Hii there,

Congratulations for securing place in any of the college. You know that B. Tech programme at Surathkal has higher cutoff. Also it has lower fees in Surathkal than Calicut. NIT Calicut is much older college which is a attractive part. It was established in 1961 while Surathkal in 2002. Both being the government college and almost same student intake. Fees is almost similar, but yes you need much good rank for IT in Surathkal.

Now when you yourself get to know about colleges through above link, do find your interest in IT or CSE. You must know which branch you might be interested. Now a days IT engineers are in higher demand. It deals with the application in real life problems while deals with the background of these sciences. So research about topics. If you have someone in contact who can share their experiences as an IT or CSE engineer, do ask them.

Hope you get your answer. Good luck!!
