Based on my research, here is some relevant information to assist you-

IIIT Bangalore offers much better infrastructure, research facilities, and placement opportunities as compared to NIT Surathkal. However, the fee structure at IIIT Bangalore is also on the higher side. Most of the top brands visit both these campuses for placements. 

As of June 2023, the highest CTC for M.Tech ECE stood at 38 LPA, at IIIT Bangalore. The average CTC stood at 26.2 LPA, and the median CTC stood at 22.5 LPA. 

Though both are top colleges, I would recommend you choose IIIT Bangalore for M.Tech ECE. Especially, if the fee is not an issue for you. 

On the basis of academics, if a college has to be chosen between NIT Surathkal and NIT Hamirpur for a B. Tech civil engineering course, one should look at the different perspectives that are given below.

NIT Surathkal:

NIRF ranked NIT Surathkal as the 21st best engineering college in 2019. The college has an amazing faculty for civil engineering most of the teachers that are in NITSurathkal have acquired Ph.D. degrees and a minimum teaching average of 2 years. The admission to the BTech Civil program is through JEE Mains.

Placements:

Therefore, in conclusion, in terms of syllabus, both these colleges have more or less the same course structure and merit system. If a choice has to be made between the two one can choose a college based on the factors that are given above.

When it comes to choosing a college and a branch for your undergraduate studies in computer science, it's important to consider various factors such as the quality of education, faculty, infrastructure, and most importantly, the placement prospects.

Firstly, IIIT Bangalore is exclusively dedicated to information technology and computer science education, while NIT Surathkal offers a wide range of engineering courses including IT and CS. However, CS at IIIT Bangalore and IT at NIT Surathkal has comparable curriculums, and you can expect to learn programming languages, algorithms, databases, networking, software engineering, and more.

Let's take a look at the current placement statistics of both colleges in their CS branch:

• IIIT Bangalore: The average placement package for the CS branch is around 13 lakhs per annum, with top recruiters including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart, and more. The highest package offered is around 50 lakhs per annum. The placement rate is around 95%, and most students get placed within the first few days of the placement season.
• NIT Surathkal: The average placement package for the IT branch is around 8-9 lakhs per annum, while the CS branch has a slightly higher average package of around 10-11 lakhs per annum. The top recruiters include Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, IBM, and more. The highest package offered is around 42 lakhs per annum. The placement rate is around 90%, and some students get placed in non-technical roles as well.

Now, let's talk about the other aspects of these colleges:

• Faculty: Both IIIT Bangalore and NIT Surathkal have experienced and qualified faculty members who are dedicated to providing quality education and guidance to students.
• Infrastructure: IIIT Bangalore has a modern and well-equipped campus with state-of-the-art labs, a library, hostels, sports facilities, and more. NIT Surathkal has a vast and sprawling campus with good facilities, although some departments may lack the latest equipment.
• Location: IIIT Bangalore is located in the heart of the city, making it easily accessible and providing plenty of opportunities for internships, projects, and collaborations with industry. NIT Surathkal is located in a scenic coastal town, which may be preferable for some students who enjoy a quieter environment.

In conclusion, both IIIT Bangalore and NIT Surathkal are excellent choices for pursuing a career in IT or CS. However, if you prioritize a CS certificate, slightly higher average placement packages, and a central location, IIIT Bangalore may be a better option for you.

MCA program offered at both NIT Warangal and NIT Surathkal is highly regarded in the industry and there aren't any major differences between the two. Here is a general comparative analysis of both the NITs and their MCA programs

In general, NIT Warangal is better in terms of placements, crowd quality, infrastructure, and faculty. Both institutes, however, have a similar ROI. NIT Surathkal hasn't released its placement statistics for the MCA program, so I have mentioned that of NIT Warangal only. 

The placement percentage of NIT Warangal MCA placements stood at 96% while the same for NIT Surathkal stood at 88%. It clearly proves that NIT Warangal is a better option for MCA than NIT Surathkal. Moreover, in NIT Surathkal you will have to spend an extra year and spend extra money.  

Rather than choosing between institutes, choose the branch you are inclined towards. Determining your future prospects is an indispensable factor when choosing your college. You need to find out what you are willing to do after getting your degree; pursuing higher studies or getting employed. 

Had I been in your place, I would have chosen NIT Surathkal because of the branch CSE you are getting. In this high-tech era, CSE is in full bloom and is one of the most coveted branches. Someone who is getting CSE at an NIT should never give that chance up for any other branch that too at a new IIT. 

Here is why one should go for NIT Surathkal

• NIT Surathkal fairs are better than IIT Dhanwad in terms of faculty, infrastructure, and placements. 
• NIT Surathkal has a stunning campus with its own private beach.
• IIT Dhanwad does not even have half the companies that visit NITK Surathkal for placements.
• NITK Surathkal is a well-established institute often compared to the IITs while IIT Dhanwad is yet to make its mark.

The following points prove enough that NITK Surathkal CSE is better than IIT Dhanbad EE. In fact, I would have chosen IIT Dhanwad CSE over electrical or other core branches at old IITs. however, my answer is not directed towards someone who has a particular interest in Electrical, for them IIT EE is the best.

One of my friends studied in NIT Silchar and also has friends in NIT Hamirpur. I asked him the same question and he claimed NIT Hamirpur to be a better choice. 

Stating reasons for the same he said:

• NIT Hamirpur campus is extremely beautiful and well-equipped with modern facilities.
• The level of academics is better at NIT Hamirpur than at NIT Silchar.
• The faculty pool of NIT Harimpirbis more experienced and approachable.

The major issue that NIT Silchar faces is the connectivity between cities. As a result, many recruiters are interested in coming here affecting the placement scenario and crowd quality largely. NIT Hamirpur on the other hand is located close to Delhibso the exposure r and opportunities are better.
