Which NIT is preferable for girls: NIT, Surathkal, Warangal, or Allahabad?

As a female student at NIT Surathkal, I can tell you about my experience at my own college.

I belong to North India, which is why the first few months were spent in homesickness. Your Bangalorean friends will grab every opportunity to visit their home every other weekend. You, on the other hand, would get to visit home once, during Dussehra for a week or so. But as time passes, the weather problem and homesickness will slowly subside.The campus organizes plenty of events all the time, so you won’t feel bored at all. Also, you’ll get to explore Mangalore and Manipal. 

The girls’ mess food is pretty decent. Earlier, it’s difficult to adjust to hostel food, but you’ll adapt quickly. The girls’ mess serves dal and rice every afternoon and night. The dal is pretty decent. Even the dosas and idlis served during breakfast are pretty decent. Buttermilk is served every afternoon, and a cup of curd is served at night. Bread-jam-butter is available for breakfast. In the evening, snacks are served with tea/coffee/milk. The tea tastes pretty good. 

Thrice a week, ice cream is served, and sweets are served once a week. Paneer is served twice a week. Veg Biryani is served in Sunday dinners. Each month, a grand dinner is organized with extra items on the menu like soup, salad, cornetto and sweets. 

The hostel life at NIT Surathkal is pretty decent for girls. The hostel timings are lenient. First year girls need to be back by 8:30 pm. From 2nd year onwards, girls need to be back by 10 pm. NIT Surathkal also has a private beach of its own.

I don’t know about NIT Warangal or NIT Allahabad, but the college life of girl students is overall good at NIT Surathkal.
