One of my friends went to NIT Calicut and he was able to provide some information regarding admission at the institute. 

  • If you have completed your standard 12th or equivalent examination in India then for securing a seat at NIT Calicut, you need to appear for the JEE Mains entrance examination. 
  • The marks and cutoff greatly vary every year. It also depends on your Home state and Other state categories. If you are from Kerala then you will have a 50% reservation. Thus you will have good chances of getting admissions compared to Other state students.
  • In case you are an NRI and completed standard 12th equivalent abroad, you need to clear the SAT with a good score to get a seat at NIT Calicut. In addition to these, there are few seats reserved for the students of SAARC countries.
  • If you are from OBC/SC/ST category, you will have a lesser cut-off.

So, you should focus on your preparation to get a good score in JEE Mains in order to get admission at NIT Calicut.

Can I bring my laptop to NIT Calicut being a first year student?

NR
Neelima Roy Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2018)

According to the rules laid down by the college, you will not be allowed to get a laptop for the first year of your college but many bring laptops anyway. It will help you with your presentations, assignments as well as design. Your work will become quite simple and effective.

You can also use it for recreational purposes like watching movies, shows, and series. Over the weeks, the rule is relaxed pretty much and students will start getting their laptops to class over the second semester.

From the second year, the restriction will go away entirely. Although having a laptop in the first year is against the rules and regulations of the hostel, they don’t usually object if you bring one.

How is ragging at NIT Calicut?

PC
Puneet Cherian Posted On : August 27th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2020)

One of my friends is in his last year and hasn’t experienced anything related to ragging. Although there might be some fun interaction with the seniors but no extremities that hurt.

Here are some insights of NIT Calicut in the context of ragging.

Dress code ragging

  • Although earlier you needed to be careful about wearing fancy clothes and accessories, now it's not a thing. 
  • You can wear anything while being careful about your belongings which is common in every college.

Physical abuse

  • In the past incidents of beating up were heard but now due to proper affidavit and law enforcement, you won’t face anything like that. 
  • If you are a fresher you might be asked to dance or do sit ups, etc. 
  • Sometimes the seniors will tell you to address them as Sir’s and Maam’s.
  • However, if you see anything is going out of hand, a complaint can be lodged anytime and strict action will be taken.

Academic performance

  • Sometimes you will find seniors asking you to do their assignments, bunk classes, or not to take any part in any club activities, etc. 
  • On the contrary, you can also find seniors who do not let you go out of track and prepare you for the upcoming workload.

My friend has done assignments and called his seniors sir but nothing more than that. Nobody is forced to do anything if somebody does then he will be subjected to strict punishments as mentioned above. Even the assignment thing doesn’t last for long as there have been many instances where teachers could identify the handwriting and many students have been caught in this act. So, you can relax as there are no chances for extreme ragging or bullying of any kind.

Which is better, NIT Patna CSE or NIT Calicut civil?

AB
Aritra Baig Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.Tech. in IT from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2020)

This will entirely depend on your interest as you are comparing two different colleges and two different branches. If you are interested in one particular branch, don’t decide between the two colleges as they are both NITs.

You should first see where your interest lies and choose an option accordingly. If you are not sure, I will suggest you take CS in NIT Patna which is the better option. Here are the recent placement highlights for NIT Patna. 

Average CTC  8.8 LPA 
Highest CTC  43 LPA 
Top recruiters  Adobe, TCS, Infosys, Amazon, Oneplus, etc. 

Regarding civil engineering, let me tell you that even if you land up at an NIT, you will have to prepare for GATE or ESE exams since the placement scenario is not that great.

With civil engineering, you will have to do a lot of hard work but with CSE, you will be able to enjoy college life and get good placements at the end of your degree unlike civil. 

In the end, it boils down to your interests and what you are looking for.
