What is your review of SVNIT Surat??

Since SVNIT is the only college I've attended, I can't really compare it to others. Your opinion about it might depend on what you're looking for in your ideal college. If you're hoping for a place with lots of freedom, like a break from school life, SVNIT might not be the best fit. The 75% attendance rule can really limit your freedom. It even affects your ability to attend other college events, and missing those can hurt your attendance record.

Some students feel like they're wasting time in class when they could be exploring other interests, doing research, or working on skill development. For girls, the rules can feel especially restrictive. The curfew is at 11 pm, and the girls' hostel is somewhat isolated, which can make moving around the campus a bit awkward.

If you're dreaming of a college with fantastic facilities, SVNIT might not be it. There's no auditorium or tiered classrooms, which even basic colleges have. There's supposed to be a swimming pool, but it's non-existent. The football ground is in bad shape, and there's debate whether it should become a cricket ground or just remain overgrown.

If you're looking for a place with open-mindedness and interaction, SVNIT might be challenging. The research wing lacks air conditioning and funds. You would think Hindi would be common, but regional languages like Gujarati and Telugu are more prevalent. This kind of division can make even casual conversations awkward.

There are student chapters for drama, dance, and art, but they don't get much support. Faculty often believe these activities hinder technical thinking, so these groups have to practice in less-than-ideal conditions. Engineers here are known for being good at everything except engineering!

Sports enthusiasts might find the facilities lacking. The football ground is overgrown, the basketball court is missing benches, and the swimming pool is just a myth. Cricket is the most popular sport, and if you're a cricket enthusiast, you might have a bright future here.

If you want a continuation of high school life, SVNIT might be right for you, though the bonds here might not be as strong, and the studying is tougher.

These might sound like negatives, but I think they paint a clear picture of the college. On the plus side, it's in a city with lots of cultural diversity and opportunities. You'll learn to interact with different people and develop new skills. Yes, you have to study, but that's part of college life. Participate in events, have fun, and embrace your youth. Despite its flaws, I love my college and am committed to its growth and my own.

Review time, huh! SVNIT Surat turned out to be the second-best thing in my educational journey. Initially, I was bummed about missing out on IIT, but once I got here, I noticed many others felt the same way. Honestly, with friends in both IITs and NITs, I'd say SVNIT has some advantages over them.

One standout feature of SVNIT is its technical club, DRISHTI. This group is incredibly active and is perfect for anyone wanting to grow in the technical field or needing help with technical tasks. The seniors here are super friendly and treat you like pals, creating a warm and welcoming environment.

Another awesome group is CHRD, the cultural hub of the campus. They host plays, dance events, and all sorts of cultural activities. There are tons of other groups too, giving you loads of memorable experiences that make you glad you chose SVNIT.

The professors here are top-notch, with most holding PhDs and actively engaging in research within their fields.

And of course, there's the WiFi! It's like the cherry on top, offering excellent speed, especially when you're on LAN.

That's SVNIT for you!

I've got mixed feelings about SVNIT Surat. If you're into sports, you might be disappointed here. The sports ground condition is pretty bad all year round. I've taken some photos myself and also got some from the official site to show you. From January to June, there's hardly any grass on the ground, and then from July to December, it turns into a grassy area, as you can see in the pictures.

There are only 2 badminton courts for 4000 students. So, if you want to play, you usually have to wait around 20 minutes for your turn, and then you only get about 10 minutes to play before being asked to leave. It's tough for so many students to get a fair chance with just 2 courts. The highlight of sports is MMNCT, an inter-year cricket tournament that usually happens at night. But, because the ground isn't in great shape, students often end up playing on the roads near the hostels.

On the bright side, the gym is fantastic. The equipment is top-notch, and it's well laid out.

Academics here have their ups and downs. Many professors can be quite boring, making it easy to doze off during lectures. However, there are some good ones, especially in the civil department. The marking system is quite clear, and you get to see your exam papers within 15-20 days, which feels a bit like school. The classrooms are also quite basic, similar to those in schools, not what you might be dreaming of.

The rules are pretty relaxed, and you can manage with proxies for attendance. In most subjects, 60% attendance is enough, not the usual 75%. The teachers aren't very strict, not like the typical Indian professors, though there are exceptions.

Campus life is one of the best parts. It's located in a well-developed area of Surat, with plenty of shopping malls and eateries nearby. Places like Mumbai and Daman are also close by for weekend getaways.

The college has various clubs like technical, dance, singing, coding, and SAE (for car building, popular among mechanical students). However, don't expect too much from these clubs if you want to reach a professional level. You'll have to work on that by yourself, except for the technical club, which is prioritized for placements.

Hostel and mess food is decent. If you've survived Kota, you'll manage here just fine. It's not a big issue. In the girls' hostel, I've heard the food is of premium quality, so SVNIT seems a bit unfair to the boys in this regard.

Finally, if you're interested in things other than sports, SVNIT is a good choice. But for sports, MNIT Jaipur might be better. I've included a picture of the MNIT sports ground.

As for placements, SVNIT does quite well. I've got some stats to show you if you're interested. Feel free to message me with any more questions. Sorry for the long post!
