Strong curriculum and a good culture of extra activities.
Placements: About 85% of students who participated in the placement drive were placed in the 2024-25 placement, with the lowest package of 5 LPA and the highest of 43 LPA, with an average of 13.8 LPA. Core placement was less for B.Tech ECE students, and most of it was for software companies. For internships, 22.7% of students who registered secured one for the year 2025.
Infrastructure: NIT Calicut has one of the greatest infrastructures compared to many other colleges. Every classroom has Wi-Fi, projectors, etc. The technical team is quickly available whenever there are any issues regarding these while taking classes. Food is also of good quality, maintaining diversity by providing foods from different parts of India. Sports teams and cultural clubs are also very active in NIT Calicut. I think NIT Calicut is the NIT with the most number of clubs, which include both technical and cultural.
Faculty: All the teachers have the required qualifications, but it does not guarantee that their teaching methods are good. It varies from faculty to faculty. However, the curriculum is very relevant to the current situation. The curriculum is changed every 3 or 4 years, so it is always improving.
Other: ECE at NIT Calicut is a good course. Their curriculum is up to date. Additionally, the alumni support is strong. For events and fests, the main two fests are Ragam, our cultural fest, and Thatva, our technical fest. Both are among the largest fests in South India, so during that time, the campus is very colorful and active.

Placements: In M.Tech, there are so many courses. I chose Chemical Engineering, and it is beautiful. So many students in M.Tech are in the chemical course.

The exams are completely offline, and it's not about being tougher. We have to study for at least one day before the exam to pass.

Placements: We all know that the CSE course is in demand. In my college, to join this course, they had to study so much in intermediate college. So in CSE, there are fewer students. Because only the top knowledge students are in this course. The highest package in the CSE course is 50 LPA, and the average package is 10 LPA. Top companies like Oracle, Amazon, Flipkart, Infosys, Wipro, etc., recruit. So many students prefer internships.

We have so many good facilities here, like canteens, barber shops, groceries, etc. So many shops are available on the campus only. We have so many blocks for hostelers and classrooms. There are big library blocks 24/7 available. We have so many labs available for practical experiments to do with students. The hostel food quality is so good. We have a hospital here, and every day, any time we can play games, if we want, we go to classes.
Faculty: The teachers in NIT colleges are very qualified and knowledgeable. They have so many years of experience in teaching. Some teachers completed their degree in my college, and they started teaching professions in my college. They are well-trained professors. This course is on very advanced technology subjects. For our future generation, these subjects are very useful in many software companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. The semester exams are very hard. We have to study every day for one hour to pass the exam.

Review of NIT Calicut - National Institute of Technology.
Placements: Aneta Pharmaceutical, Torrent Pharmaceuticals, Ratna Trips Pharmaceuticals, and Ajanta Pharma were a few of the chemical-based pharmaceutical companies. They offered packages between 2.9 and 4.4 LPA. A few other companies, like Bharat Rasayan, Lanxess India Pvt. Ltd., and USV Private Limited, were also involved in the campus recruitment of M.Tech students in the Chemical Engineering department.
Infrastructure: Individual hostel facilities were available for first, second, third, and fourth-year students. Hostel security was very strict. Food prepared for the hostellers was always in limited proportion, and the food was not very tasty. Free Wi-Fi connectivity, 24-hour water facilities, and electricity were available in the hostel at all times.
Faculty: Teachers maintained boundaries with students. This created huge respect for them. They did not interfere in students’ personal problems without understanding the situation. Most teachers were highly qualified, with undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
