Absolutely satisfied, not regretting a bit. Really good placement and learning.
Placements: Approximately 90% of eligible students with a CGPA of 6.5 or above got placed. Students who did not meet this requirement were not eligible for placements. The highest package was approximately 60 LPA, offered by Meesho. In the current internship cycle, 28 students, including me, have secured internships out of 130 eligible students, and the process is still ongoing. Students received internship offers from Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, AQR Capital, DE Shaw, Nvidia, and many more companies. The top roles offered are Software Development Engineer (SWE), Systems Engineer, and Analyst.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is really great. We have great labs with really good computer systems and high-speed internet in both the hostels and classrooms. The hostel rooms are quite clean, and the mess food is average. Sports and gaming facilities are also available.
Faculty: Curriculum was updated in 2023, so it is recent and up to date. Professors are great. They focus more on helping students understand concepts rather than just scoring marks. Exams also focus on understanding and implementation rather than theory alone. Most exams are quite difficult and conceptually challenging. Professors are knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Other: College events are really good here. We do not just enjoy them. We also help organize them by joining committees. It is a great place to meet people and have a fun time. There are also many clubs to join.

Great campus, academics, overall college experience.
Placements: NIT Calicut does have good placement opportunities, with students getting placed in core as well as non-core companies. For Civil Engineering, recruitment and opportunities include companies in the construction, infrastructure, consulting, and engineering sectors, along with opportunities in IT and other fields.
Infrastructure: The college provides different buildings for different departments. It also has spacious rooms and provides Wi-Fi, projectors, and all the necessary facilities. The campus also provides gym access for those who need it and has a swimming pool. The campus also has a sports committee that students can join. There are coaches, and students are taken to sports competitions at other NITs.
Faculty: Faculty members are knowledgeable. They are qualified from IITs and are supportive. Curriculum provides a balanced theoretical and practical learning experience. Semester exams are moderately challenging. We also have assignments, seminars, webinars, & workshops. We need to achieve more credit points in order to pursue the degree. We collect them by attending seminars, webinars, and workshops. In terms of attendance, we need to maintain attendance above 80%, or else we will not be able to attend exams.
Other: NITC provides a good academic environment along with excellent opportunities for extracurricular activities, technical programs, and cultural activities.

Our campus is average, not up to the mark actually. Needs more improvement.
Placements: About 88 percent of students are placed in my course. The highest package is about 36.5 LPA, the lowest package is about 4 LPA, and the average package is about 13.7 LPA offered in my course. The top recruiting companies are Tl, Goldman Sachs, Well Fargo, etc. Nearly 30 to 40 percent of students got internships from my course in companies like Tl, Oracle, Goldman Sachs, etc. Top roles offered in my course are VLSI design engineer, telecommunication engineer, and Embedded system engineer.
Infrastructure: Actually, Wi-Fi is not so good here most of the time. Labs are somewhat good, but all of the members may not be getting components that actually work. Classrooms are okay, but if anything like a projector is damaged, it takes ages to fix and may not be fixed at all. Library facilities are okay but not so good. You can't expect much from the hostel and canteen; the food is tasteless. Medical facilities are fine, but sports and games have a lot of bias here.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, but not all teachers can reach out to students properly to make them learn things. It's like we are back to school life, where we have to mug up some things and write paragraphs in exams. Semester exams are sometimes tough and sometimes easier, it depends. The pass percentage is about 80 percent.
Other: Honestly, I chose this course because I hate CSE, and my parents did not allow me to prioritize mechanical over ECE.

My honest opinion about my college.
Placements: Placements have well-defined procedures. There is a big placement team that helps us prepare for placements better and grab a good job. A student who has studied decently throughout is guaranteed to get placed in a reputed company which provides the best profile to the selected candidates. Lots of companies visit the campus every year. The average package is 7 LPA. McKinsey, BCG, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, ITC, Asian Paints, BNP Paribas, Lehman, and Google are top recruiters.
Infrastructure: My hostel is very good. There are nice facilities. The food is also very good according to the menu, food is provided, and it is hygienic.
Faculty: Most of the college faculty members are highly qualified professionals. The way of teaching varies from faculty to faculty. While some lectures are very interesting to hear, some are so boring that you may fall asleep in class. The teaching methods of most of the faculty members are highly traditional. They are very helpful and are always ready to clear our doubts whenever we ask. Good faculty with great knowledge always gives great freedom to students, provides a good atmosphere, and gives much time to improve communication skills. World tours and study tours are required, great opportunity. The course curriculum of this college is pretty good. The college focuses on structured learning activities which allow students to understand the concepts easily and hence help in their growth. The exam structure is divided into 2 semesters in the year. Mostly, the course that is covered in them includes all the in-depth information that can help students develop their skills. Exams are also scheduled wisely.

Not completely satisfied because of placements in core jobs, but overall, it is good.
Placements: Placement depends on the branch. In CSE, around 80% of students get placed. Nearly 60% of students get placed in other circuit branches like Electronics and Communication Engineering and Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Around 50–60% of students from other branches get placed. The average package is around 9 LPA. Majorly, software companies visit our campus. Some core companies like Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, and BEL also visit for recruitment.
Infrastructure: When I was in my 2nd and 3rd year, my hostel was very good in terms of cleanliness and infrastructure. That building was newly constructed. The 4th-year hostels are average. The college is going to make some changes to these hostels. The 1st-year hostels are comparatively better now than ours were.
Faculty: Lectures in NITC are good. They provide valuable information. The exam questions are tough, and the invigilation is also strict. In our college, grading depends on the professor's interest. It can be absolute or relative, but mainly it is relative. The passing percentage is around 85%.

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.
