Why do people from Kozhikode prefer Mangalore for education despite having IIM and NIT?
Yes, despite having IIM and NIT, Kozhikode residents prefer Mangalore for education. That could be due to Mangalore's studious-yet-stress-free environment.
That could be due to Mangalore's studious-yet-stress-free environment. People in Mangalore differ from the nerds at IIM, IIT, or NIT who are always studying. There's also a disciplined approach to life there. They eat when they need to, sleep when they are required to, study when they have to, and have fun when it is possible. Unlike the IIM nerds, who have no concept of fun or sleep and keep on studying even while doing other stuff.
To get into IIM or NIT, you must work extremely hard, as nearly 60% of the brightest students in India aspire to attend IIM/NIT. As a result, there is intense competition. The exam is entirely merit-based (in addition, seat reservations are aplenty).
