How is Chemical Engineering at NIT Calicut in terms of faculty, facilities and placements?

CB
Charulata Bose Posted On : August 25th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

It is really exciting that people are interested in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. There are many other topics in chemical engineering that you will start loving when you start reading them. 

If you are genuinely interested in the subject then it will completely be your effort in approaching the professors to learn and to study more. 

There are not many professors in the department. Most of them are Ad-hoc teachers who will be teaching the subject. If you wish to go for higher studies, it will be your effort in asking the faculty to help you out. 

Category NIT Calicut
Total Fee 5.42 lakhs
Companies Visited Oracle, Hindustan Unilever, GlaxoSmithKline, Cipla, etc.
Highest Package 49.75 LPA
Average Package 12-15 LPA

If you talk about the placement scenario, there are only a few core companies that visit the campus along with a lot of non-core companies. Overall, college life is good in the department of chemical engineering.

Why are the placements for B.Tech Civil Engineering so low in NIT Calicut?

DS
Devesh Saraf Posted On : April 10th, 2023
Studied at NIT Calicut

The following are some possible reasons why the placements for B.Tech Civil Engineering may be relatively low compared to other branches at NIT Calicut.

  1. Limited job opportunities: Civil engineering is a field that relies heavily on the government and public sector for job opportunities. Therefore, if there are fewer job openings in the public sector, it may result in lower placements for civil engineering students.
  2. Specialization: Civil engineering is a vast field with many specializations. It's possible that the students specializing in certain areas within civil engineering, such as construction management or structural engineering, have better job prospects than those in other areas.
  3. Regional demand: The demand for civil engineers can vary depending on the region. It's possible that the job market for civil engineering in the region where NIT Calicut is located is not as strong as in other regions.
  4. Economic conditions: The economic conditions of the country can also affect the job market for civil engineers. During an economic downturn, there may be a decrease in construction activity and infrastructure projects, which can lead to lower job opportunities for civil engineering graduates.

It's important to note that these are just possible reasons and may not necessarily be the only factors affecting the placement statistics of B.Tech Civil Engineering at NIT Calicut.

What is the dress code of girls in NIT Calicut?

RS
Riya Sharma Posted On : September 13th, 2021
Civil Engineering at NIT Calicut (2020)

There is no particular dress code for the classes. However, there are other necessities every student has to follow otherwise. The regulations include wearing shirts and denim for the labs of the electrical department. 

Girls of the class are asked to go by the same rule, including rolling their hair up and wearing recommended shoes. While working in labs, lab coats are a must. 

In any case whatsoever, since it is an educational premise, every student is generally asked not to wear dresses that can be deemed inappropriate.

Do you think the NIT Calicut hostel is good?

RB
Rishav Bhuniya Posted On : March 26th, 2021
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2020)

One of my friends once shared his experiences considering the Hostel of NIT Calicut, whether it is good or bad or anything, but the student must be prepared to incident all kind of things at the time of staying in the hostel.

  • There are 4 people in one room, specifically in the first year, second year, and third year. However, it is fine and can be accepted.
  • The hostel rooms of NIT Calicut are prepared for 3 accommodations only, that in a room, 3 students can stay; there are 3 beds with proper spacing in the room, 3 cupboards, and charging points.
  • My friend told me that the college administration might try to bring all the students very close to each other to increase unity. The reason behind this thinking is that 4 students are staying in one single room, although the accommodation is for 3 students in each room.

You might be given a basic crash course regarding the student's body language. This will help you to understand the language spoken by hostel guards and managers as they were from Kerala and speak in Malayalam. Thus, the students from North India and Andhrapradesh (Telegu) must be ready to face this issue in the hostel.

There is always an electricity problem is a hostel, and a student has to use their own mobile data to perform their academics and assignment. Because no electricity means no internet, no fan, no light, and this is very common in the hostel of NIT Calicut. Students may face 2 nights without electricity.

How is production engineering at nit calicut?

SS
Shaurya Singh Posted On : March 25th, 2021
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2018)

You must know what you are getting yourself into. The mechanical engineering department of NITC offers 2 BTech courses that are Mechanical and Production. Both of these departments share faculties, labs, some courses, and other facilities. But at the end of the day, both are different courses.

There are two types of people seen in Production Engineering at NITC:

  1. Students who wanted to study mechanical, but didn’t have the rank for it or could only get mechanical at other NITs. Production is after all similar to mechanical.
  2. Students who didn’t have an appropriate rank to choose a branch/college of their choice, but still wanted to study in an NIT.

There are few things that students commonly felt during their days:

  • Students are often seen saying that they should get mechanical equivalent certificates. There is no purpose in saying this as they are two different branches.
  • Students also complain that teachers are biased. Few teachers refrain from teaching students from production batches. Mechanical batches are taught mostly by permanent faculty while production batches get guest faculties.
  • There are very few placement opportunities for Production batches in comparison with Mechanical. Core companies are even fewer.
  • The students of Production are often isolated from other batches of students. They are allotted spare rooms.

Categories

Production Engineering at NIT Calicut

Course Fee

5.42 lakh

Placement Percentage

70-80%

Highest CTC

8 LPA

Average CTC

6 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Tata, Bajaj, HPCL, BPCL, TCS, Texas Instruments, etc.

The placement options are not as rare as students may make out, but it may not be in the field that they are looking for.

So in the end one can say that, if the student truly wants to be a mechanical engineer, then this college probably isn’t for you. If they just want the NIT experience, then they should know what options they will have after college.

How would you rate the B.Tech Biotechnology course in NIT Calicut?

RM
Rahul Mohan Posted On : August 26th, 2021
B.Tech Biotechnology, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (2015)

Biotechnology is a research-oriented course and getting a job is not easy. If you are looking for a core job after completing B.Tech in Biotechnology, then you may face a struggle. Though the NIT tag will help you a lot in looking for opportunities and it is not completely impossible.

To open your options, you can go for higher studies after your graduation. Countries like the UK, Canada, and the US have considerably more scope than India in the domain of Biotechnology. You can pursue a Master’s in domains like Genetic Engineering, Food Technology, Soil Technology, Biomedical Engineering, etc.

The biotechnology department in NIT Calicut requires reforms in terms of faculty, students, industrial and research exposure, and lab work. It can only help with the NIT tag if you are applying to foreign universities.

Who is the best faculty at ECED, NIT CALICUT?

IS
Isha Sharma Posted On : March 25th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Calicut

At first, the term 'best faculty' is not an extensive classification basis. As we know Electronics and Communication are a vast field of engineering, and here we can classify roughly into Digital and analog domains.

The faculty members have different specializations and some are indeed true masters of their trend.

  • For Signal Processing - Dr. G Abhilash – He is the perfect blend of Dedication and discipline redefined. He makes students learn subjects through the blend of excellent lecturing skills as well as practical sessions.
  • For Communication - Dr. lillykutty Jacob and Dr. P C Subramanian (Chaos Theory)
  • For Semiconductor Physics, VLSI - Dr. Rama Subramanian – He is also very popular among students for his student-friendly nature.
  • For Embedded - Lyla B Das – Also the author of some textbooks, she has the industry experience and is also student-friendly.

Dr. Sathi Devi and Dr. Elisabeth Elias are also doing remarkable work in their fields.

Dr. Praveen Sankaran, Ameer P M, Dr. Rama Subramanian, and Abhilash are some of the coolest ones among the faculty members and personal favorites of most of the students. They just not come to deliver lectures but also motivate the students and share their industrial experience.
