Which college will be better for civil engineening: NIT Allahabad or NIT Surathkal?

I know people from both NIT Allahabad and NIT Surathkal and based on the reviews I got from them, I will say the former is better. Choose Civil Engineering, only if you are genuinely interested in the branch. If you want placement after the completion of the course, you will have to work hard as there are not many core companies visiting the campus placement drive. However, the placement record for NIT Allahabad is better as compared to NIT Surathkal.

Here are some of the other reasons why you should give preference to NIT Allahabad.

• The academic environment at the campus is great. You will experience healthy competition among peers. Many students prepare for competitive examinations such as GATE, CAT, IES, UPSC, etc. Back in 2017, three students from the Civil engineering branch secured AIR 1, AIR 2, and AIR 3 in GATE.
• At NIT Allahabad, you can change your branch after the first year, if you maintain >7.5 CPI.
• It has an impressive placement record. Here are the recent placement statistics for the CIvil branch.

• The laboratories are well equipped.

However, before you decide on any college you should do your own research on the branch at both institutes.
