NIT Surat(SVNIT) - Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology

The college has some negative aspects which are affecting the ranking of the college in a bad way. These include delayed promotions and salary payment to professors which causes regular strikes in college done by professors. Also there is a lot of scam around the funding of college fest in which higher authorities of college give less money for organising the fest than they get from the central government. Postive aspects- The college have lush green and well maintained campus which is ideal for students. Also the location of college is at the heart of Surat city which is very convenient for students.

Placement wise, the college have companies like Amazon and D shaw coming for placements every year so the average package is good considering the BTech division. The college provides internships to students in summers under professors which is on a selection basis.

There are technical events happening in the college throughout the year. There are several prominent clubs like ACM, Drishti(robotics club) and many other which are helpful to students in technical exposure. Cultural events also go along with technical events for most part of the year. This comes under CHRD which is a committee of groups like music club, dance club, theatre club etc. College fest is held once a year mostly in the month of February and it is considered to be the biggest college fest in Surat and nearby cities. Fest includes celebrity night in which prominent singers and musicians from bollywood come to perform. Some famous names who have performed in the fest are Vishal-Shekhar, Neha Kakkar, Sachin-Jigar and many more.

Fee structure is feasible which is approximately 10 lakh four BTech course of four years. Tuition fee full waiver are given to SC/ST student so they just have to pay ten thousand only for four years. The hostel fee is applicable to all who wants to take hostel accommodation and it is 45000 per year (mess fee included).

Very few scholarships are provided in the college. There is a scholarship for SC/ST students and one scholarship for branch toppers in BTech. Here the college has a setback and college can do something better on this aspect to make the students’s life easy.

The extracurricular activities are great in the college. Latest Labs with new equipment are a boon for students of all departments. The sports ground is also very good and large where different sports like kabaddi, kho-kho, football, cricket and many more are played. There is a Gym near the sports ground which is considered one of the best gym among all the NITs. Two basketball courts, one tennis court, one badminton court are also situated in the campus and are well maintained. Also each hostel has volleyball nets for students to play. Overall there is a whole lot of extracurricular activities for students.

The hostels have all the facilities in them such as laundry, canteen, TV room, table tennis etc. Also the bathrooms are well maintained and mess food is also sometimes good. Overall the hostels are great.

Senior students are very helpful in all aspects whether it is academic related help or any social help. Alumni network is not so strong. Only a few alumni are coming regularly to alumni meets which is needed to be improved.

Since the college is a NIT (national institute of technology) so there is an entrance exam named JEE Mains which is needed to be cleared to be eligible for taking admissions in NIT’s. After getting selected in JEE Mains you become eligible to go through CSAB’s (Central Seat Allocation Board) seat allocation program in which you have all the list of NIT’s IIIT’s and a few other government funded colleges. Here you have to fill the college and branch preferences according to your JEE rank and interest. You are alloted college and branch according to your preference order and your rank at the end of the allocation.

Faculty is different for different branch, so the quality of faculty is also different for different branches. Mechanical engineering and Electrical engineering departments are the best in terms of faculties, while faculties are less experienced in other branches.
