THE INSTITUTE:

National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK) Surathkal, formerly known as Karnataka Regional Engineering College (KREC) Surathkal, was established in the year 1960 at Srinivasnagar, Mangalore Karnataka.  Shri U. Srinivasa Mallya, a visionary and a philanthropist was instrumental in the establishment of this Institute and hence the campus is named after him as “Srinivasnagar”. KREC made a small yet significant beginning with 3 Departments offering BE programs in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Since then KREC grew from strength to strength and set unprecedented records in the field of technical education in the country. Currently, the Institute offers ten B. Tech programmes, 31 Post Graduate programmes (MBA, MCA, MSc. M. Tech. and M. Tech(Research)) and Doctoral programmes in all its fourteen Departments (www.nitk.ac.in). Further, NITK Surathkal is making significant advances in R&D and outreach activities in terms of collaborations with other Institutes of repute in India as well as abroad.  

Government of India decided to grant full autonomy and accordingly the College was elevated to the status of Deemed University and renamed as the National Institute of Technology Karnataka. Subsequently, the National Institute of Technology Act, 2007 was enacted by the Parliament of India to declare India’s National Institutes of Technology as Institutes of National Importance. The Act received the assent of the President of India on June 5, 2007 and became effective from August 15, 2007. The Institute is governed by the rules and statutes of the NIT Act.

The Institute has established itself as a premier center engaged in imparting quality technological education and providing support to research and development activities. 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. In last two years, the aggregate placement in percentage has been >90 for the B. Tech. graduates. All of the nine B. Tech. programmes are accredited by the National Board of Accreditation.
