Is NIT Calicut top 5 nits? Is NIT Calicut prestigious and reputed one? .iam leaving IIT and going to ECE at Calicut?is it a good decision?

SS

It’s for you to decide whether it is a good decision or not. But only CS or ECE at NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, or NIT Warangal or CS in other NITs such as Allahabad, Calicut, and Rourkela can be compared to IIT courses. 

NIT Calicut is prestigious. It does not come in the top 5 NITs, but it is definitely in the top 10. But you are only receiving ECE in NIT Calicut. So, you should think it through before leaving an IIT.

Make an informed decision. Otherwise, you will be sorry in four years. Finally, it is entirely up to you.

How is the grading system at NIT Calicut?

MS
Mohina Sharma Posted On : August 26th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

Currently, NIT Calicut follows a hybrid grading system. While some subjects follow absolute grading, some subjects follow relative grading. It depends on the subject and the professor teaching the particular subject. However, a subject can have only one kind of grading system.

The relative grading system followed by NIT Calicut is different from that followed at the IITs. It has nothing to do with the percentiles. The marks obtained by the top 5% - 10% of the students are given the top grade, i.e. S. All other students are given grades lower than them accordingly.

I will be shortly completing my B.Tech from NIT Calicut. I have a CGPA of 9. Is it better for me to join for M.Tech at IIT or MS from a foreign university?

KN

studied at National Institute of Technology, Calicut

It depends on your interests and your financial background. There are many reputed institutes in India where you can do your post-graduation. However, some institutes in the USA and Germany have an international reputation because of their technology and facilities. That is the reason why many graduates choose to do their MS from abroad. The availability of great placement opportunities is another reason. However, before deciding on anything, research the market trends in India as well as abroad to get an idea of the placement opportunities available.

Which is better, electrical at BITS, Pilani, Goa or NIT, Calicut?

AS
Abhinav Sengupta Posted On : April 15th, 2021
B.E (Hons) Chemical Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani - Pilani Campus (2017)

If you are financially stable, then you should prefer BTS Goa. NIT C has gotten worse in the following years. 

In NIT C, the students of some branches are getting back and the percentage of those back students are almost 50%. The environment of NIT C is hard to sustain and after being a Govt. Deemed University the faculty and students do whatever they feel like. Like one of the professors was given a warning after he was found guilty because of sexual harassment. 

NIT is known nationwide for the quality of students. It's not the Institute that makes a good student, it's rather the students that make an Institute good. The same is the case with NITs. If you want to join NIT, choose NIT Surathkal.

So, BITS is also a better option as compared to NIT Calicut which is as prestigious as IITs. One of the locations of BITS is Goa, which is indeed a dream destination for engineers. You will enjoy studying there. 

NIT Calicut has the cons mentioned above but not all the faculties are the same. Some of them are highly educated and decent.

How is power electronics branch scope from NIT Calicut?

RD
Raman Das Posted On : August 21st, 2021
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2017)

One of my friends is studying in the NIT Calicut Electronics department so I can give you insight into what opportunities lie in the Electronics branch.

  • If your college is at the same level as NITs, then pursuing Electronics from NIT Calicut would not be the right choice.
  • Doing the PG program from NIT Calicut will not be a good idea.
  • Even for Electronics Engineering UG students, it is difficult to get decent-paying jobs unless they join IT.
  • For PG students getting decent CTC, placement is also difficult.
  • Several students prepare for GATE and other exams to get good job opportunities.

Therefore, if you want to make your career in Electronics then choose good IITs. As Electronics is a vast field, you can try to focus on the specialization that will be useful in your career.

Which is better: NIT Durgapur Mechanical/Electrical or NIT Calicut Production Engineering in B.Tech?

SO
Sanya Oberoi Posted On : August 20th, 2021
MBA International Business, Supply Chain Management & Marketing, Symbiosis International University (2019)

Mechanical/Electrical Engineering is superior to Production Engineering because Mechanical engineers can apply for jobs in the field of Production, whereas Production engineers cannot apply for core Mechanical jobs.

So, instead of selecting Production, I will recommend Mechanical /Electrical at NIT Durgapur in this case. 

Here is a brief outline of NIT Durgapur. 

Average CTC  9 LPA 
Highest CTC  33 LPA 
Major recruiters  TCS, IEM, Vedanta, TATA IQ, etc. 
Course fee  5.56 lakhs

Choose between Mechanical and Electrical based on your interests.

What are placement opportunities of engineering physics from NIT Calicut?

VR
Vishwa Ramnath Posted On : August 24th, 2021
B.Tech Engineering Physics, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2018)

In terms of the research field, there are almost no placements opportunities in Engineering Physics at NIT Calicut. The only companies where you will be are allowed to apply for the placements are in the Consultancy services, Sales, etc. 

Basically, we can say that NIT Calicut has nothing to offer to the students of Physics. If you want a decent job, then you should work on your coding skills else, you will have to do the basic 8-7 jobs.

You can also apply for IIT JEE coaching institutes as these companies offer better salaries and less workload. If you wish to pursue higher studies in the future, you can get a side job at one of these coaching institutes and prepare for your entrance exams. This way you will be in touch with your subject and earn part-time.
