that in SVNIT, with more high-paying jobs offered in the institute.
- DAIICT doesn’t have as good a reputation as NITs in India. But, in companies like Amazon, MAQ, Morgan Stanley, etc, DAIICT has a far better reputation than SVNIT.
- There is an excellent open-source coding environment in DAIICT.
- The number of GSoC entries from both institutes makes it evident that DAIICT has much more success in open-source contribution.
