Where should I enroll, NIT Surathkal (mining engineering) or PES University (computer science)?
Posted On - Apr 1, 2021There is no clear winner in this comparison. If you are interested in Mining Engineering and want to learn fundamental and core technicalities, then NIT Surathkal will be better. As an institute, NITK is better than other engineering colleges in Karnataka. It offers better academics, exposure, facilities, and campus life. For Mining, NIT Surtahkal placements are great. Coal India visits NITK for recruiting students. The average CTC received by the students of this bench is INR 5-6 LPA.
But if you aren’t particularly interested in Mining Engineering, then you should choose CSE at PES University. In the current industry landscape, CSE offers better placements with cushy salary packages.
People's Education Society University (PES) is a better university than the National Institute of Technology Surathkal.
In the below table you will get the basic information about the PES (CSE) and NIT Surathkal (Mining Engineering) course.

If you are thinking to opt between PES and NIT, then choose PES University main campus. As its CSE programme is better than Mining Engineering of NIT Surathkal. But Mining Engineering students have decent placement as top companies including Coal India comes for campus placement in NIT.
One of my friends studies at NITK and as per his experience, Mining Engineering at NIT Surathkal is better than Kharagpur, BITS Pilani, Tricky, Warangal, or Mechanical Engineering.
Therefore, you can choose Mining Engineering from NIT Surathkal too. It is a good option for students who want an audacious career. As NIT Surathkal is considered as one of the best institutes in Karnataka and it also has decent placement.
