Which is a better choice between IIIT Bangalore ECE M.Tech and NIT Surathkal Electrical?

I am listing down certain parameters for a better comparison between both these options-

• Curriculum- In terms of curriculum, IIIT Bangalore is ahead of NIT Surathkal. At IIIT B, you’ll start learning core subjects from day 1 itself. At NITs, on the other hand, first-year students are taught Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Engineering Drawing, and other subjects that won’t be useful for Electrical studies. Also, at IIITB you’ll be solving industry-relevant assignments, which will give you a good insight into the requirements of your field. The curriculum at IIITB is far more updated and advanced.

• Faculty- Even in terms of faculty, IIIT Bangalore is ahead of NIT Surathkal. They will give you all the relevant information on recent developments in the field of research.

• Placements- Both campuses are visited by well-known brands for placements. With an 8+ GPA, you’ll be eligible to sit for placements at all core companies. Maintain good scores and proper knowledge of your field to get placed in a good company, at a package of 20+ LPA CTC.

• College Life- IIIT Bangalore has a small campus and no good fests. On the other hand, NITK has a huge campus with a private beach. So NITK definitely offers a better campus life.

• Location- Location-wise, IIIT Bangalore has a greater advantage as it is located in Bangalore. NITK is located in the small town of Surathkal.

Both the colleges are really good. I would recommend you make your decision based on the branch you are interested in studying.
