NIT Calicut: 21 Answered Questions

What is the reason behind the low rank of NIT Warangal and NIT Calicut in MHRD, NIRF ranking?

Sapna Malik updated

MHRD ranks colleges on the basis of various aspects besides academics. One of them is infrastructure. Unfortunately, NIT Calicut has a poor infrastructure in comparison to other engineering colleges. Weak administrative measures are to blame for this. The college authorities are not utilizing the funds provided by the central government to the fullest extent. 

We can only hope that the infrastructure and other facilities at NIT Calicut improve. If this happens, the rankings of NITC will also improve.

Can one get admission into NIT Calicut via the Kerala State Entrance Exam (KEAM)?

Shubhi SharmaB.Tech from Chandigarh University (2020)

No, you will not get admission to NIT Calicut with your KEAM score. Because NITs and IITs are institutes of national importance, admission is done through National level entrance examinations rather than regional entrance tests. For admission into NITs, the score of JEE(Main) is considered, whereas, for IITs, the score of JEE(advanced) is considered.

Students who completed their XI and XII exams outside of India can apply for DASA seats using their SAT Subject Test scores, and they can also apply for a scholarship through the CIWG scheme, which reduces their tuition to that of JEE students.

What is the dress code of girls in NIT Calicut?

Riya SharmaCivil 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.

Which one is better, NIT Calicut CSE or IIT KGP agricultural?

Ankita BanerjeeStudies Computer Science Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG)

NIT Calicut CSE is a better option compared to IIT KGP Agricultural. It offers good academics and placement opportunities for CSE. Companies like Amazon, Cisco, Infosys, Microsoft, etc. visit NT Calicut placements. During 2022 campus drive, students of CSE received an average CTC of around INR 20 LPA. The highest package for CSE goes up to INR 49-50 LPA.

What should be the preference order for the following: NIT Surathkal EEE, NIT Warangal EEE, NIT Trichy EEE, MANIT Bhopal (hometown) EE, MNNIT Allahabad EE, NIT Calicut EE, and MNIT Jaipur EE?

Raktim Tarafdar

For EE/EEE, out of NIT Surathkal, NITW, NIT Trichy, MANIT Bhopal, MNNIT Allahabad, NIT Calicut, and MNIT Jaipur, I would suggest three institutes in the following order of preference-

  1. NIT Surathkal
  2. NIT Trichy
  3. NIT Warangal

My best friend is studying EEE at NITK and he is quite happy with the department. The teachers in the department are a bit strict. But if you bring up a good project idea and stay attentive in their class, you’ll be in a good position. Also, scoring good grades can be a bit tough, but with hardwork and good preparation, you will surely ace your exams. 

In terms of EEE placements, NITK, NIT Trichy, and NITW are all equally good options.

As a NITK student, you will get certain benefits. These are-

  1. NITK is the only institute in India to have a private beach.
  2. Among the three institutes that I have listed, NITK is the most suitable for people from other parts of India. Even though there is a 50% state quota, you will find plenty of North Indians and people from other parts of India. You will rarely face a language barrier because most people on campus understand English.
  3. You can showcase your technical skills at the IEEE technical club of NITK.
  4. Technites of ‘Engineer’, the techfest of NITK, does some brilliant work with electronics.

Thus, out of NIT Calicut, NITK, NITW, and all the other options listed by you, I would suggest you to choose NITK Surathkal for your EEE.

Is NIT Calicut good for girls (I have heard there are a lot of restrictions for girls). I plan to join EP and I live in Kolkata. Will it be a good choice?

Tezal Dahiya

NIT Calicut is safe for girls but most of its rules are very regressive and gender biased. In the girls' hostel, first-year students have to seek multiple permissions for something as simple as going out to get paracetamol. The NIT Calicut girls hostel curfew starts at 7 PM for first year girls and is relaxed to 9 p.m. for seniors. The exit timings are 6 AM onwards. Everyone has to attend the daily roll calls. 

To travel home, you must submit your permission form two days in advance and exit/enter the hostel between 7 PM to 6 AM. This causes a lot of inconvenience, especially if your train is scheduled at odd hours. 

Hostel amenities are quite average, and just enough for survival.Traveling from Kolkata to Kozhikode is not easy, even by flight. You will get to visit home only during the summer breaks. Also, take up EP only if you are really passionate about Physics and are planning to go for higher studies. If you plan to work in the industry, the placements for EP are quite low. If you can manage with its policies and far-off location, NIT Calicut has a great learning environment and quality of education. Its campus is also really good. NIT Calicut enhances your personality and aids your growth. 

Consider all these factors before making a final decision.

How is Civil Engineering at NIT Calicut? Is it worth studying? What is its package?

Raktim Tarafdar

As a Civil Engineering student, I will dissuade you from pursuing this branch. You might be considering Civil for the tag of IITs, NITs or BITS. The campus placement scenario is not good for Civil and you will be left to either pursue an MS abroad or prepare for GATE/ESE. Both these options have nothing to do with the college tag. You can get an IT job through campus placements, but core jobs are highly difficult to grab. Also, the salary you will be offered in core jobs will not be at par with your NITian tag. Practically speaking, to crack GATE and ESE is more difficult than to crack JEE Mains because of one’s age group at this point. Other government exams are highly irregular and can not be depended upon.

For an average student, it is better to go for CSE or Electronics at an average NIT/ other college. The scenario is not pleasant for Core branches, especially Civil, in India. However, if you are passionate about pursuing Civil, its official placement figures for 2022 are provided by NIT Calicut.

These are the official figures for Civil Engineering 2022 placements at NIT Calicut -

I suggest you consult with the seniors and alumni of the Civil branch of NIT Calicut to get a clearer understanding of the ground reality. Go ahead with this branch if you are passionate about it, otherwise choose among the Circuit branches.

What do pass outs of engineering physics from NIT Calicut do now?

Sunil PatilStudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP) (2021)

Last year my brother completed his engineering physics from NIT Calicut and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in London. As his batchmates choose different career ways after the completion of the course, here are some of the common options you can consider.

  • Pursue higher studies like MS/Ph.D. in foreign countries like the US, Europe or Australia.
  • If you want to be in India, you can go for higher studies or an integrated Ph.D. in IITs or IISCs, by claiming the PMRF(Prime Minister Research Fellowship).
  • You can choose to sit in the campus recruitment program in the “Any Branch category”. 
  • Here you can grab many opportunities such as coding (Eg: Zoho, TCS, Wipro), Data Analytics (Eg: LatentView Analytics), Consultancies (Eg: ZS Associates), Coaching institutes (Eg: TIME, FIITJEE, Topperlearning), Stocks, etc.
  • You can pursue MBA by clearing the CAT exams and going to prestigious institutes of India like IIMs, IIFT, IITs, XLRI, etc.
  • Go for your own startup if you aim to be an entrepreneur.

Above mentioned are some of the most common pathways most people follow after completion of engineering from NIT Calicut. It totally depends on your choice of what is your passion and goals in life. Apart from these you can also think out of the box and come up with unique ideas.

What are the best things for NIT Calicut students to do on weekends?

Sabeer Chalana
Raktim Tarafdar

Here are some things you can do at NIT Calicut to make the most of your free time-

To keep yourself busy, you can join karate classes. This will keep you active. If you are into video games, you will always find others to join you. You can watch late night movies and tv series with friends. You will surely end up cooking some maggie in your kettle when late night hunger strikes. You can go cycling during the weekends, in the morning. But make sure to take proper care and use proper bicycles because the roads in Kattangal are very steep. Apart from all this, if you wish to explore a bit, you can visit IIM Kozhikode or Munnar/ Kochi. 

All that I listed up till now are fun activities. But for a more productive weekend, you can read novels or take part in quizzes and prepare for those. You can also be a member of a club at NIT Calicut. By organizing club events, you can connect with various people and learn management skills. 

If you are a CSE student, your workload will be quite less at NIT Calicut. Thus, you will get plenty of free time. You can use this leisure time by participating in extracurriculars, learning a new skill and making memories with your friends.
