Turning Students into a Royal Officers at NITK.

My AIR Rank was 8849 and my Category Rank was 1649. I got this seat at NITK allotted under OBC Category. As of the present competition of 2023, if you get a rank around OBC - 2800 you can have a chance to get a seat at NITK Mechanical Engineering. for OBC-NCL Candidates there is a tuition fee waiver of 2/3rd. The Admission Process at NITK is very smooth. There is a student lead club Named ' Task Force - NITK ' which helps students throughout their admission process. This is a student lead club and coordinates smoothly between the student and the administration to smooth onboarding. Also, there is an IRIS portal made by students in collaboration with the NITK Administration which makes the process neatly monitored. There is no need to worry about admission. The process is smooth and if there is any mistake you have done, it can be rectified in time. There is no improvement required to be seen in the admission process. Everything is online and easy to do.

I have chosen Mechanical Engineering Course at NITK. The faculty-student ratio is 12:1. I have chosen this course at NITK as this was the subject I was interested in and Mechanical Engineering at NITK is decent among all other NIT's and few IITs too. All the Faculty are Ph.D. holders from reputed Institutions and Their Teaching method is decent. The NITK curriculum provides you an opportunity to take MINORS in other depts. also. You can also opt for honors in the same dept. The Question Papers, Assignments, and Projects are the best to gain in-depth knowledge about the subject. The laboratories are also well maintained to get practical exposure to the course content. For every subject, you will have 2-3 Quiz (each of 10-15 % Weightage), 1 Midsem Exam (25-30%), and End Sem Exam (50-60%) and few courses have mini projects or assignments or both with a weightage of 10-15%. This makes up the entire evaluation plan of NITK Mech. Dept.
