Why did you choose NITIE Mumbai over IIMs?
My brother is a former student of NITIE, currently working at a reputed MNC with a great package. His selection to NITIE was an informed decision as he was aware of the opportunities he is gonna get in terms of internships, research projects, and placements. He talked to various alumni and his friends at NITIE to make sure he is making the right decision. The high quality of intellectual students and professors and the huge alumni base of 50+ years does make a lot of difference here.
Here are some highlights of NITIE that you may find helpful.
- Being one of the oldest Business Schools in the country. NITIE has a very rich heritage.
- NITIE has a great alumni base i.e great networking opportunities and support.
- NITIE has connections across the globe.

NITIE gave my brother an opportunity to present his research at the prestigious Stanford University and helped him land a Pre-Placement Offer in one of the biggest conglomerates of the country.
According to my brother’s experience, NITIE, IIM K, and IIMI are on the same level. You can select one of these institutes based on your branch preference. And if you are looking for a job in operation and supply chain management profile, then NITIE is even a better option than IIM A.

What is the student life like at NIT Surathkal?
One of my cousins shared his experience of life at NIT Surathkal. Here are some highlights of his delightful experience.
- It’s not very difficult to maintain a good CGPA at NIT Surathkal provided that you attend the tests and exams regularly.
- Boys have almost no time restrictions and they can roam around the campus even late at night.
- Your wingmates become your best friends. They become a group with whom you hang out, have lunch, study, and share your life problems with.
- The mess food is hardly edible so most students eat at NC or Night Canteen beyond midnight. NC gets crowded during late-night football matches.
- You can join clubs and connect with like-minded people. They provide the right platform to grow technically and socialize.
- Students visit the temple and also sit next to the beach for hours on the weekend enjoying the peaceful and serene view. This is a great stress buster from daily activities.
So, NIT Surathkal offers an excellent campus life which is a blend of both freedom and academics. You can enjoy the freedom and maintain a good GPA with minimal effort.
