Which is better, NIT Surathkal for mechanical or IIEST Shibpur for CSE?

Avni MallickB.Tech. Mining Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2021)

Both NIT Surathkal and IIEST Shibpur are amazing institutes and the departments of the mentioned branches are at their best. The deciding factor here is your branch of interest.

  • If you are inclined towards Mechanical Engineering, you must opt for NITK. If you are more into coding IIEST must be your choice.
  • Another factor to look for if you are not that specific about the branch to study is the institute's proximity to your home.
  • The one which is easily accessible must be preferably your choice.
  • Shibpur is very well connected to all major cities. Frequent industry visits are conducted.
  • NITK Surathkal is located in Karnataka. Their campus is the best. They even have a beach surrounding its campus.
Categories CSE at IIEST Shibpur Mechanical at NIT Surathkal
Course Fee 5.68 lakhs 5.40 lakhs
Highest CTC 29-35 LPA 28 LPA
Average CTC 17-18 LPA 10-15 LPA
Recruiting Companies Deloitte, Wipro, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc. L&T, JP Morgan, IOCL, GAIL, etc.

But when we compare placements in the CSE branch of IIEST Shibpur to the mechanical branch of NITK, IIEST Shibpur wins hands down. The decision here ultimately comes down to you. Consider all the above factors and choose wisely.
