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.
So you won’t be disappointed with the food at NIT Calicut.
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.
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.
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.
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.
NIT Calicut cutoffs for the Home State students are lower than students of other States have better chances. The cutoffs for the first round of General Category Home State Studentsbis given below

Based on the above table, you can get branches like Civil, Material Science, Production, Biotechnology, Chemical, Engineering Physics, and Mechanical Engineering with your rank in the first round. For better branches like EEE and ECE, you can go for the subsequent rounds.
Most top rankers go for IITs, BITS, and some other top NITs. So considering your decent rank, you will have a better chance to get admission to NIT Calicut. If you still have any second chances, prepare for JEE Advanced too because your Mains AIR is great and you might even get into an IIT.
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:
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.
The first-year boys are allotted three or four shared rooms in both hostels A and B. The hostel for girls is allotted at LH blocks two and four. Usually, hostel rooms are fixed on the first day of admission based on the admission order.
NIT Calicut offers decent hostel accommodations. The rooms are double or triple sharing. The institute offers basic amenities such as beds, cupboards, and tables. Hostel rooms have adequate lighting and ventilation. Bathrooms are shared by several rooms. Rooms and washrooms are cleaned regularly. The mess facilities are good. They offer a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.
M.Tech students aren’t offered single occupancy rooms, by NIT Calicut.
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.
