Overall, NIT Calicut offers a great CS program.
Every coin has two sides and likewise, every college you join will have its unique strengths and weaknesses. Knowing these beforehand helps you manage things and prepares you better. So here are a few pros and cons one must be aware of before joining ECE at NIT Calicut
Pros
Cons
Overall, the NIT Calicut ECE department will bring in a number of challenges but if you are interested in the branch you will get to experience an unmatched learning environment and opportunities.
It depends on you. All three colleges are good in terms of alumni and placements. But, there lies a competition between NIT Calicut and BITS.
Although both have been in existence for a long time now, are excellent colleges, both have a good brand value, one gives you a tag of a NITian and the other gives you a tag of a BITSian, the difference lies in their ranking and placement records.
NIT C is among the top 4 NITs in our country. If we consider the ECE department, it is almost at the same level as NIT Trichy. The average placement for circuit branches is around 12 LPA and the highest placement might go above 30 LPA. Additionally, a higher number of companies recruit from NIT C. BITS Pilani, Goa also provides great placements and good courses. The average CTC offered at BITS Goa is 5 LPA. Apart from infrastructure and attendance policy, other things are similar.
However, PSU visits the NIT Calicut campus during placement drives. A student of the ECE department can sit during the IT placement which is difficult in BITS if you do not take some specific courses.
Both the colleges have certain merits and demerits. The distinguishing factor can be the fee structure. If money is not a concern for you, you can go for BITS Goa but for middle-class students, NIT C would be the best option.
NIT Calicut does not offer a cinema theater as it doesn't even offer the basic facilities which any other Institute offers easily.
The condition of NIT Calicut is elaborated below.
With such bad facilities, a theatre room is not even expected.
It is difficult to adjust to the hostel food at NIT Calicut, especially for students outside Kerala. Even though you have the option to change from one mess to another monthly based on your preference, which is interesting for the first few months, gradually you will end up bored with the food and start feeling like all the ten options for food are almost the same.
There are various grounds on which these two colleges compete and there are various parameters on which the colleges should be analyzed before making the final decision.
The following are certain points that will hopefully help you with your analysis:

NIT Allahabad has less diversity because most of the students belong to the northern states. But, at NIT Calicut you will find students from every part of the country; from Kerala to Himachal to Arunachal Pradesh to Gujarat. Hence, it is largely diversified.
My brother used to be a student of NIT Calicut and his favorite teacher was Prof Prem Raj P from the School of Biotechnology, NIT Calicut. He has an analytical mind and is a master at problem-solving.
He is an exceptional teacher in the department. He is a very hardworking person who takes the responsibility of creating a competitive environment for everyone to thrive. He made teaching very effective by explaining the concepts in a more interactive way and made the classes interesting. He has the skills to be a team leader and is a role model for the students.
He has brought changes in curricular and innovation in life science programs and he is very ethical at work. He also made excellent contributions to the course by sharing his insights and actively participating in discussion.
There are no strict dress codes that are enforced on the students at NIT Calicut. They can wear whatever they like, according to their interests, but it should confirm the Indian cultural concept and descent. The Institute does not encourage informal dresses like trousers and shorts.
A lot of my friends studied at NIT Calicut. According to them the best branch for B.Tech at NIT Calicut would be Computer Science and Engineering. There are some reasons as to why they selected CSE.
Categories | CSE from NIT Calicut |
Course Fee | 5.42 lakh |
Highest CTC | 24 LPA |
Average CTC | 15-18 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Cognizant, IBM, Infosys, Wipro, etc. |
Also if you opt for CSE you will have the upper hand in learning coding unlike other departments, where to learn proper coding they have to take up additional classes. CSE is considered to be the most sorted out course both theoretically and practically.
One of my friends was a part of NIT Calicut and elaborated on the situation. Here is what he says.
As he mentions, the rules and regulations of NIT Calicut have not witnessed many changes in the past few years. This means, during the first year, students generally can not bring laptops as is stated in the rulebook. But, there are a reasonable number of students who still bring their respective laptops from the beginning of the first year.
The first-year hostels for the boys do not possess LAN facilities. However, there might be facilities of the same in the girl’s hostel since it is a combined complex accommodated by students of each year.
Although the rules state otherwise, you can still bring your laptop in the first year.
