Every teacher has years of experience in teaching and knows how to treat college students. The course curriculum has improved with time and makes students ready for the industry. But it is quite hectic and still needs to be updated.

I have completed my B.Tech in NITK, ECE department. Placements were good, and almost 90% of the students got placed. Core companies were limited, but many students got placed. The highest salary package offered was 18 LPA. The lowest salary package offered was 6 LPA. Opportunities for internships were more than placements. A lot of good companies like GE, MBRDI, RBEI, Moog India, etc., had visited our campus for placements.

We have good Wi-Fi, a library with good Wi-Fi, air-conditioned facilities, and medical facilities. There is a separate mess for vegetarian and non-vegetarian students. Good facilities for sports are available. A new indoor sports complex is available for basketball, cricket, table tennis, badminton, billiards, and kabaddi.

All the facilities are qualified from recognised universities. Best teacher vs student ratios. Course curriculum makes students ready for industry-level work. Semester exams are medium to difficult level, above 7.5 CGPA is good and above 8.5 is best in our department.

The average salary package offered was 10 LPA for overall UG courses. For computer science and information technology, the average salary package offered was 17 LPA. The highest salary package offered was in between 40 LPA-50 LPA. Overall placements are 100% for computer science and information technology students. NIRF ranking is 13 according to the 2019 index.

NITK holds mainly two fests. One is a technical fest which is hosted in the odd semester, and the other one is a cultural fest hosted in the even semester. Our cultural fest is the largest in South India.

All the hostels and classrooms have Wi-Fi facilities. The library is air-conditioned, and you can go and study there till 3 am. First-year has some timing in hostels, but from 2nd year onwards, there is time limit for girls and no limit time for boys though. In the first year, it's not that good, but from the second year onwards, it will be good. You can't compare it with home food. One thing I miss is the beach.

The teachers are very helpful. Some of them are rude sometimes. If you are late for 5 minutes, then they won't allow you to the class. 75% attendance is necessary depending on the faculty again. Most of the students are learning by themselves. YouTube is a life-saver for engineers. The difficult level is average.

Overall, it's good. In CSE and IT, 100% of placements are available for the last few years. The highest package offered last year was 45 LPA by Microsoft. The average package for all branches is 10.5 LPA and 15-16 LPA for CSE and IT. Many companies visit NITK every year. Last year, the count is 260+.

Faculty members of the ECE department are a bit more strict. There is so much project work, along with weekly lab assignments. Students remain involved in them most of the time. The semester exams are moderate if someone studies from the very first day of the semester.

The placement of the ECE branch at NITK is actually good compared to other NITs. The highest package for the academic year 2023 was 54 LPA. The average package was around 20 LPA. Most of the students get placed in core jobs. But many of them get jobs in the software field as well.

The boys hostels are separately situated from the girls hostels. All the hostels are equipped with all the basic facilities.

I chose this course because I have been interested in the coding field and computer science engineering from the beginning. It is truly based on modern technology and the technology we use daily. I want to improve some of the courses in the first semester and second semester that are totally irrelevant to the branch. Incident and Engineer are the two important festivals of the college. The campus is not too crowded, and it is connected by all modes of transport.

The college has a decent infrastructure. The old buildings are good but the new buildings are awesome. My department buildings are too old, so it is of decent level. Wi-Fi and other facilities are good. The hostel rooms are good. But the mess food is not so good. There are various sports and medical facilities.

Most of the professors have Ph.D. from top IITs and foreign universities. However, their teaching methodologies are not so good. They are too much boring. Yes, it is relevant up to a level. Semester exams are not so difficult. You can easily get good grades even if you start reading one day before the exam. It is relatively grading so passing marks depend upon the subject.

Before answering this question, let me tell you that I have visited NIT Calicut and my answers will be based on their comparison.
