Review of Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat

My branch is Electronics and Communication Engineering. It has 6 subjects per semester. Curriculum upto 2nd year is aligned with the GATE exam syllabus and after that it is towards practical and real world applications. We have Machine Learning and IoT courses with projects. In every semester some portion of the syllabus is always left due to lack of time. Frequency of exam is 1 per 2 weeks and difficulty level is moderate

Placement of my college is decent enough as per NITs. From 7 semester students become eligible for campus placements. Companies like Micron, GE Healthcare, Visa, MasterCard and more visited and offer 6 to 7 candidates depending on requirement. Highest package is 57 LPA in CSE branch and 35 LPA in ECE branch. In CSE Placement percentage is 94% and in ECE it is 84%. I will go for College placements and will give government exams and GATE exam.

Sparsh and Mindbend are the annual and technical festivals in my college organised in the month of February. Our Library has more than 80000 books which can be accessed through Library cards. Our classroom has smart boards and 2 projectors and labs are equipped with up to date equipments. Cricket(Manoj Memorial Night Cricket Tournament and Inter NIT), Football, Basketball, Volleyball and Other games are organised every year. NCC and NSS are very important and also departmental and Robotics clubs are there. We have startup and encubation(Ashine) clubs also.

Hostel are well developed and good to stay. We have double rooms for BTech students and single rooms for PhD and Mtech students. We have more than 10 hostels for girls and boys. Every room has 2 beds, 2 student table and chairs and other things students have to arrange. There is one common toilet and bathroom(with geyser) with 24x7 electricity and water supply. Mess food is good with new food everyday and special lunch on Sunday. Alternate Saturday, mess is off. Online portal is there for Hostel room allotment and Mess Fee Payment.

Admission I chose this college because it was NIT and had decent placements in ECE branch and also it was close to my home. I qualified JEE Advance butcategory and rank I was not getting CSE and ECE in IITs so I go for NITs. Admission process of my college is through JEE Mains

The faculty-student ratio is 1:10, and most faculty members are approachable. Abhishek Acharya sir, who teaches Analog Electronics, is one of the best faculty members. His teaching style is highly effective, as he explains every topic on the board, solves each question thoroughly, and gives a deep understanding of semiconductor devices. Suresh Dahiya sir is also excellent in Communication subjects like Antenna Theory and Satellite Communication, with great subject command. The examination pattern includes Mid-Semester exams (30 marks) and End-Semester exams (50 or 100 marks depending on the subject). Apart from these, two quizzes are conducted during the semester for continuous assessment.

Our college has one canteen(Geeta Caterers) and most of the Hostels have Night Canteen. Ther is one fully equipped gym and one central library. Our college is inside the Surat City and everything is available within 1 km range. Hostel timing for 1st year is till 8 pm and campus timing for every year is 11:30 pm. For girls it is 10:30 pm for every year girls. There is Dumas Beach at a distance of 7km and Saputara Hill Station. VR Mall and Night Bazaar is also within 2km range.
