Choosing between NIT Surathkal (Mechanical) and RV College of Engineering (CS) depends on your interests and career goals. If you’re passionate about coding, software development, or IT roles, RV’s CS program offers better placement opportunities in the tech industry. On the other hand, NIT Surathkal has a strong reputation, excellent infrastructure, and opportunities in Mechanical Engineering, but placements in core mechanical roles can be more competitive. Evaluate your interests and long-term goals to make the best decision.
