Here is my experience of staying at NIT Calicut as a North Indian-

1. Climate- Kozhikode experiences extreme showers during monsoon season. If you belong to a place where it rarely rains, you will find it even more difficult to adjust to the climate. During summers, scorching heat is accompanied by humidity. Standing under direct sunlight will drench you in sweat.
2. Food- The mess food is not good but the vicinity has some restaurants that serve decent food. However, their North Indian meals are not good. The city does have some Punjabi restaurants which will not disappoint you.Non-vegetarians have plenty of mouth-watering delicacies to choose from, but vegetarians have limited food options. I highly recommend shakes from the mini canteen.
3. Language- The localities, especially auto drivers, speak only Malayali. Therefore, you will face some inconvenience. Inside the campus, however, people speak and understand English clearly. They can also understand (but not speak) Hindi.

You will feel culture shock when you first arrive at NIT Calicut. But as time goes by, you will start loving this place and your college.

I am a student of VNIT Nagpur. 

According to me, It is important to highlight the negative aspects of my college. They are-

1. VNIT has the highest hostel fee among all IITs and NITs, and it increases every 1-2 years.
2. The college administration is not responsible or student friendly at all. 
3. The student council simply communicates official orders from the administration to students.This is because its members are selected by the administration itself.
4. The clubs aren’t provided proper funds. Even the tech and cultural fest aren’t financially supported by the college.
5. M.Tech placements are very poor because the professors do not permit industrial training.
6. The Training and Placement Cell charges extra money, other than the TnP charges mentioned by the college. 
7. The professors are allotted subjects of which they don’t even have an expertise.
8. No leaves are given for internships at prestigious universities like CMU, MIT, and Stanford.
9. The refundable caution money is not given back. 

VNIT is a well known institute. However, its administration has failed the students. A lot of changes need to be made in the functioning of this college.

The first year at your dream medical college can be very overwhelming and dreamy during the initial days. It will take you a little time to actually digest the fact that you have made it to MAMC. However, you should bear in mind the fact that you will be exposed to tough challenges and life may not seem as dreamy as you expected. You might even question your own existence and your dream to become a doctor. You must learn to undertake the stress and give your 100%. You need to achieve your goal now that you are in your dream college!

No, it's not true that professors in NIT Trichy, Calicut, and other South Indian schools teach in Malayalam or other regional languages. Most of the teachers are proficient in English and classes are conducted in that medium only. Occasionally some professors out of habit may speak a word or two in their regional language but it is not a requirement or the norm.

The official medium of instruction in these institutions is typically English. However, it's possible that, in some cases, professors may use regional languages as a teaching aid to help students understand complex technical concepts better.

NIT Durgapur is older than 60 years and most of its infrastructure is in ruins. The condition of hostels and laboratories is pathetic but the overall situation is in control and no major obstacle is experienced in academics. NIT Durgapur has a relatively smaller campus than other colleges. So it's better organized too. Currently, new hostels are being constructed and academic buildings are being renovated. The campus still is lacking in terms of high-tech amenities. For example most colleges have an e-library, and NIT Durgapur has an old and small library. There are two playgrounds that are hardly functional.

NIT Durgapur has a visually pleasing campus surrounded by lush greenery. The campus has its pros and cons. In the end, the size of the campus does not determine your career but your passion does!

It is not about MANIT Bhopal or any other institute, it is about the branch. Mechanical is considered to be a tough branch, so girls usually steer away from opting for it. This is mainly because of the advice given by elders, and some age old perceptions.

As an alumnus of MANIT B.Tech Mechanical, I would like to share my experiences with you. I was the only girl in my entire batch. However, I never felt left out. In fact, I made some really good friends, and became famous as the only girl in my batch. 

The faculty is cooperative, and it entirely depends on how well you interact with them. The placements are good, and girl students get an advantage in some respects. You’ll learn to handle a lot of situations on your own, and you won’t be roasted much during labs and vivas as the professors have a soft corner for the very few girls in the batch. You’ll bond with people from the other branches quite easily. 

My journey as a Mechanical student was filled with ups and downs. I made precious memories at the department which I will cherish for lifetime.

Getting admission to Manipal Institute of Technology is like stepping into a whole new world. You will be amazed by the diversity of the crowd here. Some will be geniuses while some just average students. The climate changes very frequently from extreme heat to a torrent of rain. The campus as a whole is seen as ECE and picturesque. Here are a few highlights of the institute

• Apart from its top-notch education, it’s well known for its Student Project Teams and Clubs. The institute has bagged many prizes in sports, dramatics, and robotics.
• The facilities are top-notch and classes have centralized air conditioning. 
• The laboratories are well-equipped with modern instruments giving ample opportunities for research work. 
• Students are required to maintain 75% attendance. 
• The central library has it all from e-subscriptions, Journals, and magazines, to novels or references.
• The institute has many canteens, messes, and restaurants around, so food and hygiene should be your last concern here.
• The accommodation facilities are one of the best in the country. Students are provided with single-AC rooms and attached bathrooms as well as triple-non-AC rooms and common bathrooms. You can choose your hostel block depending on your budget and preferences.
• The hostel rooms are cleaned every alternate day; there are no issues related to laundry, electricity, or water supply.

Overall, MIT Manipal is a great place to be!
