One of my friends went to NIT Calicut and he was able to provide some information regarding admission at the institute.
So, you should focus on your preparation to get a good score in JEE Mains in order to get admission at NIT Calicut.
NIT Calicut is a prestigious college. It has been ranked 23rd in the NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020. All these rankings depend on various factors.
In NIRF Ranking, graduation outcome, perception, teaching, learning & resources, outreach & inclusivity and others get analyzed. Some of these parameters are essential to make a decision, and some are irrelevant for the students.
However, NIT Calicut is one of the top choices for admission by JEE Main aspirants after NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal, and NIT Allahabad. NIT Calicut is famous for its CSE and ECE branches.
You should go for PEC Chandigarh Mechanical. The institute offers decent placements and career opportunities. The placement rate for Mechanical is around 90%. Companies visiting PEC Chandigarh placements recruit students in both core and non-core profiles. The salary packages offered are in the range of INR 3.6 LPA - 22 LPA.
Also, Production is a niche branch. The career opportunities available in the production field are limited compared to the Mechanical field.
Choosing between NIT Calicut and NIT Allahabad (MNNIT) depends on various factors such as your personal preferences, academic goals, and career aspirations. Both institutes are well-known and reputed engineering colleges in India and offer excellent academic programs and placement opportunities. Here are some key differences between the two institutes that can help you make an informed decision:
In conclusion, both NIT Calicut and MNNIT Allahabad are excellent engineering institutes, and choosing between the two depends on your personal preferences and academic goals. You may want to consider factors such as the program of your choice, campus facilities, placement opportunities, and location before making a decision.
IIIT Hyderabad CSD would be a better option between the two if you like to study Computer Science as per the standards of US Universities. Otherwise, you can go for NIT Calicut CSE.
However, you should make the decision on your personal preference.
I have a few friends from NIT Calicut and they talk about how great the coding culture is on campus. Here is what I gathered from my conversation with them.
You will be able to explore a lot in NIT Calicut if you are interested in Coding.
After doing some research on the internet, I finally came to a conclusion that NIT Calicut is considered among the top 5 NITs and IIIT Allahabad is the best IIITs, that is IIITH and IIITB. Let me mention some facts that you should know about.
Categories | NIT Calicut | IIIT Allahabad |
Course Fee | 5.48 lakhs | 5.41 lakhs |
Highest CTC | 24 LPA | 28 LPA |
Average CTC | 8-10 LPA | 12 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Amazon, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Tata Motors, etc. | Google, Amazon, Flipkart, Goldman Sachs, etc. |
According to the reviews online, I got to know that both are equally good institutes. You can opt to study in any of the institutes, as they are both prestigious and reputed institutes.
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.
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
Physical abuse
Academic performance
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.
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.
