You would first decide whether it is a good option to do Engineering Physics, then no matter whichever college you choose. It is important that you know a few details before making a final decision about college.

About the course: 

• Engineering Physics is a 4-year programme whose course commences in the first year and for three years you will study the same structure as of BSc-Physics. 
• It includes Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear Physics, etc. But in Engineering Physics practical knowledge is given more importance which will help you gaining extermination knowledge. 

Placements:

• A career after Engineering Physics is not promising. You cannot expect to get a place on campus with an Engineering Physics degree. 
• There are not many companies that have the Engineering Physics job requirement. 
• Most of the companies have different recruitment processes which cannot be done on-campus, except government firms like DRDO, BARC, etc.

You should not lose hope as college faculties and alumni help students in getting placed by identifying your interest. 

Scope:

• Some students after completing Engineering Physics go for an MSc course and get into research and join IITs or institutes such as BARC. 
• To get good opportunities you have to work hard and keep taking GRE, GATE, and other exams to clear it. 
• If you do not want to go for research, then you can join a non-engineering job or can go for TFI etc.

Therefore, if you have an interest in Engineering Physics and ready to work hard then go for it. It will surely pay you well. Most of the college faculties also help students in getting placed, so do not worry much about it.

It depends upon the state you belong to. I have a few friends from both NIT Calicut and NIT Allahabad and based on the reviews I got from them, l recommended that you go for NIT Allahabad. Here are some reasons why.

• Allahabad is in close proximity to Delhi, as opposed to Calicut. The faculty of Delhi’s top universities visit the Allahabad campus often and rather, conveniently.
• The course structure at both NIT Calicut and NIT Allahabad are similar. This gives you the freedom to choose the Allahabad campus and not move extremely far down the south. However, in case you belong to Kerala, you can opt for NIT Calicut.

Having said that, you are required to concentrate on what your goals are; and consider your aims following M.Tech. Choosing an institute based on that will be better. 

One of my friends is from NIT Calicut. He is currently a student in the mechanical department. According to him, he has faced both ups and downs, but states that the journey is totally worth it.

Faculty

• The faculty present in NIT Calicut is considered to be among the best 5 faculties among all the NITs. 
• They are well experienced and cooperative. 
• The syllabus and the course curriculum have been updated and improvised based on the GATE exam. 
• They are also updated with the motive to give students the idea of all topics related to all the branches.

Placement

• NIT Calicut has a good placement rate of 87-92 percent overall. 
• Students get placement offers from IT sectors and corporate firms. 
• The placement record is seeing a positive graph with each passing year.

Infrastructure

• The institute’s infrastructure is excellent. 
• It is well equipped with labs for practical use with the latest technology. 
• Lush green fields and grounds are present in its huge campus.

Therefore, it can be said that pursuing Mechanical Engineering from NIT Calicut is a really good option. It will give you enough exposure for your career ahead.

The thing is that a degree in MBA has a huge opportunity to do anything individually, rather than the institution. SOMS NITC provides immense opportunities to the students. 

The syllabus may be quite similar to the other institutes, but this institute has an exceptional teaching staff quality. Additionally, the teachers mainly come from NITC, in the case of some specific subjects, which enhances the course's ultimate value.

Besides, the infrastructure facilities of this institute are just impressive. Moreover, it is considered the best among the whole NITC. Placement statistics are also outstanding as many students from this institute get placed, although they do not get much higher packages.

The following table shows the placement statistics of the institute:

The infrastructure is splendid and is considered to be the best among the entire NITC. Most of the students get placed, though the packages offered are not quite high. The students of this institute have developed several committees and forums so that the placement statistics can be enhanced and internship opportunities and public relations can be taken care of.

One of my friends, who studied at NIT Calicut, once told me some overrated things that a student may experience in NIT Calicut. The followings are the most overrated things that the students may get in NIT Calicut.

Everyone wants to join clubs mainly in their first year that is ICA, ISTE, and LnD. In the following, some reasons are highlighted why the students want to join this.

• ISTE: Basically, the existence of this club is just a joke. Maybe, they conduct some engineering and pseudo-cultural events if most of the top members are familiarised with the Jackshit of engineering. It seems very impressive in the first years, as the students are much young with less maturity, so it is easy to accumulate cash from them.

• LnD: In this club, people think that reading Chetan Bhagat will make them scholarly geniuses. Besides, the students who have read Dan Brown and Robert Ludlum think that they know each and everything about fiction. The only interesting thing about this club is its names, and who have named this club and, that guy must have a good sense of humor.

• ICA: This club consists of some frank people who do not have anything to do, and they only come here to dance. This place is quite interesting to meet up with friends, especially the girls, although they will end up in a relationship by making it a friend zone. Additionally, there are too many politics to enter this clubhouse as most of these club members are from North India. Maybe these people have a lower IQ of NITC by 20 points or less than that.

Thus, it can be concluded that these overrated things in NIT Calicut are actually beneficial for the student as it helps them in personal development. Club culture in NIT Calicut helps a student to build a network, which is advantageous for their future career development plan.
