How is NIT Surathkal and Warangal placements for Civil Engineering?
Civil is about learning and getting skills rather than getting placed with good packages. India is in desperate need of qualified civil engineers. Not every Civil Engineering graduate is skilled enough and yet is employed as an engineer leading to failure of structure and accidents. So your primary goal is to be knowledgeable and skilled rather than running after placements. There is also a huge scope of research outside India. Here are the placement statistics of the Civil Engineering branch of NIT Surathkal

Ultimately, bear in mind that you won’t be earning much initially as a civil engineer but with the passage of time you will earn a lot in terms of money and respect both.

Which one should I choose, IT in Surathkal or MNNIT, Allahabad?
MNNIT Allahabad offers similar opportunities for IT and CSE branches. Other than a few subjects, the curriculum, faculty, and career opportunities are more or less the same for NIT Allahabad.
Though Surathkal is promising a better university life with beaches and all.
NIT Allahabad houses one of the country's biggest and brightest CSE departments. Here you're getting a good, competitive, and coding-oriented environment. Seniors are very supportive and the course is good. But the location is quite remote so if you belong to a metro city, you will be disappointed with the city life.
In terms of placements, both institutes are almost on the same level.

Which college is academically best among NITK Surathkal, VNIT Nagpur and COEP?
Here are some things you should consider while making a choice-
- Branch- Choose the branch of your interest, instead of giving preference to brand name.
- Crowd- Try reaching out to the students from these colleges, and find out the kind of projects they are working on.
- Alumni Base- Research on the alumni network of these colleges, and where all the alumni have worked and studied.
- Visiting Companies- Research on the top 5 companies that recruit from the college (from the branch of your interest). Find out the median package offered to the students of your branch.
- Infrastructure and faculty- Research on faculty qualification, and the projects they are working on. This will be useful in getting recommended when applying abroad. Research on the lab facilities.
- Campus life and exposure- Research on the campus life of each college.
COEP does not stand at par with the other two colleges. You’ll have to choose between NITK and VNIT Nagpur. You must choose between the two based on the branch of your interest.
Which should I choose: Electronics and Instrumentation in BITS Pilani Goa Campus, or Electrical and Electronics in NIT Surathkal?
Since both the colleges are considered highly reputable and among the best in the country, you should focus on the branch. The choice of the branch directly depends on your inclinations and future goals.
To make it easier for you I have explained each branch in short:
Electrical and Instrumentation:
- Instrumentation engineering is the engineering specialization that focuses primarily on the principle and operation of measuring instruments that are used in the design and configuration of automated systems in electrical, pneumatic domains, etc.
- These engineers usually work at chemical or manufacturing plants and their job role involves improving productivity, reliability, safety, optimization, and stability.
- They are responsible for designing devices that measure physical quantities such as pressure, flow, and temperature. You will require a lot of knowledge in physics much more than electromagnetic theory.
Electrical and Electronics:
- In this students learn to design electronic circuits, and computer systems and also develop control systems. Electronics play a key role in the implementation and control of electrical machines.
- The course mainly focuses on designing and testing ICs, inductors, capacitors and resistors and includes fundamentals and principles of physics, mathematics, computer science, and project management.
- The sub-disciplines of this branch are power, control, electronics, microelectronics and Signal Processing, Telecommunications, Instrumentation and Computers.
Although the choice depends on your own interests, EE has a better scope than EIE.
What should I go for, IT in NIT Surathkal or CS in NIT Allahabad? I want to go for Surathkal but don't know if IT is a good option.
One of my friends was doubtful whether the hindi-speaking culture of MNNIT will have any impact on her English communication skills. If you are doubtful regarding the same, I would say you need not worry uselessly.
Students from MNNIT clear CAT with good scores. This wouldn’t have been possible without clearing the CAT verbal paper. Students converse in Hindi on campus simply because most of them belong to North India. This won’t have any negative effect on your English proficiency. Also, the professors deliver lectures in English. Other than that, to keep enhancing your English skills, you can join the English Literature group of MNNIT.
As far as your options are concerned, MNNIT is known for its top notch education in CSE. It is one of the best colleges in India for a CSE program. Also, the placements offered at MNNIT are quite impressive, especially for its CSE branch.
According to me, you should choose CSE at MNNIT over IT at NIT Surathkal.
Which is better, CS at NIT Allahabad or IT at NIT Surathkal?
Honestly, there isn't any major difference between CSE and IT branches as both are related to computers. The job opportunities are almost similar. So, you should prioritize college over branch in your case. NIT Surathkal is much better than MNNIT Allahabad and this can be further understood through the points below
