Both shows have the profoundly important and mightily depressing subject matter of the human race's survival hundreds of years in the future. The future civilisations in each show are very different from one another, but they both face the problem of tensions and/or conflicts between species that have come to exist since our present, not to mention further issues regarding the corruption of human governments and establishments. What's also important to mention is that both shows have an element of scientific mystery; as you watch you'll find out more and more about the new creatures that inhabit the Earth through the characters' own investigations.

Both are anime that are set in the future where the state of humanity was worse, a distopia.
Both anime are set in a false utopia, and as the story progresses, the protagonists learn more about the cruel secrets of their respective worlds. Plus, Shingeki no Kyojin has a similar thrilling effect to Shinsekai Yori.

Both shows are set in an alternative timeline/world in a post-apocalyptic setting after an incident that threatens humans to near extinction. In response, dystopian societies are created that use questionable means to ensure humanity's survival. Both have dark undertones with depressing subject matter that raises moral dilemmas. If you enjoyed SnK for its psychological aspects and not as another shounen action anime, you will definitely enjoy Shinsekai Yori.

Though SSY is a bit slower paced and less action packed, both shows are about main characters slowly unraveling the (horrible) truth about the closed off world they live in. Both have pretty shocking twists as well.
Both have secrets about the humanity and the whole world. In both are tragic horribly things that happened in the past, that are hidden now and that we will see later when they grow up. In both are things that just cant be changed like the right and wrong is uncertain, it's brutally and real.
