NIT Surathkal MTech in CSE is a highly regarded program with decent prospects.

According to the recent statistics, NIT Surtahkal MTech CSE placements had an average CTC of INR 7-8 LPA. Almost all companies that visit the campus drive offer placements to MTech students.
During the initial days of the placement drive, it’s difficult to get placement for M.Tech students. There is heavy competition from B.Tech students. But if you have good coding skills or any other pointers that make your profile stand out then you can bag a good job.
MTech Placement is really good. Maximum placements are made from CSE Department, be it BTech or MTech, but BTech students are preferred because they can work at a lower salary as compared to MTech.

A friend of mine from the CSE Background got an offer from Texas Instruments which was paying around 14 lakhs per annum back in 2013.
