The National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK),

Surathkal is located in Mangalore City, Karnataka State,

India. Surathkal was earlier a small coastal town but with

rapid growth of the city, it is now included within the city

limits of Mangalore. Mangalore is the headquarters of the

coastal District of Dakshina Kannada and boasts of being an

important centre of business and trade in Karnataka State.

The presence of an all-weather major port at Mangalore

has seen rapid industrial growth in the hinterland covering

large parts of Karnataka and extending up to the state

capital, Bangalore. Mangalore has also been ear marked for

establishment of Special Economic Zones and Information

Technology Parks. Dakshina Kannada District boasts of

100% literacy and is well known for its educational

institutions. Mangalore is a popular tourist destination and

is well known for pristine beaches, temples and unique

cuisine.

Sri U. Srinivasa Mallya, a visionary and a philanthropist

contributed immensely to the development of the coastal

region of Karnataka. Among the many achievements to his

credit, his effort towards establishment of the Karnataka

Regional Engineering College (now NITK) at Surathkal is

probably the most significant one. In recognition of his role

as the founder and architect of NITK, the campus is named

after him as 'Srinivasnagar'.

The National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal has established itself as one of the top technological institutions in

India and richly deserved recognition as an Institute of National Importance under the NIT Act 2007. Accreditation of all our academic

programs by NBA; many with the highest rating, recognition as a QIP Centre, initiation and operationalization of MoUs with several

national and international institutions, more competitive student admissions and improved performance of students in examinations

are achievements that bear testimony to our commitment to maintain quality in all processes

and systems.

NITK is making sustained efforts towards consolidation of the state-of-the-art infrastructural

facilities for teaching and research, attracting highly qualified and motivated staff into the

existing pool and ensuring availability of all other amenities necessary for imparting globally

relevant technological education. A research culture is taking shape in the Institute through

enhanced R & D activities, creation of centres for interdisciplinary research, establishment of

industry-sponsored chairs, stronger interface with industry, alumni and a special focus on new

post-graduate and doctoral programs.

In commemoration of 50 years of glorious existence, NITK is celebrating its Golden Jubilee during August 2009-August 2010.

As part of these celebrations a large number of academic and technical events showcasing the expertise/talent of our
