Review of Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat

Course Curriculum Overview:

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

Great college for exploring and learning.

Dislikes

The curriculum is not that much updated.

The college fees is around average 80,000 for one semister which includes 62,500 tution fees,15000 development fees and others for one semister. But this is for general students but there are various scholarships and remissions available for students which makes thr fee very low. This helps students to reduce their fees to around 1/3 or 2/3 or in some cases full fees remissions. Ews and other students gets full fee remissions. These all things makes the college very affordable.
