NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KARNATAKA, SURATHKAL

1. The Institute: The National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal is rated as one of the top technological universities in India. Since its inception in 1960 as the Karnataka Regional Engineering College, the Institute has established itself as a premier center engaged in imparting quality technological education and providing support to research and development activities. The Institute has a long tradition of research for several years in both traditional and modern areas of engineering and sciences in all departments. The Institute has been actively involved in applicative research in looking at and resolving problems faced by the society in several areas like environment, water resources, rock mechanics, new structures, VLSI, etc. NITK attracts students from all over the country and abroad. The Institute admits students to the B.Tech degree program on the basis of the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE). International students are admitted on various student exchange programs through MEA, ICCR, etc. and scheme of Direct Admission to Students Abroad (DASA). Scholarship seats for M.Tech programs are awarded on the basis of the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) and a few seats are available for sponsored students. Every year the Institute offers more than 50 Ph D fellowships and also admits sponsored/external candidates to the doctoral program. NITK graduates are sought after by top industries/companies and the Institute has been rated as one of the best Institutions in the country with regard to student placements.

2. Location: NITK is located in Mangalore City along the Kanyakumari-Mumbai National Highway 66. It is well connected by road, rail and by air to major cities in India and a few international destinations. The Institute is located amid 300 acres of sylvan surroundings with the picturesque Western Ghat Mountains on the east and the sun-kissed sands of the Arabian sea to the west. The Mangalore (Bajpe) airport and the Mangalore Railway Station are about 20 KMs. away from the Campus, while Surathkal Railway Station is about 3 KMs. away from the campus. The campus is located far away from the din and bustle of a city and is very conducive for academic activities. The climate throughout the year is equitable and has temperature range of 18 to 38 Celsius. The campus being on the sea shore, is blessed with clean air and healthy climate. 3. Self-Contained Residential Campus: The Institute is a residential Institution with adequate hostel facilities for boys and girls. All the students are expected to stay in the Institute hostels. To suit the tastes of the students from different regions, independent messes of various types are run in different hostels.The amenities include 11 Hostel blocks for boys & 8 hostel blocks for ladies with all basic amenities. A good number of faculty quarters provide ample opportunity to draw upon benefits of corporate life. Vast stretches of play fields, an International standard swimming pool, a gymnasium, a central library, a well equipped Health Care Centre, post office, branches of State Bank of India and Canara Bank, both with A.T.M facilities and two canteens are the amenities available. N.C.C. and N.S.S. constitute two more prominent extra-curricular activities in addition to music, photography, web enthusiast and dramatic clubs of the Institute. 4. Computing Facilities and Campus Network: NITK has a campus wide network spanning the entire campus academic buildings, guest houses, student hostels and campus residences. Each department has its own LANs connected to this network. These LANs have adequate number of computers to cater to the needs of the department. In addition, two LANs are provided in the CCC which are accessible after the office hours and on weekends. The campus network uses 12 core optical fibre cabling for inter building connectivity with 1Gbps speed depending on the no. of computers in the end point LANs. Intra departmental and Hostel LANs are Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps). Residences are as a DSL (broad band) network with ADSL2 technology (8Mbps downlink, 1Mbps uplink). This network is being expanded to include more residences. The Institute has 24 x 7 Internet connectivity. The present band width is 34 Mbps which is being expanded to meet the demand. The journals subscribed through INDEST consortium are available throughout the campus LAN. The Institutes network operations and data centre are in CCC. These are kept alive round the clock. At present, 20 servers are available in the data centre to provide the network based services. The Server capacity is being expanded to support the additional demand of email and web services to all faculty and students. The institute is expected to be included in the National Knowledge Network (under NMEICT) soon. The institute hosts the NPTEL video and text lessons in its service for the Campus Network.

5. Library Facilities: The Institute Library functions from 8.00 A.M to 12.00 midnight from Monday to Saturday, from 8.00 A.M. to 4.00 P.M. on Sunday and from 9.00 to 12.00 noon on General Holidays.
