Yes, there is internal sliding in NIT Calicut. For the M.Tech course, students get the chance for internal sliding during or before the college spot round. For the B.Tech course, usually, the students are given a chance for internal sliding after their first year.

However, there are conditions to change your branch from one to another at NIT Calicut –

  • You should have a minimum CGPA of 8.0 to remain eligible for the internal sliding process.
  • A maximum of two people can come and go out in a particular branch.

Contact your program coordinator to know the details of internal sliding at NIT Calicut. I hope this answered your question.

Should I choose NIT Calicut CSE or IIT BHU chemical Engineering?

SB
Sumit Barua Posted On : August 27th, 2021
B.Tech from Jadavpur University (2021)

If you are interested in coding and aim to work in good corporate firms, then it is suggested that you go for CSE at NIT Calicut. But if you want an IIT tag, you can opt for IIT BHU. But this won't matter much afterward.

So, if you are focused on doing research then Chemical Engineering at IIT BHU will be a good option. You can also learn coding on the sidelines, which might be beneficial if you sit for placements.

Parametres CSE at NIT Calicut Chemical Engineering at IIT BHU
Tuition Fee INR 16,000 INR 6.7 LPA
Placement Percentage 73.5% 71%
Average Package INR 11.57 LPA INR 16.27 LPA

The choice of studying in a college pursuing a particular subject is entirely up to you. Check where your strengths and weaknesses lie and then choose accordingly. Both institutes are good in their own way. But it is your hard work and dedication that will prove if CSE or Chemical will be good for you.

How good is NIT Trichy or Calicut for my ESE preparation during an MTech?

RK
Rupali Kaur Posted On : September 10th, 2021
M.Tech Electronics Design And Technology, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

According to one of my friends' experiences, preparing for M.Tech along with your studies is very difficult. Often you do not get stipulated time to prepare for ESE due to the mini-projects and assignments that you get very frequently. 

Also, you need to especially take care of your CGPA, but if you are not worried about the CGPA you can go ahead with preparing at the full pace like few other students who do the same.

Thus, we can conclude that preparing for ESE simultaneously is really a very big task. If you have the caliber of doing the same, you can follow your will and start accordingly.

DS
Devesh Saraf Posted On : April 25th, 2023
Studied at NIT Calicut

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is a challenging and demanding course offered at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut, one of the premier engineering institutions in India. If you are passionate about Electronics and Communication and willing to devote most of your time to your studies, then ECE can be an excellent choice for you. However, it's essential to consider a few things before you decide to pursue this course.

Here are some pros and cons of pursuing ECE at NIT Calicut:

  • ECE is a challenging and rigorous course that requires a strong foundation in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. You should have a genuine interest in these subjects and a keen desire to explore their applications in electronics and communication.
  • ECE at NIT Calicut is known for its academic rigor, and you should be prepared to put in long hours of study and hard work to keep up with the pace. The course curriculum includes theory, practical, and research components that require a high level of concentration and dedication.
  • If you are interested in co-curricular activities or want to pursue hobbies other than studies, you may find it challenging to balance your time between them and ECE. It's crucial to prioritize your goals and manage your time effectively to avoid burnout or stress.
  • ECE assignments and projects can be time-consuming and require a lot of effort and attention to detail. You should be prepared to work independently or in a team, meet deadlines, and present your work in a professional manner.
  • Despite its challenges, ECE at NIT Calicut offers excellent career opportunities in various sectors such as telecommunications, software development, consumer electronics, defense, and research. The placement record of the department is good, and many top companies visit the campus to recruit students. However, the number of core companies in ECE may be less compared to other branches like computer science, IT, or mechanical engineering.
  • Apart from academic and career prospects, you should also consider your personal interests and values before deciding to pursue ECE. If you have a natural inclination towards electronics and communication, enjoy problem-solving, and have a curious and creative mind, then ECE can be an exciting and rewarding course for you.

In conclusion, ECE at NIT Calicut can be a challenging but fulfilling course for students who are passionate about electronics and communication and willing to invest their time and effort in it. However, you should be aware of its demands and potential drawbacks and make an informed decision based on your interests, goals, and capabilities.

Why isn't Microsoft visiting the NIT Calicut for campus placements?

SM
Shubham Mehta Posted On : August 28th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2020)

Microsoft has introduced a program namely DreamSpark by partnering with more than 80 institutions. With this initiative, the students are trained on Microsoft tools so that they can completely understand everything. Students enrolled in these institutions will already have hands-on experience in the industry.

NIT Calicut, however, has its policy where most of the software is used from the open-source domain and students are encouraged to contribute for the same through FOSSMeet activities. 

If Microsoft hires students from FOSSMeet it would be a great loss as the entire time would be wasted to train them.

By not being trained according to the norms and policies of Microsoft, the company usually does not visit NIT Calicut for placements.

Which NIT is better, Nagpur or Calicut?

KJ
Kunal Jha Posted On : August 20th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology (NIT), Kanpur (2020)

There are many aspects to this answer. If you are from South India then go for NIT Calicut. It has a reputation for good placement records. Here are the placement statistics for both NIT Calicut and VNIT Nagpur.

Parameters  NIT Calicut  VNIT Nagpur 
Average CTC  11.58 LPA  3.3 LPA 
Highest CTC  49 LPA  22 LPA 
Major recruiters  HDFC, Nokia, AESL, Bosch, etc.  FCA, Goldman Sachs, L&T Infotech, etc. 

If you are not from South India, then choose according to your convenience. Don’t choose Calicut over Nagpur as it is not an easy place to live in for four years. If you like a lot of alone time then Calicut will be suitable for you. Nagpur is in central India. So, you will have easy connectivity to your home town. VNIT is located in the middle of the city. You will enjoy your stay there. 

Both are good institutes. Choose according to the proximity.
