What is the difference between Dharmsinh Desai University and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Institute of Technology Which is better and Why?
There are a lot of differences between the Dharam Singh College which is situated in Nadiad and the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Institute of Technology.
- The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Institute of Technology consists of an NIT tag which is a lot better than the other.
- Both the colleges furnish the same courses of engineering but getting an NIT tag that is a national institute tag helps a lot. It indicates a brand.

Should I study IT from IIEST Shibpur or EC from SVNIT?
IT from IIEST Shibpur is a better choice than EC from SVNIT Surat. Both my classmates and I agree to the fact that IIEST Shibpur is a much better institute than SVNIT. The reasons for the same are given below –
- It is a common observation that many of the EC engineering graduates eventually work as software engineers, which is not their core domain.
- IT is very close to CSE in terms of coding and related works. You will definitely learn more in IT rather than EC even if you are interested in software.
- If you want you can learn software development and coding on your own, then go for the EC branch of SVNIT.
- But that will require a lot of effort, time management, and discipline.
- IT at IIEST, Shibpur will also give a mental satisfaction that you are working in the same field as intended while in EC at SVNIT you will probably have to join a job that is not related to your core EC subjects.
- Even if you are passionate about EC, the faculty in this department at SVNIT are not very good. They are too young for the job.
- Of course, there will be seniors and various clubs to help you out but faculty are at the core of any teaching system.

Is NIT Surat better than NIT Calicut for mechanical?
As one of my friends is in the Computer Engineering Department of NIT Surat. I might be able to answer the question.
NIT Surat is well known for its Mechanical Branch. Compared to all branches, the quality of professors in the Mechanical Department is far better than the other branches.
If you have any interest in robotics we have Drishti, a student club that is completely dedicated to robotics and SAE for designing cars.
Thus, it is suggested that if you want to pursue mechanical engineering then go for NIT Surat. Whichever institute you choose you won't regret much. NIT Calicut also has good reviews on the internet.
Which college is better: NIT Surat chemical or NIT Surathkal metallurgy?
Considering the opportunities which may get available for you in the future, I would suggest you go for Chemical Engineering at NIT Surat as it would be a better option over metallurgy. As my sister studied there, I am very well aware of the college and its pros and cons.
- Many PSUs and organizations recruit students of the Chemical Engineering department from NIT Surat.
- Some of these PSUs which recruit from the college include BPCL, HPCL, IOCL, and COAL India.
- Many people consider NIT Surathkal to be better than NIT Surat based on incomplete information and the NIRF ranking released by the Ministry of Education, India.

How is a dual degree in mechanical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar in comparison with NIT Surat (SVNIT) mechanical engineering?
I pursued my B.Tech Mechanical from SVNIT, thus, I can only comment on my college.
The faculty of the mechanical department is top notch. Majority of our teachers are highly driven. It is because of them that mechanical is the most famous branch of our college. Our teachers emphasize practical knowledge over mere theoretical understanding. Many of them have more than 10 years of experience in teaching. The department has enough professors, so very few courses are taken by TAs. The faculty is very helpful for projects and research work.
The curriculum for B.Tech Mechanical is very rich, and you’ll get to choose one elective per semester in the 3rd and 4th year. You can choose courses from other branches as well. You can choose management courses, programming courses, physics related courses, automobile courses, etc. SVNIT is probably the only college that teaches its students topics like Mechatronics, Computational fluid mechanics (CFD), Cryogenics, etc. at the UG level itself.
Unfortunately, like most other colleges, our practical syllabus and lab equipment needs to be upgraded. The labs do not contain equipment of the latest technology. The workshop contains all conventional and non conventional machines like lathe, shoper, milling, grinding, welding, abrasive jet machine, EDM, 3-D printer, etc.
As far as B.Tech Mechanical at SVNIT is concerned, I would say it is quite a decent option.
