Where should I enroll, NIT Surathkal (mining engineering) or PES University (computer science)?

There is no clear winner in this comparison. If you are interested in Mining Engineering and want to learn fundamental and core technicalities, then NIT Surathkal will be better. As an institute, NITK is better than other engineering colleges in Karnataka. It offers better academics, exposure, facilities, and campus life. For Mining, NIT Surtahkal placements are great. Coal India visits NITK for recruiting students. The average CTC received by the students of this bench is INR 5-6 LPA. But if you aren’t particularly interested in Mining Engineering, then you should choose CSE at PES University. In the current industry landscape, CSE offers better placements with cushy salary packages.

The fee structure is not so high in NITK. The tution fee for students without any kind of reservation is 80000. There are so many benefits for reserved students. They will provide financial aid. There are scholarships for both reserved and unreserved students like merit based, mean based, merit cum mean based scholarships
