Academics & Faculty : The classes are held for 5 days in a week, the timings are 8AM-5PM. The students get many projects, assignments from the professors in their department. The course demands 1 project and 2 assignment for every subject in a semester.  The Students will have 2 Announced Tests, 2 Unannounced, 1 Mid and 1 End exam for every semester. They are evaluated and GPA of every student is calculated based on Relative Grading.  The teachers use both Class Room teaching as well as Practical Labs during their course work. The Professors are very well trained and informative.  My overall experience has been pretty good but there is always a room for improvement. The courses can be structured well and inter disciplinary courses can be offered. More Student-Teacher interaction can be implemented.

Entrance Exams & Admissions : Admissions to NITK Surathkal are done based on JEE Mains Score. The National Allocation Authorities called JOSAA for Indian Students and DASA for foreign students do the Admissions The students will be screened based on the cut-off scores and there will be 7 rounds of selections. Students will have to be present for reporting at the campus where the documents will be checked. The details for which can be found on the JOSAA and DASA websites. The documents verification is done and students who are satisfied with their seats can confirm it and who desire for an upgrade can put in a request.

Many companies hire interns through campus interviews during the beginning of V semester and the internships should be attended after completion of VI Semester.

I have attended 2 internships, one at BEML Ltd, Bangalore the other being GETMYUNI.  The key companies that hire from the Internships and Placements are ExxonMobil, Mercedes Benz, Cisco, Infosys, Microsoft, Tata, Bajaj, Samsung R&D, Qualcomm.
