NIT Surathkal Review

I got admission to NIT surathkal Karnataka in 2020, in computer science and engineering branch. The only way to get admission in NIT for indian student is , through JEE MAIN. The candidate should have 75% or above in class 12th. The candidate should have physics chemistry and maths in class 12th to be eligible to apply for JEE MAINS. The candidate can appear for the JEE MAIN just after passing class 12th and 2 consecutive years after class 12th, so a total of 3 chances will be for a student. The application form and all the related information can be found at the official site of the college. The application fee for the General and OBC Male candidates is RS. 650 , for general/obc female candidates is 325 and for SC,ST,PWD,transgender category is Rs. 325. In NIT'S 50% seats are reserved for the Home state candidates. (for Example in NIT allahabad 50% seats in each branch will be reserved for the candidates who passed class 12th from a school in UP).

I choose computer science and Engineering at NIT Karnataka, because this is the era of computer science, in this field, there are more job opportunities than in other branches and I was interested in computer science from childhood. There are around 16 professors and assistant professors in the CSE department at NITK, so there is a good student-to-faculty ratio. All the faculty are well experienced and qualified. Maximum faculty have good teaching methods except a few. At our NITK continuous evaluation (quiz, assignment, presentation) is done along with the mid-semester and end-semester examination. Some proffsors also took surprise quizzes. If someone is a bit attentive in class, or prepare seriously a few day before the exam, he would certainly score good marks.

The internship session starts in August. Many companies visit the NITK to select the intern, many companies give the internship stipend up to 80,000 to 100000. The companies hire interns for many roles based on their branches and company types.

Placement at NIT Karnataka is very good. Students become eligible for placement after 6th semester. This year (2022), placement rate for BTech student was approx 97%. About 450 companies visited the NITK. 214 student got the Pre placement offer from 57 companies. The highest Package this year was 45 LPA. My plan before getting the degree is to place in a very good company.

The Tuition fee per semester is Rs. 62,500. and the sum of all other fees like Hostel fee, Mess fee, Sports fee, Swimming Pool fee, security deposit (one time), all other miscellaneous fee is around 40,000 to 45,000. Alumni scholarship is given to the top 5 students based on the jee mains rank and family income. This scholarship gives all the fees of the student. Top 50 student gets merit cum means scholarship based on the jee mains rank and family income., this scholarship gives 2000 per month. I get this scholarship. And some students get merit scholarships. There are two banks in the college, educational loans are easily passed in college.

The two main fests of the nitk are INCIDENT and ENGINEER. INCIDENT is the cultural fest and ENGINEER is the tech fest. INCIDENT is the second-largest fest in south India. Engineer is conducted in the month of august and Incident is conducted in the month of March/April. There is a huge library At nitk and a Top class reading hall with AC rooms. Classrooms have good seats, a projector, and and boards. All the classrooms have fans. All the labs are equipped with AC. From time to time many sports tournaments are organized. There are two gyms. The new gym is full of modern machines. There are many social groups in NITK, people with the same interests can join and learn and enjoy. There are technical clubs at NITK like ACM, IEEE,ICE, IET, ISTE. And many non-technical club-like music, art, e-cell, etc.
