Are there any internships at NIT Surathkal?

MS
Meghna Singh Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2019)

I am an alumnus of NIT Surathkal. NITK offers internships during the summers. These are on campus research internships, based on your area of interest. However, it is solely upon the professor's guide to accept or reject your application.

Other than that, Engineering students of NITK get numerous opportunities to intern at top brands through summer and winter internship drives. These internships can turn into full-time employment through PPOs. NITK students can also intern at foreign universities. This is because NITK has various MOUs with foreign educational institutes.

These are the internship possibilities for students of NITK, as well as outsiders who wish to intern at NIT Surathkal.

Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

If you are considering pursuing an undergraduate degree in engineering, you might be wondering which college to choose. Two popular options are the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) Mumbai and the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Surathkal.

Here are some points to consider when choosing between the two:

  • Alumni network: The alumni network of a college can give you an idea of the kind of opportunities and career paths you can expect after graduation. ICT Mumbai has a strong alumni network, and many of its graduates have reached top positions in academia, research, and industry. NIT Surathkal also has a strong alumni network, but it is relatively smaller compared to ICT.
  • Departmental reputation: The reputation of a department can vary across different colleges. ICT Mumbai is considered to be one of the top colleges in India for chemical engineering. Its curriculum is designed to provide a strong foundation in chemical engineering principles, and the faculty is highly qualified and experienced. NIT Surathkal has a good reputation for mechanical engineering, and its curriculum is designed to provide a broad understanding of the field.
  • Campus life: College life is an important factor to consider when choosing a college. ICT Mumbai has a relatively small campus, but it is located in the heart of Mumbai, which offers numerous opportunities for social and cultural activities. NIT Surathkal has a larger campus with modern facilities, and there are many clubs and student organizations that organize various events and activities throughout the year.
  • Research and higher studies: If you are interested in pursuing research and higher studies after graduation, ICT Mumbai may be a better choice as it has a strong focus on research and offers various programs for postgraduate and doctoral studies. NIT Surathkal also offers postgraduate programs, but its focus is more on practical training and industry-oriented education.

In summary, when deciding between ICT Mumbai and NIT Surathkal, you should consider factors such as alumni network, departmental reputation, campus life, and your future goals. If you are interested in chemical engineering and want to pursue research and higher studies, ICT Mumbai is an excellent choice. However, if you want to pursue mechanical engineering and are looking for a great campus life, NIT Surathkal may be a better option for you.

Which is a better choice between IIIT Bangalore ECE M.Tech and NIT Surathkal Electrical?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

I am listing down certain parameters for a better comparison between both these options-

  • Curriculum- In terms of curriculum, IIIT Bangalore is ahead of NIT Surathkal. At IIIT B, you’ll start learning core subjects from day 1 itself. At NITs, on the other hand, first-year students are taught Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Engineering Drawing, and other subjects that won’t be useful for Electrical studies. Also, at IIITB you’ll be solving industry-relevant assignments, which will give you a good insight into the requirements of your field. The curriculum at IIITB is far more updated and advanced.
  • Faculty- Even in terms of faculty, IIIT Bangalore is ahead of NIT Surathkal. They will give you all the relevant information on recent developments in the field of research.
  • Placements- Both campuses are visited by well-known brands for placements. With an 8+ GPA, you’ll be eligible to sit for placements at all core companies. Maintain good scores and proper knowledge of your field to get placed in a good company, at a package of 20+ LPA CTC.
  • College Life- IIIT Bangalore has a small campus and no good fests. On the other hand, NITK has a huge campus with a private beach. So NITK definitely offers a better campus life.
  • Location- Location-wise, IIIT Bangalore has a greater advantage as it is located in Bangalore. NITK is located in the small town of Surathkal.

Both the colleges are really good. I would recommend you make your decision based on the branch you are interested in studying.

How is NSIT Delhi compared to NIT Surathkal?

SR
Sharmishtha Dutta Ray Posted On : July 17th, 2021
National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2019)

Since you have not mentioned any particular branch, I assume that you are getting to choose from all the branches at both institutions. Both the colleges have their own pros and cons.

Being a student of NIT Surathkal, my brother has often talked about its greatness.

Campus:

  • NIT Surathkal has a big campus spread across 300 acres of land. There is a private beach, gym, swimming pool, and everything that you need for recreation.
  • There is a high-speed WiFi facility as well.
  • There are separate departments for all the major and minor subjects.
  • The campus of NSIT Delhi is not as big as the campus of NIT Surathkal and is spread across 150-200 acres of land. It has a lush green campus which is aesthetic along with wide roads.

Academics:

  • NIT Surathkal is strict when it comes to academics. Along with your GPA, your projects will also be given equal importance.
  • In both colleges, you can freely do your project in any domain.

Faculty:

  • NIT Surathkal has permanent HODs, associate professors, and professors. The faculties are well experienced.
  • Do not forget that more than professors, your hard work matters most.

Coding Culture:

  • The coding culture is at par in both institutions.
  • There have been participants at GSOC and other competitions. NIT Surathkal has nearby malls, pools, games, etc. for leisure.

Location:

  • NSIT clearly wins at this as it is situated in Delhi. It has easy access to everything.
  • However, NIT Surathkal has a beach too for relaxation.

Overall both the colleges are equally good. But NIT Surathkal has a clear edge over NSIT in various aspects.

The entire experience of being on the NIT Surathkal campus will completely shape you and your personality for the future. They pay attention to everything that’s essential for growth apart from academics helps a great deal to build a community of like-minded people among the groups of students.

Choosing NIT Surathkal is a wiser option because of the following reasons:
