Can civil graduates apply for MPlanning (Urban Planning) at NIT Calicut?

DK
Deepanshu Khanna Posted On : August 26th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2017)

Urban Planning at NIT Calicut, unlike other colleges, doesn't come under the Civil Engineering Department. The course has certain eligibility criteria:

You should have completed a four-year regular B.Tech or B.E. degree, or a five-year regular B. Arch degree or B.Planning with at least 60% marks in aggregate. In the case of the SC/ST category, this aggregate comes down to 55%.

The course is inclined towards the architecture and planning domain than the engineering domain and hence comes under the Department of Architecture and Planning.

NIT Calicut has the best mess food with ten possible options, which include North Indian, South Indian, Vegetarian, Non-Vegetarian, etc. You can switch from one to another based on your interests. The hostel’s mess food is contracted to private businesses; hence, there is high competition between them to provide delicious food to the students.

Which college has the best chemical engineering department in Kerala: GEC Thrissur, NIT Calicut or TKM College?

UK
Utkarsh Kumar Posted On : August 28th, 2021
B.Tech in Civil Engineer from Government Engineering College, Thrissur (2016)

You should have a clear idea of what you are going to pursue after the four years. This way you can focus on a particular college accordingly for your undergraduate degree. 

  1. If you are aspiring to get placed then go for NIT Calicut. Mostly 3 to 5 core companies often visit for chemical engineering branch with very decent packages.
  2. The campus life is worth living at NIT Calicut. You can enjoy various games at the hostel and special evening clubs are designed basically for holistic development. 
  3. Another factor that makes NIT Calicut stand out is the politically passive environment where you can fully concentrate on your academics and engross yourself in the academics-related clubs along with some co-curricular activities.

The only disadvantage that NIT Calicut has is the weak alumni network due to the newly formed campus as compared to GEC Thrissur.

Along with the placements, the brand name of NIT when added to your resume can help you immensely for your future professional life. So think twice and consider all the factors before taking final admissions.

How good is the internet connection at NIT, Calicut? Are there any restrictions?

SM
Shyamal Midatana Posted On : August 25th, 2021
MCA from National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

According to some of my friends studying at NIT Calicut, the internet service there is very good. But there are also some things you have to keep in mind about the internet usage, before getting admission in NIT Calicut. 

  • The first year students get no access to internet connection in the hostel. 
  • The students have to go to the Central Computing Center which is not far away from the hostel. 
  • It is a 5 min walk from the first year hostel.
  • Students get internet connection from the second year. 
  • The students access internet connection in NIT Calicut through an extensive fiber optic network spread over the whole campus. 
  • A total of 21 kilometers of optic fiber cable backboned with 50 routed internal networks. 
  • The connection is through 200 Mbps leased line connection from Reliance and BSNL.
  • Students get around 10 Mbps which is pretty decent speed and enough for the student to either watch something or play online games. 

As for the restrictions, torrents are restricted through an Internet Firewall Company named Fortiguard which is an excellent Internet Firewall. Some students use tunneling to use NIT Calicut’s internal server named Athena which is much faster than the LAN connection. For login you need a username and password provided by a CSE student.

NR
Nayantara Raman Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.Tech. in Mechanical, National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra (2017)

All the mentioned NITs are among the top engineering institutes in the country. Out of all the NITs in India, the best choice is NIT Rourkela. As some of my friends studied there I might be able to give you some reasons. These are:

  • NIT Rourkela is famous for its Chemical Branch. 
  • The research culture of the institute is outstanding.
  • The institute has been ranked 16th in the NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020. It is way above all the three institutes mentioned.
  • The JEE Main cut-offs are high. So, only the best students get a chance for admission. 
  • The college also encourages diversity.

The fee and chemical branch placement details are as follows.

Categories Chemical at NIT Rourkela
Fee INR 8.22 Lakhs
Minimum Package INR 3.6 LPA
Average Package INR 6.58 LPA
Highest Package INR 22 LPA

The top recruiters include L&T, Reliance, Tata, P&G, Parle, ACC Cement, Aditya Birla, IOCL, PGCIL, NTPC, GMR Energy, GlaxoSmithKline, and more.

Overall, NIT Rourkela is an excellent choice. After CSE and EC branches, the Chemical branch recorded the highest placements. The return on investment of college is decent. But you should opt for it only if you can deal with and function under strict regulations and laws.

Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

No, NIT Calicut does not have single occupancy for PG students as of now.

First Year – You will be accommodated in the professor’s apartment,t which consists of three rooms, one hall, and a kitchen. You need to share your room with at least three people, which may vary based on the number of students.

Second Year – The students will be shifted to MBA hostels, which are much like first-year apartments with an attached bathroom

So, you don’t have a chance to enjoy single-room life at NIT Calicut

The placement support at NIT Calicut in Production Engineering is not up to par. Core companies like Tata Motors, NRF, etc. do not encourage students from Production Engineering to sit for the placement. They are not considered equivalent to mechanical engineering by the major recruiters.
