If you want to study mechanical engineering, I would recommend NIT Surat without a doubt. NIT Surat specializes in mechanical engineering. Let me share some details I got to know about while researching.
| Categories | NIT Calicut | NIT Surat |
| Total course fee | 5.42 lakhs | 5.63 lakhs |
| Placement rate | 85% | 90% |
| Average salary package | 8.1 lakhs | 12 lakhs |
| Top recruiters | ABB, ADP, Amadeus, amdocs, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Auto, CapGemini. | Airtel, Ashok Leyland, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, DE Shaw, EXL, Infosys |
So, if you are truly interested in mechanical engineering, I would recommend that you should not hesitate to apply to NIT Surat.
SVNIT is theoretical research-based while CEPT is more practice-oriented. If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. further or if you would like to get placed on-campus, then SVNIT is your place.
After matching your requirements focus on excelling at GATE to get structural engineering getting into structural engineering at SVNIT.
If you choose CEPT then you will have to work hard to get a job. It is well known in all of Asia and has one of the best civil engineers. The faculty is highly qualified, its alumni are working in MNCs and most of them get annual trips abroad.
Lastly, if you are not from Ahmedabad you will have to stay at the CEPT hostel which is an awesome place to stay, as you will see for yourself if you so choose to be.
Be mindful of the fees because both SVNIT and Nirma charge more about the quality they provide.
No, you can’t take admission at SVNIT, based on GUJCET score. For undergraduate courses, SVNIT admissions are through JEE Main and JoSAA counseling. Being a Central Govt. affiliated institute, the institute takes admission based on national-level examination scores.
GUJCET is a state-level examination. Colleges and state universities of Gujrat take admission through the examination.
You should opt for SNVIT chemical. If you are inclined towards it and the placements are very decent with many recruiting companies. You will find a diverse environment here and will develop bonds and learn many new things. Also, the fests are one of the major attractions that give you a great experience of college life with new challenges whether you are in an organizing team or participating team. At the same time, the JEE ranking should be high enough to get admission to opt for chemical.
If you are interested in CS, then you should score 9.4+ in your first year. But if you have not studied CS before especially programming languages then it would be a very hard nut to crack. You can work on your weak topics in 1st year as nothing much is taught. If you are in Nirma then you would miss the college and hostel life, the best memories of college life.
If you like chemical engineering then go for it, never get trapped by the fickle-mindedness of people in society. Since in India, the tag of your college determines your intelligence level and capabilities so if you compare SVNIT Chemical with Nirma CSE, I would suggest SVNIT due to the opportunities it provides.
Since my sister is studying at SVNIT, I might be able to help you with your question. The placements at SVNIT in the department of chemical engineering are quite moderate.

After completing the degree, you can also opt for higher studies and go for research. The campus and the faculty members will help you with your project, thesis, presentations, etc.
If you want to sit for the placement drive, you can do it as well. The Training and Placement camp of the college will help you through and through. Some of the recruiting companies include Schlumberger Limited, GlaxoSmithKline, NTPC, GAIL, CIL, ONGC, Piramal Healthcare Limited, etc.
IIIT Bangalore CSE is an outstanding choice in every aspect. It is way better than SVNIT CSE. But there is a drawback to IIITB. It only offers a 5 year integrated program (B.Tech + M.Tech). I have a few friends at IIIT Bangalore, and according to them, a B.Tech is always better than an iM.Tech.
Regardless, IIITB CSE is way ahead. You should definitely consider it, especially if the high fee is not a concern for you.
If you are not looking at the branch, then you should think about going to SVNIT for Mechanical. Having friends study in both the institutes, I might be able to provide some details about them.
However, if you have decided that you would like to go for computers and if you could handle that field, IIIT Vadodara is a pretty good choice.
But many people will also advise you to not compare the two branches as they are quite different. NIT Surat is a better option facility wise but let me tell you that getting a job in the mechanical core is quite difficult. A lot of students will also opt for software fields.

Placement-wise, IIIT Vadodara is the best as you can get a lot more than what you might be looking for in Mechanical. Hope this helps.
The CSE faculty of SVNIT might be a little better, but apart from that, NIT Surathkal is superior in every aspect.
The IT department of NIT Surathkal boasts of top notch lab infrastructure, and up-to-date curriculum for B.Techs. It focuses on project based learning. This means that every course has a practical component. A lot of work is expected from the students, and the time given for these assignments and projects is limited. This allows for quick learning, but it also demands a lot of hardwork from the students’ side. Even in terms of placement, B.Tech IT at NITK is way ahead.
Thus, I would recommend you opt for IT at NITK over CSE at SVNIT.
