NIT Surathkal: 6 Answered Questions
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

NIT Warangal ECE is a great choice in terms of job and academic opportunities. So try to maintain a good GP to avail the maximum benefits.
Which is better: NIT Goa ECE or NITK EEE?
Among these two courses and colleges, you should probably choose EEE at NITK. Having to know some people studying in both these institutes, I can say that the infrastructure and facilities provided at NIT Goa are very poor, it is also below NITK in terms of rankings.
- The campus of NITK is very beautiful with lush green surroundings. NIT Goa is much smaller and might be built inside a state government-run college. Students can enjoy leisure time along with their studies.
- The faculty is very talented and highly experienced.
- The course curriculum is updated according to the recent industry trends.
- The placement opportunities are excellent. A lot of companies visit the campus for interviews.
- NITK is also better if you want to do higher studies like machine learning, etc.
| Categories | EEE at NIT Surathkal |
| Course Fee | 5.40 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 14-15 LPA |
| Average CTC | 8-9 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, nVidia, Western Digital, etc. |
Hence, choosing EEE at NITK will be a better option as the faculty, infrastructure, and placements of this college is great and there is also a very good scope of higher studies.
Which is easier, EEE or ECE at NIT Surathkal?
I have a few friends at NIT Surathkal and based on the conversation I had with them, I will say at NIT Surathkal, ECE is considered to be the toughest branch.
- The academics and research are taken very seriously in the department.
- The professors are demanding and highly qualified than other departments.
- In this department everyone, from HOD to lab assistants, everyone is serious about studies and making a point about academic rigor.
- The exams are also very tough and students even fail in lab examinations too.
But the scenario at the EEE department of NIT Surathkal is slightly different and its biggest advantage is that it has a relaxed attendance policy, unlike other branches.
The recent placement statistics for the branches are as follows.

Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE, BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus for CSE or NIT Surthkal for ECE?
BITS is the better choice among all as CSE has more scope than ECE. And NIT Surathkal is an old institute with a better placement record than IIT Bhubaneswar.
Since BITS Hyderabad is the newest among all other campuses and it certainly is a little behind in terms of faculty, infrastructure, etc. But when compared on a national level it is on par with any other institute. It provides the students with a prime location to look for internships and also provides an edge to them if they are opting for off-campus placements. Although the institute provides students with decent opportunities for on-campus placements also. Around 200 companies visit the campus each year and around 94% of the student secured a job through campus placements with an average package of around 5-6 lakhs per annum and the highest package offered was as high as 14 lakhs per annum.
NIT Surathkal is among the top NITs of this country. The placements of students of this branch are also good although NIT Trichy and Warangal have better placement records. The average placement package offered at this NIT is around 14.15 LPA and 100% placement was observed for B.Tech batches in last year’s placement drive.
ECE is one of the new branches that started at IIT Bhubaneswar starting from 2016. Hence the first batch of students will graduate in 2020. In 2019, the average CTC offered in this IIT was 11.44 LPA. Many core companies, software companies, PSU’s, etc. hire electrical engineers from IIT Bhubaneswar hence one can assume the same trend to be followed for electronics and communication engineering also but the result is yet to be seen.
Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar for mechanical or NIT Surathkal for ECE?
As your choice of course is different, it’s hard to select between IIT Bhubaneswar and NIT Surathkal.
According to the NIRF 2019, IIT Bhubaneswar is ranked at 26, which is a good rank considering it’s a new IIT. The Mechanical Engineering department is quite good at IIT Bhubaneswar. According to the 2019 placement record, 83% students got job offers from Mechanical Engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar. Many famous companies such as Amazon, H Jindal Stainless Ltd, KEC International, KIIT, Rao Edusolutions, TATA steel, TATA Advance System, Thermax, TETCOS, TESCO, UHG, and other companies as well recruited students last year.
NIT Surathkal is a well-reputed name in Indian Engineering institutions. According to NIRF Ranking, it ranks at 22 nationally among engineering institutes in India. ECE in this NIT is even better as compared to a few IITs. The placement records of 2018-19 show that 97% of placement offers were received by students in this department. The average placement offer was 12-13 LPA.
Both IIT Bhubaneswar for Mechanical and NIT Surathkal for ECE are good choices with their own advantages. So, choose wisely according to your convenience.
IS ECE in IIT Bhubaneswar better than CSE in NIT Surathkal?
NIT Surathkal CSE will be a better option. It offers better academics and placements. NIT K placements are excellent for CSE. Students of the branch get an average CTC of around INR 15-16 LPA. While the highest CTC goes up to INR 45 LPA. Microsoft, Amazon, and D.E. Shaw & Co. are among the major recruiters of the branch.
