What is the current placement scenario for an MTech in the VLSI branch at NIT Surathkal and what is the minimum package?

Despite the pandemic, NIT Surathkal placements for M.Tech VLSI have been decent over the last few years. According to the recent placement statistics, the median CTC for VLSI is INR 9.3 LPA. Flipkart, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, Oracle, and Ford Motors are the top recruiters for the branch.

Which college is better for an MTech, VLSI, NIT Surathkal or IIIT Bangalore?

Based on my research, here is some relevant information to assist you- IIIT Bangalore offers much better infrastructure, research facilities, and placement opportunities as compared to NIT Surathkal. However, the fee structure at IIIT Bangalore is also on the higher side. Most of the top brands visit both these campuses for placements. As of June 2023, the highest CTC for M.Tech ECE stood at 38 LPA, at IIIT Bangalore. The average CTC stood at 26.2 LPA, and the median CTC stood at 22.5 LPA. Though both are top colleges, I would recommend you choose IIIT Bangalore for M.Tech ECE. Especially, if the fee is not an issue for you.
