If you consider the official rankings, then NIT Warangal is better than NIT Calicut. But the reality is far from this. I don’t think the official rankings are credible enough to judge a college. Students need to consider other aspects also while choosing their college. For instance, proximity to home and the location of the college play a big role. That being said, Calicut is a great city with a good location. It has many places to explore such as restaurants and parks.
Students can also visit Goa which is quite close and enjoy short vacations on the beaches. good city and has some amazing restaurants. Also, Goa is nearby and so are many beach locations.
However, NIT Calicut has strict attendance criteria. So choose wisely!
For applied Physics, NIT Calicut will be a better option. You will learn how to analyze and solve real-world problems using Physics. NIT Calicut placements are good for Engineering Physics. The placement rate for the branch was around 60%. Students of the branch usually receive an average CTC of around INR 27 LPA.
IISER Pune is essentially a science institute. If you are more interested in learning the theoretical aspects of Physics, IISER will be the right place for you.
First of all, you need to understand what you want. Do you want higher education or a placement? Then ask yourself whether you want only computer science because you love the subject or simply because you want a good placement.

ENI and ECE are technically different branches but they are almost the same. Except for the high fee of BITS Pilani, I do not feel BITS Pilani or Goa campus is anything less worthwhile than NIT Calicut. In fact, if you want only placements, then BITS Pilani any campus should be your choice.
The facilities that you will get from Technology Business Incubator (TBI) at NIT Calicut are as follows.
In addition to this, you will also get
As of now there are thirteen incubate companies at TBI. Some of which are as follows.
So, these are the facilities that you will get from TBI at NIT Calicut.
In comparison to BITS Hyderabad’s EEE, NIT Calicut’s CSE, the latter would be considered a better option. However, it is entirely up to you whether you want to pursue IT jobs or electrical hardware jobs.

As I am not much familiar with BITS Hyderabad, I am not able to share details about the college. I had some of my friends graduating from NIT Calicut so I was able to share these details. Therefore, I believe CSE from NIT Calicut is the better option. You can interact with ex-students of BITS Hyderabad to get a proper overview of the college.
If you are a Civil student, my advice to you would be to prepare for the GATE exam once you are done with your degree. The placement is quite low for core companies. Many students also follow the same.
Chemical students are known to focus on jobs and have a good placement in analytics and software-based companies. Many of the top ones also land core jobs.
My suggestion would be to check the syllabus and pick the subject you like. You will realize which subject has good scope and what does not. As far as Civil is concerned, most students land jobs at L&T. But, they will make you work a lot and you will not be satisfied with the pay. This is not the case with Chemical engineering.
Chemical Engineering and ECE, both the branches are in demand. The major scope of Chemical Engineering is in chemical, food processing, pharma, medical industries, oil, and gas, etc.
The major scope of ECE is in android, mobile, and telecommunication. The majority of the students prefer ECE because of two reasons. The first reason being comfort. Secondly, after acquiring skills in programming languages, it is easy to switch to the IT or software field.
Here is a brief overview of CE at NIT Calicut and ECE at IIIT Jabalpur.
Institute | NIT Calicut | IIIT Jabalpur |
Average CTC | 11 LPA | 9.9 LPA |
Highest CTC | 43 LPA | 23 LPA |
Major recruiters | CISCO, Bosch, TATA Group | IBM, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft |
Course fee | 2.08 lakhs | 5.29 lakhs |
If you don’t have any particular inclination towards any branch you can go for ECE at IIIT Jabalpur.
One of my friends studied at NIT Calicut and as per him, NIT Calicut is actually great but only for boys.
The first year of college would be hard for everyone because the subjects would be different and tougher.
From the second year of college, the boys will not have any restrictions. They will have a lot of freedom. For girls, the hostel entry timing is 9 pm till night, it has recently been amended from 7 pm. Thus, it would not be so great for girls as they won’t have much freedom as compared to boys.
The academics are going to be hard and tough. There are a lot of rules and regulations, but the students don’t pay much attention. NIT Calicut is changing at a faster pace and it is all getting better. The campus has been expanding, the infrastructure is in progress.
Overall, it would be a great experience to study at NIT Calicut and it would be totally worth it.
For an MTech in VLSI, you should prefer IIT Gandhinagar. The course curriculum is research-oriented. Students usually have multiple publications during their MTech tenure. During the cohort, you will participate in many projects.
Almost everyone from the branch gets placed. According to IIT Gandhinagar placements, M.Tech VLSI students get salary packages in the range of INR 10-20 LPA.
All of the mentioned institutes are very reputed and considered among the top engineering colleges in India. The academics and course curriculum are the best with excellent placement opportunities. A lot of reputed companies are known to visit the campuses with decent salary packages.
Students take programming very seriously and practice it a lot as it is one of the necessary skills required to become a computer engineer. The companies select students based on their coding skills and knowledge rather than looking for academic credentials. You will be selected based on your profiles on GitHub and Topcoder. Salary packages range from 5-50 LPA depending on your skills and experience.
I have some friends who have become managers in computer engineering through personal learning and luck too. To rank these colleges, I would put NIT Calicut first, then NIT Surathkal and BITS Goa at last. The NITs are excellent and only the main campus of BITS Pilani is comparable to the NITs.
